Inverts that will never be put in my tank again

[daniella3d]

I recently found a little hichicker crab on a frag and decided to keep it. Glad I did because he does not toutch anything in my tank and he's so cute. come to take the food from my hand.

Hope I will not regret that eventualy! I just could not kill it.

My biggest regret was a red reef lobster. He would attack any fish that swam by the cave he lived in. Gave it to a freind and it started eating his fish. He disposed of it and I never asked how.

I have also seen my emerald crab picking at SPS polyps... I gave him "the look" and he cut it out

I have 3 very small blue leg hermits living in my 2gallon frag tank. They have never once touched a coral besides by accedent tipping one over. One of them LOVES riding around on my banded trochus snail because that way he can clean the algae off the snails shell and get to the top of the tank. I also have many very small snails in the tank that the hermits just ignore since I have many already empty shells for them to move into.

Hermits are great for cleaning the sand in new tanks

interesting to see this thread getting more play again, so i will add another never again to the list..

bumblebee shrimp.... yes very small and cute but they eat the tubular feet of any and all starfish urchins etc...

I have three of these and don't mind them just make sure everything is glued down. They are great algae eaters.

My urchin eats soft corals: toadstools, Xenia, anthelia and his favorite is zoas. Must feed him nori every couple days or he will eat everything...
