Help to ID 2 living items

[loonz]

Hi, have noticed a rather good looking macroalgae growing on my rocks of late...the growth is immensely slow. Fortunately there are no tangs to devour them as yet.

Next is this 2" crab that is always seen nibbling off the backwall of the tank. I have caught at least 5 crabs using prawn bait in a chicken essence bottle. They were all kind of a dirty brown colour. However, this fella here looks different from those I caught, it is much darker, bigger and seems to be a "vegetarian"...haha...herbivorous?

Not sure if the pics turn out?

Got a little problem here...must the pics be on some webpage in order to appear here in the forum? Can they be straight from my hd?

If not...can anyone recommend a webpage to upload them to? Thanks

[typrobin]

open the file and save them as JPG or JPEG files...

[loonz]

They are already jpeg files in my harddisk...but i am not sure how to use the IMG tags...keep telling me they are dynamic files and cant be uploaded...

dude,

ur pics are too big,

resize and repost or the mods will most likely remove it.

the marcoalgae is too blur to identify,

heres a good link to many types of aquarium caulerpa,

see if you can identify it yourself
