CorvetteJoe Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 The weirdest/coolest in my tank is my Purple Pincushion Urchin. Here he is with a piece of my good GSP I scraped off the side of the tank glass. He found it and has been carrying it around for a good 2 months now LOL. As long as he has this, he leaves everything else alone. They are doing well being carried around too. Hoonie, I love your tux, if I didnt have my PPC, I'd get a tux. The urchins are just cool little creatures! Link to comment

Maroon Clown Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 hey everybody, i was wondering what you think the minimum aquarium size for a mantis is? thanks Link to comment
MiddReef Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Fuzzy Chitons! Really cool fossil-snails! Check out John Maloney's page for some, they dominate turf algae! Link to comment
opipe73 Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 9 hole abalone and chitons, one of the Chitons is a Hitchhiker about 5 mm long and pink the other is store bought and big and black and white but the abalone is my favorite it practically jumps off the rock to grab the nori I feed him Ooh and pickle (little black hitchiker cucumber) or... The severed arm!!! Muahahaha type of linkia I believe, found it in a LFS LR tank it had 4 tiny nubs where it's growing back the other arms This thread is cool, inverts over fish any day! +1 This thread is cool. Mine is a crazy sally light foot crab. Link to comment
lakshwadeep Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 hey everybody, i was wondering what you think the minimum aquarium size for a mantis is? thanks It depends on the species. Not all can be kept in smaller tanks like picos. Do a search for them, as there are many mantis threads. Link to comment
Hoonie778 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Hoonie, I love your tux, if I didnt have my PPC, I'd get a tux. The urchins are just cool little creatures! Thanks!! I love him too. Colonel Spikeface is soooo funny to watch. He begs for nori in a certain corner, and sometimes he picks us the filter thing and wears it as a hat (see my tank thread for pics) Hilarious!

Jacobnano Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 My bubble shell, it looks like the pic I just haven't taken any pics myself. Link to comment
uwwmatt Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Probably this guy. This guys are pretty weird too. Link to comment
SbCaes Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 My bubble shell, it looks like the pic I just haven't taken any pics myself. Tell me what this is and the care please.... O_O Link to comment
D3monic Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I miss my decorator crab..he was a hitchiker on some LR about a year ago. He was still around when I switched tanks but I havnt seen him in a month or so..no to say hes dead. He was always good at camoflage. Next up is anyone of the crazy woms I got from eunicids-spagetti worms. I got some kind of worm thats a filter feeder it has these long feather looking things it hangs out of the hole.

PBUEHH Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 OMG! how did you get your bubble shell!? Link to comment
Marteen Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Tell me what this is and the care please.... O_O These guys only eat Polychaete Worms (bristle worms). I'd also be interested in where you obtained your Hydatina physis. Link to comment
Jacobnano Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 My local fish store got them from portland. Very cool but they are 35 bucks each. They supposedly eat algae and diatoms. Do some google searches, there are way better resources than me.. They are called bubble shells or bubble snails. Mine is a rose petal bubble shell. Very cool too. They are also relatively big.

thegambler26 Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 whoa that bubble shell is awesome. What exactly is it? A snail or nudibranch? I've never even heard of one in my 4+ years of reefing!! Link to comment
danimal1211 Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Next time I see him do it I'll get pics, but one of my red legged hermits likes to do headstands. I also have a peanut worm. The oddest creature I've seen so far though is my stomatella hitchhiker. he only comes out at nighttime very strange but by far the best grazer in my tank! Link to comment

Haminoea cymbalum are said to eat filamentous algae, but from the picture you posted it looks like you have Hydatina physis which is said to be a specialized feeder eating only cirratulinid polychaete worms or spaghetti worms.

Jacobnano Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I think that it is creature that is in between the two in the evolution of nudibranch to snail. they are very cool and burrow in the sand. I love nudibranchs, but they are all usually very short lived. ^^^^^Ya some eat algea, the green ones, and mine eats the worms lol. Link to comment
ajmckay Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 My coolest invert is probably a tie between the peppermint shrimp and the longspine urchin... I think they're coolest mostly because everyone else likes them and they're intriguing. They're still sometimes a pain the the butt though... The peppermint steals food from the corals all the time and the urchin can take out a quarter sized patch of coralline in about 10 minutes.... They're still cool though. Link to comment
MGDMIRAGE Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Mine would be my Tiger pistol shrimp, he spends all day destroying my tank in a new way, it's great! Link to comment
