Day 17

I put in the first of my cleaning crew, I'm starting to get "things" growing and figured they would now have enough to eat. I'm supposed to have 55 cleaner critters (1 per gallon) but WOW, my tank would be full of inverts.


These 2 hermit crabs went right to work on some algea on my rock.



I feel bad for this little hermit crab, one of my snails has latched onto the back of his shell. With the added weight the crab can't move so he just walks in place and is digging a small hole for himself.



Another hermit..



These two snails are in a deadlock embrace, hope they seperate soon!



Odd looking hermit shell
