Blood Shrimp in Distress

Once again, mere days after treating my dogs with Frontline flea and tick medication, I find several of my invertebrates in distress. The blood shrimp has apparently lost most of his motor control and sight. He seems to thrash about in the tank, randomly bashing into things and getting him self wedged into tight areas. I’m pretty sure hes blind, as he does not respond to light or my presence near him in the tank. The last time this happened, the shrimp came very close to dying when he ended up getting sucked into the sump pump.

Day 166: Emerald Crab RIP

Thursday, November 2nd, 2006

The emerald crab was dead this evening. It doesn’t appear to be the result of foul play, there are no obvious marks on her and shes in all one piece. I suspect shes had a problem for some time, as she has never molted in the nearly five months I’ve had her in the tank.

Wednesday, November 1st, 2006

It has been some time since I updated. Here are a few progress shots taken today. The zoanthids are really starting to spread out on the rocks, and the acropora is plating outward as well.
