Happy anniversary to you and your wife!!
 
I have nassarius snail, bumblebee, astreas
I believe the larva have a planktonic stage, so they don't tend to survive to the next stage in our tanks. Trochus also seem to have a free swimming stage, but very short and so many eggs/sperm broadcast that some survive when they settle on the substrate.

I got him for my birthday on Saturday.
He's a fine one! I couldn't keep my pod populationup so I went with an oscelated dragonet (scooter blenny) that will eat absolutely anything. The dude even eats flakes. Now I have pods everywhere. I love these little benthic bottom bouncers.
