What surprises have you discovered in your overflow???

[jmkarcz]

I thought I'd start this thread and see what surprises everyone has found....

I gave this guy up for dead, had no tenticles and was bearly alive, then 12 weeks later found him in my overflow. Look at the improvement...

Then about 3 nights ago, I thought I'd adjust some power cords and found this guy, gave him up for dead 3 weeks ago... was egar to jmp on me hand for a ride out too.

I found some baby turbo snails in the overflow on one of my tanks. One of the snails must have laid eggs near the top of the overflow wall and the babies ended up in there.
Funny thing is each one had different colored or patterned shells.

wow baby turbos? Ive always read they don't breed in the aquarium. Ive had other snails have babies but not turbos. I did find a small weird turbo the other day though that I did'nt buy lol.

Lets see I found my clown dead once He jumped right onto the only part that did'nt have water lol.
I have a skimmer box so not much really goes into mine except 1000 brittle stars.

I did find a turbo in my nano I thought was dead and musta climbed to the back into the pump part.

My male clown keeps jumping into the overflow. I just pull the durso pipe out, & flush him into the sump. Then he swim into the net for a family reunion at the main tank.

Found our blenny in the overflow a while back. Thought he had perished, hadn't seen him in about a week. Mike went to clean out the overflow and there he was, alive & kicking! Found him in the sump once too before we had MH and a hood. He jumped out of the main tank and miraculously landed in the sump in back, he was quite lucky!!

Kass,
I wrote "Turbo" snail only as a general name, the parent of the snails I found have a black and white shell with sort of a zebra pattern to them. The babies all have different looking shells from one another, some more black than others.
P.S. I would be interested in some of those brittle stars you mentioned if you want to part with some.
