Nice looking snail and a good pic of it, bummer its a zoa muncher!

OK... Updated FTS and a few individuals. They're a little rushed so they're not the greatest. Cyano and diatoms are all but gone and everything seems a little more settled.

Love the whole pic series, some beautiful specimens!

.... for those who feel they have to spend $1000 on a skimmer, here's five days worth of skimate from my $250 Reef Octopus:

Just fed my corals and I came back to the tank 20 min later to find my only hermit crab on top of my lobo and the lobo looking like this.

Not cool, right?

Certainly looks pissed off! The hermit was stealing its food I assume?

Elias · Apr 28, 2013

Yeah I guess that was its original plan but it looked like it was picking at the stringy stomach bits of the coral at the time I spotted it. D'ya recon this could be the culprit of my acans demise?

I am not a fan of hermits so I would say yes, but not based on any knowledge of hermits damaging corals ... just because I hate hermits haha.

Well Pete, I agree at this stage. We know enough about this hobby to know we don't know enough! He's in the sump for now until further notice.

Woot triple post! Just a guess but I don't think @chimaera likes hermits :p
