Achilles Tang Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 Fress, Do you have a digital camera? Can you take some shots? Would like to take a look at the crab and the damaged coral. BTW, you know that such corals do not live very long in captive reef tanks... don't you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Achilles Tang Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 Nah... come on lah... just want to find out when I should launch a Speak Good English campaign amongst adult reefers in SRC. I got a call from the government to help out in this campaign after they have been monitoring the appalling amount of Singlish in SRC! Joking!

Would really like to take a shot for you guys to see but i do not have a digital camera. Is tiny little crabbie which trying to crawl out from it's "home". It came out last night and i reliese now the gap where the crab came out has closed up.. guess it is sleeping inside? did a search last night, it says its branches provide shelter for a variety of other organisms, such as crabs and small fish.So think is ok.. but still don't know should i take it away.
