some new additions to my tank -- pics

[Pallen81]

Since i last posted I have gotten a few new animals. I got a Pom Pom Crab. He's out all the time but I havent taken a pic just yet.

Pics I do have include Mushrooms and a Pink & Green Cucumber. If you look closely you can see a tiny baby Orange Sun polyp on a shell next to the Mushrooms. Those little polyps are all over the tank. its so cool.

Im still fighting off the cynobacteria on my sand. Its been there for months.

Great new photos, love the 2 fire shrimp. The cucumber doesn't scare you a bit?

I wouldn't be too frightened of that particular cuc grins they are slighlty toxic yes but, they are far less likely to eviserate themselves and nuke your tank. They will likely need to be spot fed from time to time though . I probably would have waited until the tank was a bit more established though but, what is done is done and they will do ok if you give them proper care. From the sounds of it your tank is at least three or four months old so...
Looking good

yes, my tank has been up since april and i work at a fish store so its really hard not to buy cool stuff when it comes in, but I think I do well! hehe.

what would you spot feed the cucumber with? phyto plankton? Cyclop Eeze?

I just tried feeding some Cycop Eeze to my Cucumber and he seemed to eat it. cool!

Thanks Max the Invert Man, it is a very unusual creature so of course I like them. Good to know it is one of the better choices of ones to get.

i agree about the cuc, the toxins that are released are very mild at best, only really causes a problem when these are in a reletivly small aquaria and dump their load..

Great looking inhabitants you have there..
