I love my strawberry conch! It's my oldest tank inhabitant :)

Not in my tank yet but planned for the new tank: Halloween hermit crab. They’re so cool looking

I love my Skuk cleaner shrimp, always out and about and clean my hands when they are in the water.

My favorite is the Fire/Blood/Scarlet Shrimp even though all mine does is hide on the back of the aquascape all day until feeding time

I've had my current one for 4 years or so now and the previous one I had for 3 or 4 years (didn't survive a big move from Texas to Florida).

Pom pom crab. I only see mine once a month or so and mainly when the lights are out. But they are just so cool looking.

Do you notice that they make a difference in the sand bed. I just bought two and am trying to see if they clean it at all.

Good to hear. I have a diamond goby, cerith snails and nassarius snails too. I would like to keep the area under the sand against the glass cleaner if possible.
