180g Species Tank - Invertebrates

Inverts and Clown Triggers normally do not get along too well.  So my invert selection is limited to things that are necessary and inconspicuous.


Title Date Acquired Notes
Hermit Crab Hermit Crab   A couple of orange legged hermit crabs help keep the filamentous algae under control.  They are so small the Trigger do not even see them.
 

Calcinus elegans

Blue knuckled hermit 

  These hermits are bigger, and absolutely stunning.  They seem to survive rather well, as I have a couple in my 480g tank too. 
 

Turbo spp.

Turbo snail 

  To help keep the micro algae at bay, I have added about 6 Turbo snails.  It seems the trigger got one as it died with no reason, and the trigger was seen lurking nearby.
