I dig the tuxedo urchin. he's always in a new, random place doing something or another. its kinda fun to look up & down trying to find him and then seeing it in the whackiest spot you can imagine.

My emerald crab is pretty funny too. he's out about half the time and he always seems like he's scheming.

I love looking at hermit crabs. They are always chugging along and looking for food.

My new pytho crab is crazy. He moves the frag plugs through the sand, and he buries himself by picking up each grain of sand and balances it on his head.

Crabs, bristle worms, snails. Love em all.

I loved watching my emerald crab until he decided he liked eating my duncan.

I have a Sally light foot crab and a cleaner shrimp. They’re both fun to watch. I want other inverts too but just ain’t got em yet.

Glue everything down like a times-square bodega, and get an urchin..... you won’t regret it.

My Elysia crispata seaslugs. Those 2 are everywhere. Always reaching for the next piece of macro. I'm hoping to get a video of them eating on day. Had them for over a year now never saw them eat. I know they are because they would start shriveling up in about 3 months otherwise.

They are the last 2 of somewhere between 15-17 of a brood. I believe I lost most of to at least one predatory bristle worm and possibly Mg poisoning. I know Mg above 1500 ppm can be toxic to snails so I'm guessing the same is true for seaslugs.

Their parent was the largest I'd ever seen. The body was about as big around as a finger, larger if you take the ruffly parapoidia into account. Just got the one, but it was preggers. Wife saw the egg spiral and about a month later tiny little E.crispatas started popping up. I'm considering doing a species tank around them.

My pistol shrimp is fun to watch. When my coral banded shrimp and arrow crab cross paths that’s always interesting too...

My fighting conch is a blast. Normally he is at the bottom of the tank, under the sand and all you can see are his eyes and his trunk because he can't be bothered to actually move from where he is lol.

And when he does decide to wander around, he gets in places that I would not expect. I have seriously seen him somehow climb to right under the highest rock of my tank, as well as seen him climb another rock on it's nearly vertical side, despite it being three times higher then he is long.

And it is always funny to watch him get angry at something and send it flying, usually one of my hermits or my turbo snail. I walked out of my room one morning on my wait out to go to work, and all I see is something being flung from one end of the tank to the other. It was Turbo. I had to dip my arm in real quick to flip him over because he landed on his back out of reach of any surface that he could grab onto to fix himself. All because he climbed on top of Jean-Conch Van Damme over here.

My conch and this huge crab, not sure what kind of crab he is but he's rather large. Dude can make a lap around my tank in about 2-3 minutes.

I used to love watching my pistol shrimp and my watchmen goby before my shrimp died.

He’s always lurking

100% cleaner shrimp. He is always trying to tidy up my fish and chases after my hand/pipets in the tank. I always picture him with a french accent like in Finding Nemo.

I really like urchins and cleaner shrimp. This pincushion is softball size and this shrimp is almost as long as my finger. I'm on the lookout for a zebra turbo snail.
