New Crab and a couple....

So after seeing some green bubble algea appear, I decided to take a chance with some Emerald Crabs. I picked up 3 small ones last night and did they do a number on the algea. I new it would be a hit or miss and they ripped through it. Check them out with a couple other pics too.







not sure why this pic has a pick color to it. My lighting is a 14k 150w DEH

Re: New Crab and a couple....

I wish I could get rid of all the small white dots all over the glass without scrubbing every week !! I think they are some sort of worm. Spiral worm I think !

Either spirorbid worms or coralline taking hold. Yeah, it's a pain, but it's a sign of a healthy tank.
