Afternoon Crew… I hope you are all well. Update on the cleaner shrimp: It did indeed moult and seems to be doing well – now a pristine beastie with all the dark spots on the shed carapace. Strangely, they don’t look anywhere near as dark now. Since this I have been looking at all shrimps much more closely and have noticed it on friends cleaners and on blood shrimps and cleaners at LFS near here – most of them hadn’t noticed and didn’t have a clue what it was. Except for GM in Northampton (well done lads). On a slightly different but still fishy tack… many people seem to have difficulty keeping Dragonets due to their specialized food requirements. Can I encourage you all to start a marine “pod farm”. It is very easy. I have a 5 litre mineral water bottle with 4 litres of my tank water in. I bought two inoculums from www.reefworks.co.uk and stand the whole thing on my south facing window-sill in my workshop
