    I liked the cleaner shrimp too when I had them..I think them,the halloween crabs & the neon blue stripe crabs were all pretty cool.

    It more than likley happened during shipping. I think the cold may have gotten to the cord and made it snap

    Nice looking corals
    Is the tank pretty stable now?
    How often are you having to do water changes?

    thanks!

    and yea tank parameters are doing great, i will probably end up having to dose for calcium but that's pretty normal.

    And i do a 5 gallon water change once a week.

    found a creepy looking bug on my brain, if you zoom in its right about the black and white cerith snail

    If you can find pickling lime at your local grocery store it's 100% Calcium hydroxide abd far cheaper the aquarium produces that are out there. just FYI
