Brittlestars are great and can squeeze into the tiniest areas.

What did you end up getting for the new tank?

This sausage-shaped sea cucumber moves slowly over the sediments, mopping up its dinner. It is not reclusive and may release holothurin toxin if stressed by abnormal physical conditions or if bothered or irritated by hermit crabs,


has anyone had this happen ?
