I think you hit it on the head here.

Aquascaping looks good to me too!

I think your tank looks nice. There is lots of room for corals to grow. I think the TBS aquacultured rock is denser than reef rock so it doesn't take up that much space.

Very cheap trap I used once for cleaner shrimp, take a water bottle, cut the tip off, push the rest of the "cone" inward, put a piece of shrimp or food of some kind in there, and you have your trap. It's worked for me every time. The "problem child" will go right into the trap to get the food but will get "trapped" inside. Much like a lobster trap. Works on eels, crabs, shrimps, fish, etc...

I caught the gorilla crab and thought it would be fun to take him to my local fish store & watch him get eaten by a octopus. It was pretty cool. Wish I had pictures...

I wouldn't mind having a smaller setup with dividers for all these hitchhikers, some are pretty cool as long as they don't disturb anything else. I like mantis in "mantis only" setups.
