Hello, List of my tank: 1 Tank of about 30 gals. 1 Percula Clown (False) 2 Banggai Cardinals 2 Pajama Cardinals 2 Cleaner Shrimp 1 Emerald Crab 1 Arrow Crab 5 Cortez Hermits 2 Red scarlet Hermits 1 Crab (unknown) A few more unknown creatures (uncured live rock 28lbs) Numerous Bristle worms and Pest Anemones Anyway, my tank has been up and running from Nov 2004 and running very well after the cycle. Now I am starting to notice a difference in one of my Cleaner shrimp. Just before the last molt process there was a black spot just behind the eyes in the white stripe. After the molt and Harding the black spot is no longer there instead there is a growth of some kind. It rises up about a 1/8 inch its color is brownish tan. I have been learning many lessons about this hobby and have had my share of research. Thanks for any advice Craig I
