    Bad crab? ID please

    I found what appears to be a crab molt in our 120 gallon tank. I figure it is "bad" so I'm going to try to catch. Anyone recognize the claw for ID? The claw is about the size of a dime.

    Fragging Dendro's

    I ordered some dendro's for a group buy. They arrived as a colony, I don't see an easy way to frag them. I can dremel through the rock, but most of the heads are attached to another head. Any recommendations on how to frag this coral?

    Chiller water throughput

    Does anyone know how to calculate the water pressure / throughput loss of adding a chiller to the return line? Do I simply add the distance of the hoses + 2' or so for the chiller for the head loss?
