I got one extra bristle worm in my order of 6. So totally worth the $$, guys.  But now I'm rethinking whether I want to add them cuz they look gross. Lol.

Nope. Don't like them. I accept them for tank duties enough to not catch all of them. I wouldn't add all 7 though. Bleeeeeeh.

First of the Hawaiian CUC to go in!  This cute hermit!

I don't know why I'm so excited about a CUC, but I am.  Haha.

 

I think it may be overkill, but I may post a photo breakdown of what I got after I'm done acclimating everything.

The Hawaiian CUC is in!  Phew.  That took a lot of work.  LOTS of extras.  Here's the breakdown! 

 

Nerites and super freakin' cute hermits with chubby claws.  I put 2 of each in the pico (rest in my janky tank).

IMG_20190508_203031_371.thumb.jpg.b3974a8d274fc4faa1b8f83a04a3cfae.jpg

 

Strombus snails.  I put 2 in the pico.

IMG_20190508_203341_613.thumb.jpg.bb004f20384d37dc82b5c698df9c6ca3.jpg

 

Trochus snails.  I put 1 in the pico.

IMG_20190508_203655_320.thumb.jpg.7be4e5ab584c84547ff3cb07bb86c4ad.jpg

 

Micro brittle stars.  I put 5 in the pico.

IMG_20190508_205857_480.thumb.jpg.8b985af335c1ad5e3abb6e89b19611fb.jpg

 

Tons of Gracilaria parvispora (red ogo).  Probably make a salad with this cuz I don't think it's going to end up in the pico.

IMG_20190508_211244_120.thumb.jpg.2238cf9ff172bb7e858198fd990ee58c.jpg

 

Not pictured: 7 bristle worms that I have not yet decided what to do with.  🤔  Oh, and the toadstool which is still adjusting to my tank.

 

Overall, I'm VERY happy with this order.  Would I do it again for a pico tank?  No way.  LOL.  All of this for a pico is just too expensive and too much extra work having to deal with all the extras.  Need to find homes for the rest now.  🤦‍♂️

Still settling in, but here's the freebie pico-sized toadstool that came with my CUC order.  Perfect for the pico!

I think Ive been there before when I used to live in SD, was it in smaller gray commercial buildings? 

What LFS isn't in a small gray commercial building? :Lol:

 

Also, @Tigahboy sorry, toadstools don't occur in Hawaii. Wait. How did they get a toadstool? I thought you couldn't import any coral (even softies) that aren't native.. 🤔 I want a toadstool!

Well, it technically came from Hawaii; even if they aren't native to Hawaii.  I'm sure that the mother colony was imported many years/generations ago, and has been propagated numerous times since then.  Plus, their facility pumps in water from the ocean.  I'm sure that it's pretty chill. :wink:

 

But on a side note.  Leathers can release toxins that may affect other corals.  Usually running activated carbon is advisable to remove these chemicals.

Lol.  I'm assuming they can.  If I can't get rid of these locally, it may come to that (the shipping; not the cutting).

Like I said the other day.  Those worms are what the movie Tremors was based on.  You need a Burt Gummer action figure standing at the tiki hut.

Just try not to touch them.  The bristles can break off in your skin.  Sounds worse than it is, but you still want to avoid it.  That said, I feel they are worth keeping.

Duct tape is a good way of removing them, just make sure to pull it directly off, otherwise you push them in further 😷

Yeah I'm not putting my hands or fingers anywhere near those things.  Gonna suck em out with a turkey baster IF I'm going to add them.

Honestly, they are bigger than I had expected.  I thought they were going to be tiny, skinny baby bristle worms, but they ended up pretty chunky.   Probably around 1" or so.
