I'm sure they'll live. They're indestructible.

Can I use you critter pics!!! This is going to be an exciting day..... LOL. There's at least three different worms in that one photo!

Of course! I will post more and will likely need help deciding on if some can stay or need to go.

Omg Omg Omg!!!!!!!!!!!
Crab kinda cute :rolleyes:

I know. I'm calling them thing 1 and thing 2. Too bad I am almost certain they are not reef safe.

You've had your fair share of this mess. Hopefully this will make things better for you.

I hope. I am going ahead and running a qt on my fish so the tank can go fishless just in case a disease is responsible for the deaths but it really started getting me upset pulling fat perfectly healthy looking fish knowing how many were lost to whatever it was. I mean my tang is like an inch wide lol. Hopefully I can succeed after this

 

[Naiad]

As far as reef safe critters, i have pulled 2 red mithrax crabs. A brittle star. Another peanut. Orange limpet. 2 pencil urchins. Think all but the urchins will be going back.

Snails/welks?

 

[Wiz]

Look like whelks to me. Hard to tell though

 

[Naiad]

More crabs

The snail in bottom center looks like a bumble bee

I would agree with you but all the bumble bee snails I have ever seen have had more of a smooth shell with a rounded tip. This one looks ridged with a pointed tip. Also bumble bee snail tend to have a "fatter" shell
I may be wrong because I am just basing this off of the bumble bee snails I have seen.

I think three of them are ancient bumble bees from my old 120 setup.

The one I took the two close ups of is not a bumble. I think three in the cup are. They are very much overgrown with crud though making it hard to determine. I don't think they are native to the gulf so they would have had to come from what was left of my 120s cuc.

You should have seen it before it crashed... [emoji37]. I completely understand why you are so ocd about your tank. Equipment failures are horrible.

Yeah, it is horrible! Even with the OCD things still rocky!:confused:

Once you get it all back up and running ... I have a baby molly for you!!! :p

Do you have ANY snails in your CUC that's not a whelk! It looks like an Engina species family reunion!

I happen to have 13 turbos. 9ish trochus and some cerths [emoji33] . The rest are all questionable lol. My snails really got hammered thanks to the mantis shrimps, crash and who knows what else. I do forsee a new cuc package in my future.
