MRAMC3 thanks for the lobos great addition..... yeah there still growing but are always hungry
and i just need to keep feeding them krill so they dont starve but my damn fish keep steeling the food out of them so its been tricky along with an agressive clownfish not helping matters

decor crab picture is recent too always hiding lol
