Thanks, not too sad la, just quite amazed. Didn't expect that. It was quite a sight to see part of the fish sticking out of the polyp. Actually bro Ashwin might be right, perhaps the fish died and drifted over? It hardly came out so might not have had a chance to feed... Comparatively his other tank mates are all very greedy and competitive during feeding time

Hi guys! Some updates on my tank.

Noticed this little critter in the millie. Can anyone help to ID this crab - or rather more importantly is this crab safe or should i destroy it STAT?

Some of the other new additions to the tank :)

What is your cam setting?

I use a canon dslr with a macro lens. The settings vary depending on what dof I want to achieve and also how much available light there is, because my maxspect lights are set to mimic the diurnal cycle (ie sunrise-sunset)... Generally i try to keep the ISO as low as possible to control noise. Hope this helps!

Hello Sherman,

No I take it through the glass... This does limit the angles at which I can photograph my corals from.
