New Saltwater Tank Additions

Pyramid Snail, originally uploaded by Geis.

Now that the fish from the Denoviches have grown accustom to the new tank and surrounding, Heather and I decided to add a few hardy invertibrites to the group. We picked up a Pyramid snail which can be seen in the picture attached to this blog; a blue-legged hermit crab which so far has stayed out of the view of the camera; and a Peppermint shrimp which is a tricky photography subject and has eluded me thus far in the taking of a quality shot.

The gameplan was to get a few crawlers to sort of stir up the bottom and eat some of the algae in the tank. Interestingly enough, the shrimp immediately began cleaning the fish in the tank with its long antennae. The black angel-like fish has been seen on a number of occasions to be hanging out within the reach of the shrimp's antennae for a cleaning.

Hopefully more pictures to come.
