The ultimate invert show off thread

I’m a big fan of Pom Pom crabs. I have two in my tank and one almost always has eggs. Haven’t found any baby Pom poms yet (and I probably won’t because I’m not planning any special breeding tank for them)

Ooh these are so cool, I just have one. How many are in the Pico?
There are five in there, they live with a blue leg and some snails. Here's the whole system, I'm still working on filling it coral wise but they are very active dancing around all over the tank.

Oooh awesome, do you have a build thread for the tank? I've always wanted to diy a little Pico. How many gallons?

I do, it was a long time thought for me as well. It's a fun little tank still in the initial phases but breaking in pretty nicely. This is two gallons total but 1.75 true, you'd think the rock would take more but it's all fake and hollow, I cheated ;)

Lol ok I know this thread, it's actually saved in my bookmarks because I thought I might use the pvc rock attached to the bulkhead idea one day!

OK sorry for the thread hijack, back to the weird inverts!

That guy looks so cool, how big is he? Is that a hermit on top of him?

What do you feed them... They look vibrant in the pics.
 
What type of urchin is that? I am sort of an urchin addict ;Snaphappy does he carry around any frags?

He's a Blue Tuxedo Urchin and definitely one of my favorite guys in the tank. I figure it's just a matter of time before I see him wearing a Kenya Tree but he hasn't done it yet. A few days ago I caught him with 11 dwarf ceriths, a regular cerith, and a Florida cerith, all at once! The master of disguise! But his favorite hats have been tufts of green hair algae. No sense of style whatsoever! :p

Nothing! They just catch what they can. I usually just thaw out a cube of frozen food and just pour in in the tank.

They just catch what they can. I try to feed the fish a variety of frozen foods though. Usually it’s a mix of mysis or the nano reef frenzy food.
 
I named mine Dumbo

We called ours Lurch. He's totally our champion algae eater. He'll eat algae that none of the other inverts will touch. No offense to my Mexican Turbo, Gary (you're still a beast, dude), but Lurch is my favorite snail in the tank!
