Clownfish photo bombs! And then the biggest emerald crab ever! Though he just lurks... used to have various shrimp. They used to hide where he lives. Pretty sure that’s where they disappeared to!

My native stick insect eggs have started to hatch! I had almost given up hope that they would. This species is Diapheromera femorata. They will feed on oak leaves.
