tank invaders

[genuck]

i always enjoy the things that 'pop up' well usually. here are some of my favorites so far

 

now don't get scared, they've been on very good behavior.

 

these showed up a few months ago. the largest one is about the size of a quarter but most are the size of red hots. and after drying out several i concluded that they only eat algae so can stay.

 

 

 

 

and here's the mother of all bristleworms! she's so cute! her face reminds me of a little squished face persian kitty. also very well behaved, cleans up missed food really well. funny this is the only one that's this big. do you think she eats the little ones? shown with redhead goby for size reference (she's actually wider, just stretching out to climb over that big rock)

Nice pics, interesting critters! I, too, like to give volunteers as much benefit of the doubt as possible. The stars, in particular, will be easy to remove if they ever "go bad." Meanwhile, enjoy them!

 

And bristleworms are fascinating! If they weren't hitchers we'd appreciate them a lot more.
