Like an army of gorilla crabs??? I still feel the good outweighs the bad, but that’s been rough. Your urchin is so cool. I’m about 3 weeks in. I’d be so happy if one pops up!

You got it...every time I change out filter socks I find a new friend or two...there is definitely an army of them!

My favorite was tiny jellyfish! It was pretty cool watching them at night.

You probably mean hydroids.

Gonodactylus Smithii, by virtue of awesomeness.


Siderastrea Radians, by virtue of rarity.

I’m like 6 months in and still trying to kill off all the gorilla crabs! They are mostly big now, but are not falling for the shot glass trick. Our only luck has been spotting and stabbing them! Did you get them all?

Chiton -- never saw a single one for 1.5 years, then one appeared.
Now I have a bunch (somehow).

A golden torch grew out my zoa colony, it’s grown slow and steady but getting size of a golf ball now.
