Your Favorite Invert!?!

okay mine is the Cloridopsis dubia http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/arthropoda/crustacea/malacostraca/eumalacostraca/royslist/species.php?name=c_dubia

whats your favorite and why?

 

I'm partial to deadly Cone Snails, but I'm possibly prejudiced. The deadliest ones are the easiest to keep (Conus geographus and Conus striatus) but the apex mollusc predators are probably the most amazing.

Cheers,

Just cos its so pretty - its a shame its also near inpossible to look after in the home aquarium.

 

My Tiger Pistol Shrimp Bob the builder. This guy is always constructing a burrow somewhere and rearranging my frags. I never know where he and his Goby partners are going to show up next. Really funny to watch and if a hermit gets to close he opens fire they hide in their shells and scurry away as fast as they can after a couple of minutes.

 

haha thats funny. yeah my mantis today was digging and i walked up to the tank and she stopped where she was and dropped the sand and went back into her burrow really slow like she was a 5 year old who knew she had done something wrong. i just laughed really hard!

 

Mine is my electric blue hermit crab... he is one of the first inverts i got and has shed 2 twice now. Every time he does I think the worst that he is dead. Last time I almost threw the shell away I was so upset, but he was still inside and came out the next day.
He does move and knock over my frags, but I always seem to forgive him because he makes me laugh.

 

i love the cleaner shrimp very intresting helps your fish stay healthy one of the few shrimp that stays out in the open for the most part and also will hop on your hand and clean it haha its so funny to watch him do it

 

I have always been intrigued by the Horse Shoe Crab;
