So I just got this guy from work and had to post a pic since they are not commonly found in home aquariums. Its a Tiger Prawn. Yes the kind you normally eat lol. It likes to clean and bury in the sand. He is about 5" long http://s63.photobucket.com/user/Boysty/media/IMAG0269.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s63.photobucket.com/user/Boysty/media/IMAG0268.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  ------------- Time waits on no one |

My shop had a direct diver shipment come in today with some cool stuff and he said they are completely reef safe and just clean sand. so far all he has done is clean sand. This was the biggest one out of the 5 we got in so i snagged it first. ------------- Time waits on no one |
