Awe the fish and crab are cute! Is that a type of blenny?
Yes you’re correct it is a blenny they are very common and if you put them in a aquarium they hide for the first couple of days and don’t eat after that the will great you every morning for food and they are really cute . The other native fish I love ie a gunnel fish some people call them butter fish theyy are very shy and take a couple of weeks to settle in they look abit like a eel but the don’t eat there tank mates

In most books they are called common blenny
Ii have three at the moment and they are super friendly and very much in your face when you go near the tank they’re very greedy

They struggle in higher temperatures probably water been low in oxygen. I have kept them at 70f and they seemed too be ok
The ones I have now are at 60f and there happy
When you go near the tank they come and great you .
A great fish for a cooler tank
This time of year the sea water is about 14 c so that cool
I’ve just got a new filter a tub of oysters they are super at filtering water. They have to get plankton twice a day. But they’re doing a great job. Going to try and do some videos of me rock pooling but ii have never done it before lol

Couple of sea squirts filter feeders

And a not looking it’s best a Sea Hare theses animals if in danger squirt ink at you and release toxins harmless to humans but harmful to other sea creatures. They can grow very large over time so this one is only really a baby
I hope you have enjoyed the photos and I will be travelling further a field too
Show you some amazing sea creatures

Hi all members
I would like some feedback from you all there are members that post and put input into the group but there are some members that have never put any input into it . I don’t know your thoughts on removing the badges from the members that have never given any sort of input. I would love to hear from you all in the group doesn’t have to be everything about Rock Pooling. It can be what you’re up too
What you are making how you’re reef doing
What other interests you have away from work hours. Please give your thoughts how to make things better in the group. I can not do it all my self. Thanks everyone

There are few posts to respond to however others can post updates, and new acquisitions as well as discuss future thoughts and plans for tank
To stay busy, I’m at work frequently with the upcoming travel busy season
