Invert Show-Off Thread!

Lets see all those awesome inverts out there! I'll start it off here with a few of my personal favorites in my tank.

Harlequin Shrimp (my favorite of course)

Scarlet Reef Hermit

Porcelain Crab

Monster 1' diameter brittle star (ended up getting rid of this guy)

Palaemon Serenus. I catch them locally and can catch literally thousands in the right conditions. There's a nassarius snail in the second pic and if you look closely enough you'll see a small goby in there too! :)

one of my Halloween hermits because they are orange which is a great color in a reef. Nerite snails hanging on an Astraea nerites are my favorite snails for cleaning the tank glass. banded Trochus snails are my favorite for rock work but I do not have a good pic. and lastly, my Tiger Sand conchs. these are easily my favorite invert in a reef. Reasons are, they clean everything they can reach well. Recently found out they eat dinoflagellates which I don't think many people know. But they helped my tank tremendously. They stir the sand bed. And they are extremely comical to watch and look at. Definitely a grade a cleaning crew member.

I am sort of obsessed with inverts, I love them and find them just fascinating and amazing. And I love taking their photos! I will try not to put too many photos.

I love my Pom pom crab, I've often considered buying another 10 gallon and doing a species only tank with a bunch of them because mine hides so well in my display. I would try to attach a picture but its not letting me :(
