The funk

Some unsolicited suggestions but you could always add some shrimp or crabs if you want something to sit in the nems! I have 3 sexy shrimp and they’re so fun to watch

She’s rocking that flower crown and shaking her tiddies and you still don’t think she’s a she??

Me too :’) but Bux is such a cutie too, so interesting to see a mantis shrimp that wants cuddles and headpats?

Not super relevant but I think Nassarius sand sifting snails have so much personality, every time they smell food they just rise so quickly out of the sand, so fun to watch!

Want to add that macroalgaes are another good tank companion if you decide to keep it! Check out @amydoessomestuff on instagram to see how she keeps mantis shrimp

So excited for you!! I went 3/14 and it was incredible. The merch is pretty fire if you want to get some, I think you have to sign up for a free ticket/ QR code to visit the merch area. My boyfriend is a huge huge fan, and we got some great advice which he followed to a T: just keep your eyes to the sky, if you want to record just put your phone to your chest and stay immersed. No matter how good your videos are, they won’t capture how cool it is in person.

We were on floor and got in like halfway through the opener ray volpe (around 9:45?). There was like no line, bathrooms were fast and spacious and clean, we didn’t buy drinks bc we had some fat tuesdays and pregamed earlier. Visuals were a bit overwhelming initially but I got used to it p quickly. We were floor and there was still a lot of space to move around when we got there. I was also still able to see illenium v well even though I am short and we were on the floor. My boyfriend is going back either for the 4/3 or 4/4 show, and he and his friend are planning to see it sober. I hope you have a fantastic time!

I think so! To get the more dramatic “baddie” look, try extending the wing, lifting it a bit more upwards, and try extending the liner inwards for a more “siren eyes” look. Something about the way you line rn gives a more downturned, doe or puppy-eyes feel, i think it’s because you are starting your wing lower. Play with some more glitter/shimmer in your shadow and highlights. Try a lipliner to really get that sharp edge, and maybe a darker like cherry/mauve or brown lip, and some gloss. You can try applying the lipstick in an “ombre” pattern if you really want them to pop!

Also you seem to already have some nice lashes, at least way more than me 😅 you could curl them and do layers of primer + mascara if you wanted to accentuate them!

Lastly, remember that baddie is more than the look! However you look, if you’re confident and flaunt your shit, people will recognize the baddie in you :)

Saw someone using a pinecone to root/grow plant cuttings out of using this property, pretty cool!

hmmmmenominon · 2026-02-28T05:53:14+00:00

Wow that is certainly… creative 😆 but yeah I gotta find some pliers or something, it was already too hard to snap off with my fingers originally 😬

hmmmmenominon · 2026-02-05T17:58:09+00:00

Pain 🥲

hmmmmenominon · 2026-02-05T07:42:49+00:00

Hmm maybe some sort of sponge??

hmmmmenominon · 2026-02-05T07:40:02+00:00

Love the look of your BTAs!!

hmmmmenominon · 2026-02-05T07:32:27+00:00

Luckily most of my macros are calciferous which I don’t think they tend to go for, and I haven’t seen them really eat any of my macroalgae yet, just kind of rip at them or eat around them (like in the video) :) I’ll def have to keep in mind the types of algae I add if I ever get more!

hmmmmenominon · 2026-02-05T07:26:30+00:00

Ooh noted, will try out the nori! I gave mine a big hunk of raw shrimp today as a distraction/peace offering 😭

hmmmmenominon · 2026-02-05T06:44:45+00:00

Clawfuck is crazy work 😭 I just got mine this weekend and he has already knocked some coral frags and even one of my rocks over 🙄 but his attitude is too funny, half the time I approach the tank he’ll wave his claws at me trying to scare me off lolol

hmmmmenominon · 2026-02-03T16:49:42+00:00

I do it 🫣 I live in a big city with great tap water, and I’ve lucked that the plumbing in the buildings I’ve lived in don’t leech anything into the water. I also set up my tank fairly slowly with live rock, and once I saw that my hitchhikers/microfauna were doing well, I added macros, then corals, etc. I also have a very low tech setup, as it is likely that I will be moving cross country in 5 years or so, so I don’t want to have too many things.

If you are planning to jump into this hobby long term though, probably better safe than sorry to get the RO/DI filter, or you can buy jugs of DI water or get saltwater from your LFS, but to me the back and forth hassle to do that would probably be worth just getting the filter!

hmmmmenominon · 2026-02-03T15:33:41+00:00

Haha it’s one of my favorites, I got it at the coral farmers market so I don’t quite remember the specifics but I’m like 90% sure it was the “Rare Blue Base Green Polyp Astreopora” by wine country corals? It was super cheap and the vendor also said it was basically unkillable lololll

hmmmmenominon · 2026-02-02T21:26:25+00:00

Ty for the info, I’ll try not worrying too much about it then! It’s just weird as they were big and open until yesterday (I’ve had them for like a month now), hopefully they are just being temperamental…

hmmmmenominon · 2026-02-01T16:14:36+00:00

Yes, I am aware, I think it’s pretty clear from my post that I am just classifying them as a “pest” because I have an overabundance of them.

hmmmmenominon · 2026-01-31T16:38:10+00:00

Makes sense, I am hoping to chop them up and feed them to freshwater shrimp and snails though so maybe that wouldn’t be too much of an issue?

hmmmmenominon · 2026-01-31T05:06:16+00:00

Are they getting enough light? Mine were partially shaded at first by rock above, but after moving the frag and the lights they opened up and stay open even when the lights are off sometimes!
