Creepy crawlers in the reef tank: Do you have a favorite slow-mover in your tank?

What's the top one?

I don't remember what that was. It showed up in my tank one day and got to a couple of inches across and was very cool. Then a year or so later, it vanished.

Lately it's been my lettuce sea slug. His name is Waldorf. He did get sorta sucked into a filter so he's a little shorter than he used to be. But recovered!

Walforf!

Big conch had been dethroned... this tuxy urchin had become my instant favorite since getting him yesterday. He leaves a path of complete eradication in his wake, leaving patches of bone white rockface streaked across previously GHA - infested LR. He erases any algae that settles, and he's also kind enough to carry a small patch of ulva into my tank. Time will tell if it spreads.

Also, he works fast... far faster than my astrea snails. A few square inches in the first night, and I'm hoping he'd keep up the performance. I'm getting a Halloween urchin tomorrow to boost the arsenal.

I love all the creepy crawlies better than fish honestly. During the day, I my favorite to watch are conches - little fighting conches with the cutest beady eyes, and my strawberry conches are always mating and laying eggs. At night though, I love putting in an algae pellet and watching the decorator crab emerge to grab it. He moves like a very slow stalker of algae.
