What's the coolest thing(s) in your aquarium?

Post by Scott »

What is the coolest thing(s) that you have in your aquarium now? just wondering what other people consider cool or have some sort of value to them. Any information (where you got it, how much, what you know about it, etc.) that you can provide about it or any information you have about other peoples are appreciated.

I can honestly say that I enjoy, beyond all else, our toadstools... we have 4 different colors/varieties, and six toadstools all total, and three of them are as big as a small plate... I don't think the tank would be whole without 'em.

I'm such a softie for the softies I guess :)

My filter feeding crab (not a porceline, but a petrolishes), never seen one like it. Maybe Karen can post a pic, she got some really good ones of him.

My favorite is the the Scutus I have. I have about 6 of them now and still multiplying. The biggest is about 3-1/2" long.

I've had to give it some thought but my favorite is a Echinophyllia that I got from Ken (Nepthea) a few months ago. The reasons are the color, easy to keep and they aren't too common.

Was my Sohal until day day before yesterday, but dead Sohals floating around the tank just lack the coolness factor that the live ones have.

I'm really proud of my white tube anemone. Mainly because I caught it. I value thing I catch more than thing I buy out of the stores because of the challenge of catching it. That is why I got into the hobby in the first place so I could catch stuff while diving. I never intended to have a reef tank that is just how it worked out. Now i'm worried that the thing I catch might hurt the things that I bought. That okay because it give me another challenge. I can't wait until I can go diving again.

Hey Jeff

Where did you get those from? I would like to find me one. They look cool.
