What's that in your bed?

[daveverdo]

Just curious what type of things everyone has creeping around in the their sandbed.

I have a few Nassarius Snails and a few Ceriths but that is about it that more in the sand.

All my worms and pods seem to have disappeared over the last two years. I don't even see a lot in my sump anymore.

I had a Fighting Conch that just didn't make it. Lasted about a year.

My Diamond Goby was a jumper and found him fried under the lights.


Anyone have cleaner clams?

Everyone thought I had too much sand.. and wondered why I originally used pegs with my aquascape. Here is why..

I was blessed with this "little guy" . He needed a home. Healthy ,eats alot , he is going in my basement sump when I finally get to that project.

sand dwellers in my aquarium would include thousands of tiny mini brittle stars, sandbed worms and pods.

Along with the usual CUC (Scarlet Hermits, Astrea/Nassarius Snails, Tigertail Cucumber) I've got a Conch. He earns his keep every single day, essential to my aquarium!

I LOVE my conch - those googly eye-balls, and that trunk!
I also have 2 small nassarius snails, 3 cerith snails (I'll list the other snails even though they're not sand bed critters), 2 bumble bee snails, 5 astrea snails, and several hitchhiking stomatellas. Oh yeah - and an urchin. Mostly he just picks stuff up and puts it back down in the wrong place.
However, I would say the work pretty much gets divided between the conch, and the YWG, shrimp combo - those guys are not messing around! They get the sand sifted!

add a ton of brittle stars to my equation....
