Over the weekend I got some new tenants for the reef. Some drama...the tank heater was too powerful for the tank and it was yo-yoing the temp from 24 overnight to 29 in the midday. Poor guys, it almost killed the new coral.
This is Xena the xenia coral:
This is José the scarlet legged hermit crab (I have 2, the other one is Jesús and he has pink algae on his shell - he was hiding when I took the photos)
This is what I think is a Trochus snail. This guy is great (I really like snails) - he can bridge across the rocks and he is all over the place. At night he gets on the back wall of the tank where he is safe, but in the light he is slurping stuff off the rock.
This is a bristle worm. He came free with the live rock (and there is a second one and something this looks like sea slug)
This is another hitchhiker...I don't know if it came with the live rock or on the small fragment that the coral is on (I found it on the coral rock). It's a cool little starfish. There are 2 of these, this is the big one, the other one is tiny, about 4 mmm across!
