Down here in south africa we have to get permits and collect our own inverts... We cannot find inverts for sale easily and when we find something good for sale it generally very expensive.We only get local stuff

Second pic is a stock photo since i haven't taken any pics yet. Third is Tamatoa the marine giant hermit crab!

 

[Sharir]

That's the largest hermit I have ever seen... How many inches is he

 

[Sharir]

Do you feed your sea cucumber anything?

 

[xxkenny90xx]

The first cucumber just sifts sand for food, the second is a filter feeder and needs to be fed phyto.

Tamatoas shell is about 8" long, he's a beast!

Marginella snails reproduce in my tank; here’s a baby!

Now the big question... How much did he cost?

 

[xxkenny90xx]

$60! The main thing is that you can't put anything in the tank that your attached to. He eats fish, coral, other crabs, throws sand everywhere, he's a total monster. Even goes after my hand sometimes

I think that if you can get critters to reproduce in your tank that is a sure fire way to tell that your tank is mature and stable... Creatures follow the following life processes:finding food, finding shelter and breeding. Once you get the latter it shows that the creatures in your care are happy and comfortable.

I find that COOL, he must add alot of personality to your tank.
