  No3 ID hitch hiker crab pls (Hell Boy)

  Posted: November 18th, 2011, 6:52am CST by Len

  My very smart hitch hiker crab is getting very tame, even posed for a photo last week.
  
  He is locally know as Hell Boy (for obvios reasons).
  
  I always assume crabs are bad, but this one has been in my tank since the start and even with a lot of small gobies I have had no losses (that I can contribute to him).
  
  Any idea on ID?
  
  Assume he has to go (not been very successful at catching him).

  A quick heads up...I've posted these in other forums as well, so please no dibs.
  
  Okay, these are taking up space and my angels are bumping them around...as I'm shipping other stuff to some East London guys, I will consider shipping there as well (will do so in December). Other areas, lets see if guys would wanna club in as it will be expensive just to ship one coral...though I will do so if u are happy with the shipping costs. Shipping is same day, airport to airport, you wll need to pay full cost upfront and I can only ship in mid-December. Prices are in the pics.

  Brain Damage

  Posted: November 18th, 2011, 10:45am CST by SliverZA

  I bought this brain a week ago and from what I can tell it is doing ok. I noticed this morning that the flesh seems to have disappeared from part of the skeleton, I am not sure if something has been nipping at it or if it is decaying as it was fine yesterday.
  
  What should i do?

  Rector pump advice

  Posted: November 18th, 2011, 9:19am CST by FransSny

  Hi guys
  
  I would like to run the following off 1 pump and need some advice.
  
  1. Biopellt Reactor (ReefOcto BR - 70)
  2 Skimz FM 100 - Carbon
  3 Not sure which reactor yet but PO4 remover
  
  I was thinking using something like Eheim compact 3000 and valves to throttle each reactor to achieve correct flow rates
  
  Any thoughts ?
