oh i really want a frogfish now! Im thinking about turning my 20 litre tropical into salt and just having a frogfish in there! I know they dont move much but would that be too small?
I Have Two Words MANTIS SHRIMP !!!!! They are awesome and so dangerous to everything else they need thier own tank.
I agree, that's a badass invert!

30 lbs Fiji LR. More to come after the cycle :-P
OK now, I'm going to dispel one urban legend about the mantis shrimp. While it has been shown that they can break glass, only the larger species are capable of doing such a thing and the glass has to be mighty thin for it to break it.
Hey Eli ,Thank you so much for proving my original point Karma to you .

Oh, my wife would love that! Half the stuff she picks out (and I decline) is deadly. If she had her druthers my tank would be Mutual of Omaha's wild kingdom every night. She wanted a blue ringed octopus and I told her, fine, then you're sticking your hand in there to move stuff. lol Once I told her about the venom she let the issue rest.

If you are looking for something different and neat, try a decorator crab. They attach various things on their body for camoflauge. He would cover himself in zoas, sponge, shells, etc. You could put colorful items in to let him choose from. Would work great for a species tank, but was stealing lots of money in coral.
