Hello!
Lovely forum, my husband set up a reef tank a while ago and has since moved on to other hobbies. I've inherited caring for it (I'm very inexperienced).
It has two mated Australian reef clown fish (darker type not the bright orange) and used to have a bicolour blenny and some cleaner shrimp that have since vanished.
This morning I was looking for the blenny with a torch before the light came on and discovered an urchin (had no idea it was in there) and something that looks like a lobster (but that can't be right?) or some kind of larger shrimp but it's not like the ones we had previously. Can anyone help me identify the new inhabitants that I suspect were just living their best lives in the liverock.
The ocean is terrifying.
Lovely to meet you all!
