What's your FAVORITE invert for a reef tank?

[kevgib67]

Well, my Royal Blue Tuxedo urchin, it’s my avatar after all. Most interactive, my skunk cleaner shrimp that clean my hands when they are in the tank. My tiger conchs are just goofy.

Ya, but aren’t paid as well! That’s a zoa and the other is gsp. Everyone moves out of its way since it started sporting an emerald claw as a badge!

Keep em coming! Let's see and hear about your favorite inverts this Friday!

Tuxedo Urchins and Conch Snails for me.

Had a pretty humorous incident with a hermit crab falling off my weir and getting stuck to my Tuxedo Urchin:

Why did nobody say clams?

Tuxedo urchins for getting rid of my algae

 

[kevgib67]

Wow, you are right! That should be number one. I’d have a tank full if my system was set up to support them, unfortunately it is not.

This is TRUE!

Astrea snails so busy all the time also have my red stars that zip around the tank window and all over well everywhere

Kids love to watch where they end up next

 

[TX_REEF]

Bubbletip anemone for sure! But if you mean something more traditionally motile, then trochus snails. They are the very hardest working and least intrusive algae eaters I’ve had the pleasure of having in my reef thus far.

 

[TopShelfAquatics]

Love seeing everyone's replies! We have been culturing in house Stomatella's and I have to say those snails are some of the best workers! Can get in all the cracks and crevices!

If you don't mind a bit of coral agitation, skunk cleaner shrimp have a unique charm

 

[Bear Claw]

I have a Cleaner Shrimp named Franswa and he is the best. So much movement and personality.

My second would be a tiger sand conch. They are hilarious looking. Love the ways their eyes stick out.

Sea hare for algae control then on to another system, lol.

 

[WalkerLoves_TheOcean]

Skunk cleaner shrimp because my first tank had a pair of clownfish, and a cleaner shrimp. 2 iconic characters from one of my favorite movies as a kid!

No love for brittle stars? Also good ones for tight spaces and rock work! We actively aquaculture these and have them available on our website!

I like them, but they just give me the creeps. Please tell me I am not the only one. Lol.

I agree with all the conch's. Sounds boring, but I also like the standard cleaner shrimp. A group of them are just fun to watch, when they aren't annoying your corals...

Same here I recently got a conch and he is awesome!
