VERY GOOD ADVICE RIGO!!! Glad you checked those holes!!!

 

[bobby]

Good advise, but that rule goes for more than reefing you know. LMAO

 

[RigoSharon]

[reeffreak]

''Check every hole''Whew Rigo,you scared me for a sec:shock: :lol: :lol:
Good Advice

 

[SSalty]

That would have been bad.

Lucky you found it before hand.

Than again, you are lucky either way, you have access to hand picking coral.

heres another one guys..a few days ago i started to hear a chirping sound..i stare for hours in front of the tank but nothing...today i hear it again, i saw this green bastard hanging from a hole looking for its next meal!!..i guess my sea lettuce was his breakfast..

there some hermit shells that this murderer had in his cave..
heres the rock were it was hidden..a lot of escaping posibilities..too bad the predator became the pray!!!

now i know what yote must feel when a hunt comes succesfull...hhahaha

 

[yote]

Its always good when a hunt comes together,lol.

 

[ToMatorClown]

It must be nice to have hours to spend in front of your tank just staring at it. :D Good job at catching it though.

 

[bobby]

Good job on catching him. And good thing you found him before he killed anything else.
