night time creatures

[harryhood]

Hello,

I have a couple of shrimp that I only see at night after my "moonlights" come on. After awhile, they are crusing all over the reef. Also, at night, snails get a lot more active.

What other creatures are more active at night? I enjoy watching the night-time activity and would like to see more.

Any recommendations?

Worms. They tend to come out of the rocks at night.

Porcelain crabs (and I would guess most crabs) seem to be more active at night in terms of moving around the tank.

Flame cardinals hunt at night, they are also active in the daytime after a few weeks in the new tank. They are not compatible with shrimps, IME.

All sorts of worms, crabs, brittle stars, BRISTLEWORMS galore! Amphipods. Also a good time to spot stuff you don't want like aptasia and majano. IME they get bigger at night.
