CoralCrazy Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Got lucky today when I was moving some rock around. I never get to see this guy except for maybe a leg. So I decided to snap a couple pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stylaster Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 i have a big one like that too! Last i measured when i moved he was about 14" tip to tip, i have never had them move or knock anything over, usually just hides under the rock with the tips of his arms sticking out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoralCrazy Posted December 9, 2010 Author Share Posted December 9, 2010 He never knocks stuff over. The only time I even see movement is when I feed the tank and he sticks out a arm. He hangs out with my goby shrimp pair as their personal guardian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwenReefin Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Whats the smallest size tank for these cool things? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowpunk Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I had to get rid of mine, he was just too big for the 75g. I never actually measured but I would venture to say around 20" maybe a little bigger. At that size i just started to worry about losing fish to him so I took him to seahorses refugium almost 2 years ago... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
