| The pipe insulation that home depot sells works well. Its that black foam that goes around pipes to prevent freezing. They are cut lengthwise so they snap over the sides of strainers and such really well. I have used them to seperate fish and house anemones temporarily | |

| Ya I thought about using stirofoam insulation or caulking cord at first but I did'nt have any on hand. Everyone knows I'm to cheap to buy anything unless I have to . I allready had this stuff on hand. Its not floating as well as I had planned so I guess I'm going to have to by the insulation anyway. If at first you dont succeed try try again. And in my case again and agian and again Thanks for the advice though. the pipe insulation is going to look better anyway!!! | |

OHHHH I hate that! I cant stand when hermits and shrimp do that! and even worse, sometimes my sailfin tang will sniff out the food and go after it, I cant stand watching him slurp on the feeding tentacles like they're spagetti noodles! | |
