Eggs Hatched

I assume my boxer crabs eggs have hatched because after about a week of carrying them, they are now gone. Hopefully some critters in the tank got a nice meal out of them :) I really need to get her a mate!

Boxer crab with eggs

I learned the other day that my boxer crab is a she. She was MIA for about a week. Usually I can catch glimpses of her everyday but nothing for a week or more. I was kind of worried. Well, nothing to worry about. She reappeared the other day with a red belly full of eggs. I'm never able to get a good picture of her.....this is the best I could do:

The reef is 4 months old

Sorry for the lack of updates. My reef tank is now 4 months old as of June 8th. I replaced my frogspawn with a kenya tree. I've been looking for a leather type coral to replace it for awhile now. I don't want to mix softies and hard coral if I can help it. My gorgonia is technically a hard coral but I don't think it wars with softies like a frogspawn would.

I really love the kenya. I know they can get out of hand...but that is the goal for this tank....OUT OF HAND...LOL :)

The new kenya is located on the left side when looking at the photo. As always, click on picture for bigger size:
