Mine are my 2 harlequin shrimp!
Some recent photos of my 54 corner. The corals and clams are growing like crazy. The SPS frags were 1/2 inch tall when I bought them, but they have no color at all.

welcome to the corner forum joey, a beautiful tank you have as well, half the lounge will be on this thread soon:lol: your tank is very very nice, i always ask new posters here to show a pic of their sump if they have 1, as its such a nightmare to fit them under a corner
I have no sump. I use a Remora skimmer, a HOB Magnum cartridge filter for carbon and two modded Tunze Nano pumps for circulation. I add B-Ionic two-part calcium/alk solutions daily and feed flakes.
The clam on the left was about 2.5 inches long when I bought it. It's now approaching 9 inches fully extended. The smaller blue clam was one inch long. It's now 3.5 inches.

By the way, I am trying an experiment in caulerpa control in a 54. This pernicious weed was never my choice. It came with my rocks, it survived a move and accidental rock cooking that killed everything else but one aiptasia---and it is nasty!
So, after scouring Foster/Smith's very good critter descriptions, I lit on a sea hare as a possible caulerpa eater. Mr Kumagoro is about the size of a golf ball, and while they look quite disgusting in pix, they are cute to the max in motions and habit. I cannot swear whether he is doing anything about the plague, but he is pooping and he is buried in a bad patch caulerpa all day and night. I can't figure out where his mouth is---but in a tank with mostly gobies and no notable aggressors, he's been quite serenely at his job, and the fish do not seem remotely interested in bothering him. As you may know, they ink like an octopus if stressed, and allegedly puff up and fly about on the current like a 'nem when deciding to travel, so you do need to block any potential exits and shield any intakes, but so far he is a good citizen and far from causing any problem. Stand by for more on the sea rabbit, as soon as I find out if he's actually eating the stuff.

thats exactly what i was going to say as well
hope the doc has read the whole thread, theres some really great corners on here, and doc, we are not all as lucky as sk8r when it comes to space, im very jealous of her set up and the space in the basement, thanks for your pics, its a great tank, although im suprised 2 modded tumzes do the job
Thanks Michael & Phish Guy!
Glad you like the harlquins they are my fav but my fiance hates it when I bring home pretty starfish for them.

My top-off procedure consists of replacing a couple of gallons of RO/DI water every two-three days and B-Ionic supplements. The tank is about as simple as it can be.
Hey Phish Guy
Yeah they are in the disply tank, I don't see them everyday though. Usually when they are hungry they go arround the tank looking for rogue astrea stars I threw in or a more substancial meal.
