I fitted a couple of blue leds to my new tank just to see how it looked.
I new some corals glow under blue lights but I was very surprised to find large chunks of my live rock
glowing bright red !.
Could some one tell me what this is
Thanks

Keep an eye on the little crab,it may with time become a big crab and eat your corals.

Hi Lindsay
I found out the other day that not all stowaways are welcome.
AndyG poped round and told me my enenome's were pests.so i got a needle and syringe and jabbed them full of lemon juice.
I killed the larger ones but I will have to wait for the small ones to grow before I can get them.
I will keep an eye on the crab,hes tiny at the moment,around 3mm-4mm

Cheers
