This week marks 6 months into my biocube 14 gallon tank and overall I am pleased. One of my arrow crabs lost a claw about 4 mo ago and it still has not shown any signs of regeneration- he is having a hard time lately grooming himself with one claw and appears to be growing algae colonies on his one good claw- I am afraid the end might be near for him. On a good note I have been able to keep mt BTA alive despite getting skewered on this forum for putting an anemone in a small tank but he appears very healthy with nice bubble tips and greenish coloring- I feed him a bay scallop every 3 days - this must be making up for the relative lack of light for survival - 4 watts per gallon. My live rock sprouts something new every week- there is a nice patch of soft pinkish anemone-like coral spreading over one of the rocks. I might have to prune it back soon . On a sad note one of my hermits crawled into the flow outlet and was shot out like a cannon- my wife heard a loud pop- when we looked the crab had lost its shell and appeared to be injured- in short time several other hermits descended upon him- they really are vicious!
