We got crabs!!!

This is Lobsta, our fire shrimp!

Kinda hard to see this guy, I named him Arnold cause he's very buff and looks like he works out a lot. We just added him tonight.

No really, they live in our basement now! Along w/ some snails and a couple shrimp [one named affectionately "Lobsta" in honor of my hubby's heritage! :) ] My sweet hunny has been wanting a salt water tank for as long as I've known him so here we go. Pooh on the crappy housing market we're going ahead w/ our own ocean reef in our basement. The first night we got our crawly things we found ourselves , all three of us watching for almost an hour, literally noses against the glass. A little sad I know, we don't get out much! It's a facinating process. We're growing live rock and waiting anxiously to see what's gonna grow next! We are all turning into Ocean science nerds. Love it!
