What are your favorite inverts to watch in your tank?

Harlequin Shrimp. They are so unique, and pretty!

My fighting conch is by far my favorite particularly if he is cruising around near or on the bottom of the glass. Really anytime I can see his eyes out he is fun to watch.

My tank is 2 months old, so I only have a two Astraea and I always look for them when I get home.

after thinking long and hard (which usually gets me into trouble), i'd have to say that my cucumbers are the most fascinating to me ... partly cuz they strike me as so primeval (think ancient precambrian seas). i have a tiger tail and a black sea cucumber. i get a little mesmerized watching them sift sand into their mouths.

i'd love to get an emperor shrimp some time in the future to pair up with either of them.

my sea hair and lettuce sea slugs are close seconds.

My bonded pair of cleaner shrimp.

Micro brittle stars or my Halloween crab. Love that little Halloween, do peaceful. He does grab snails or crabs and hold them while picking at the algae on the shells.

Anemones are my favorite, but for more "live" for lack of a better word, creatures, I like watching my Green Brittle Star most, I named it Davy Jones LOL. I like how mine uses rocks to climb the glass, looks really cool IMO. My third favorite is my diamond goby as its fun to watch it build its forts.

here are the original “acclimation photos” the day i received both cukes (at the end of may this year). i’ll have to get a close-up pic of them feeding.

On the rare occasion I see it my blood shrimp

 

[Phycodurus]

Harlequin Shrimp taking down a star...sorry no pics

 

[Jeeperz]

My yellow watchman goby when my evil tailspot tries to bully him. Opens his mouth as wide as it goes to defend himself.

My Ritteri Anemone is by far my favorite invert I’m my reef. When I first bought it, it was snow white and the size of a golf ball , now look at this beauty!!!

Got pictures of the slugs and hare? Huge fan of them. I got an E.crispata over a year ago. It was the biggest I'd ever seen. I month after being in my tank my wife saw eggs it had laid. The seaslug was the size of one of my fingers. I got 15 babies at least. Only 2 are left now and are about 2+ inches long. I went to the same place I bought the parent from last week and they now have 3 E.crispatas each the size of a pickle! Never knew they could get that big.

Now looking into the velvet nudibrach C.varians. I have an extensive red flatworm population that I intentionally am not getting rid of so I can effectively keep one.
