I just saw a pistachio-nut-sized clam in there that got me a lot more
excited than it probably should have

My problem is I enjoy watching the rock come to life so much that I can't
quit buying it. I really didn't NEED any more, but they got a new
shipment, and this one piece had so much stuff on it that it looked like
its own little reef. Beautiful pink/orange coralline, which of course has
faded...
I made a mistake the last time we went to the beach and brought home a
little crab. Not a hermit crab, looks like a stone crab maybe. Dark
brown, pretty big claws, stalks around the tank like a muscle-bound
bodybuilder, ya know how their arms don't hang straight because the
muscles are too big...Yeah anyway I put him in my 8-gal, and he dug ALL
the sand out from under the rocks and piled it around the edges and ate my
peppermint shrimp. So he got moved to a 2-gal., and he guards it
jealously. It was one of those little oval plexi tanks that has an
airline built in that goes along the bottom of the tank under the sand. I
turn on the air once in awhile and he RUNS out and attacks the bubbles --
it's hilarious. VBG I call him Rocky.
