Who's Your Favorite Member of Your CUC

[Cyanohater]

I have conchs urchins starfish pistols. But my favorite is gonna have to be my sixline. I know isn't know as much of a cuc, but I've seen him picking at pests and eating algae. Though he is a bit fat he likes to eat my frozen brine.

My avatar, Royal blue tuxedo urchin for the win! Never takes a break from cleaning my rocks.

Got a picture of your urchin?

Sally Lightfoot Crab is very entertaining and “fleet of foot”.

Skip everything small and just get sea urchins. They do the work of at least 2 tangs and 20 hermits.

Do pistol shrimp need sand ? I have a bare bottom and would like one but want him happy too.

I couldn’t imagine one without sand - they spend all day digging.
Would you be able to create a section of the tank that has sand in it?

After watching a video of a pistol take out a cleaner shrimp, I'll stick with the cleaner shrimp.

I did have an idea of a little zen sand garden for him, I like my cleaner more.

Tigers and candy canes are basically blind - they won’t hurt anything.
If I’m thinking of the same video, that was a Japanese pistol (I think) which is one of the nonpairing ones that will hunt shrimp.

My blue legged hermit crab that died recently, who was a cold blooded murderer. His favorite shell was whatever new snail I put in the tank. Didn't matter how many other shells there were on the floor, If he didn't get to rip a corpse out of it, it wasn't worth wearing.

Conches, nassarius vibex (love them coming out the sand zombie style), and trochus snails (when they actually last a bit). Ill get some hate for them but emerald crabs do have a soft spot, but I kept fowlr tanks for years so they were always around.

 

[WestMI-Reefer]

-Hermits are fun to watch
-Torchus snails eat tons of algae and stay active
-I’m considering adding a little 6line wrasse to take out some strange hydroid medusa thats all over one of the tanks but not (knowingly) hurting anyone? Either way, they should go and I think a 6line would love to take care of that.

My Atlantic cucumber, Karl. My sandbed is spotless since he came in my tank.

 

[findingsimple]

Our zombie snails and sammy the sea hare are the family favorites.

Benny the lawnmower blennie is not far behind.

Pitho crab!! Although mine has lost the title of CUC and gained spoiled rotten crab of cuteness. Every time the pumps go off, out of the sand with his little claws waving at me, "Feed me, Morris!" Ok, fine, have some nori.
