09/26/09

Observed Specimen 1 clubbing a Palaemonetes vulgaris (common shore shrimp), seemingly for coming too close to his burrow. He observed the shrimp for a minute before finally clubbing it. The shrimp went flying away faster than my eye could follow and i heard an audible 'click' sound. The strike was impressively fast.

New impeller for the Rio NanoSkimmer came in today, and the skimmer is reborn. Big thank you to Kevin at TAAM for the prompt and knowledgeable service, not to mention the free fix.

Added a 225 gph powerhead and replaced the heater with a shatterproof unit today.

Received a shipment of feeder shrimp (Palaemonetes vulgaris) today.

Specimen 1 was reliably viewable most of the day at either the East or West entrance to his burrow under the base rock.

Introduced 2 (presumed) Parma microlepis (white ear scalyfin damsels) as dither/feeders tonight.
