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?

Maybe juz concern lah ..

[Achilles Tang]

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.

Guess i really got to buck up in my English..

[Achilles Tang]

If its a commensual crab or shrimp... you don't have to remove it.

[freSS|ne]

in that case, i will just leave it alone.
