rick allen and evil clowns

thejrc · 08/06/2007, 11:38 PM

So this coral banded shrimp I have boppin around my tank mysteriously lost an arm sunday morning... I pondered this but he seemed to be doing fine, later on Rocmtnreef stopped in for some chaeto and we both watched in awe as one of my clowns went commando (thats right commando) on a hermit crab that just happened to wander by her anenome, they both went nuts!

In typical me fashion, I named the shrimp, some of you will recognize the name of the def leppard drummer.... anyhow rick allen now goes out of his way to avoid the clowns... I'm thinking he was brutally attacked in a turf war by a rival gang. When will the maddness stop? Perhaps someday we will see a truce between the clowns and they're weaker rivals the inverts but knowing my luck the war will wage on producing much violence, a few innocent casualties, and possibly a poor gangster rap album.

Keep on truckin Rick, keep on truckin...... btw copepod blog now updated nightly

dunno, it looks like theres a little arm sprout popping out there, shame tho. If he had two arms I'd have to change his name.

I think someone misunderstood when we said this was a club for "reefers"!

Hmm. Somehow "Thunder God" doesn't seem appropriate for a shrimp.
