What do YOU think is the Coolest thing in your tank? Pictures required

[H3rm1tCr@b]

I think urchins are cool so I will say my long spine black sea urchin for my reef tank and include a pic of him.

But the coolest animal I have in a tank I think is my panther crab. I have never seen anyone else with one and his carapace is 3 inches across. i have had him for two years in a 110 gallon community planted tank. Got him when he was just half an inch. I know its not saltwater but he is awesome.

Ah the panther crab... I was considering buying one myself, just don't have the room right now

Bioluminescent organisms living in my tanks. Reason I think this is the coolest thing in tanks is this its not often documented in reef aquariums and often goes unseen or unnoticed. I bet a lot of other reef aquariums out there have Bioluminescent shows going on at night that have never been observed. its not easy to get pictures of these displays as most of it will not be picked up by the camera. Nothing better than sitting down in front of the tanks in the dark watching for flashing lights.

Picture of one of the bioluminescent brittle starfish living in my refugium.

I wonder if you can buy that to put in your tank? I want some!

That’s the best thing about scuba diving at night.

My water.
If I was to pick one fish it would be my foxface he likes to be pet like a dog.
If I were to say one coral it would be my crazy mushroom.

I drop an aluminum nut in my 210 and freak out that everything is gonna die...
@Paul B here with his 40ish(?) year old mature tank is literally like, "Tank, hold my beer" and great success is had for decades
Thanks for sharing

I love my dendros. I’ve got 3 colonies and about 45-50 heads total in my tank and each head feels like an individual anemone. Watching them sting live food and eat it is exhilarating.

 

[DEWreefing]

Need to name him he is cool.

Chalice corals, I’m obsessed with feeding them. Think it’s so cool watching them suck food into their little mouths.

My favorite is between these two(need to get some pics of them eating)

My tsa fruity Pebbles.

It's one of my favorite acros and I cant believe I got a frag of it for a steal.

Unfortunately, it's a tiny frag and my tanks struggling so not pic worthy but hopefully I figure out the issue and it survives.

Not sure it's my absolute favorite but tailspot blennies have always been up there in my book. This one gnaws on the monti undata from time to time but is otherwise pretty awesome.

I love my pincushion urchin! He’s so entertaining and is always carrying something new

I haven't seen purple people eaters in more then 10 years.

Saw them at my LFS earlier this week. Think I will go get 'em.

Love to watch this guy defend his clam dinner.

My almost 8 year old mag nem would have to be mine. 20”+ before it split a few weeks about and about 15-16” now with the split being about 10”. The interaction between it and the clowns, the movement and the color just gets me.

before the split.


After it split.

I love my cucumbers. They're out and about cleaning the sandbed all day long.

I’m torn between my neon green sinulara and my porcelain anemone crab.

My blue spot urchin, hands down. Simple, unique and beautiful.

Looks like a hot dog fell in your tank.
