Something weird or out of the ordinary

[duke62]

Tank is getting kinda boring lol What creature reef safe can I add in the tank that is out of the ordinary. Could be a fish, crab, shrimp any weird invert. Would like to see something other then fish and coral. Nothing that if it don't live wipes out the tank though

sea cucumber? sand sifting stars? halloween hermits? your hand creating hurricane like forces to break stuff and then let it grow in...would be cool to see random little colonies pop up

I always like to add Shrimp, like Cleaner shrimp, as they're pretty interesting to look at and they move around the tank a lot, and some will even clean fish. You could always add a Mantis shrimp, as they're really interesting, but they will kill most of your fish.

How weird and out of the ordinary do you want to get?

This is why I started adding the " with caution" fish like large Angels, wrasses and butterflies.

My 2 engineer gobys r really cool they built a big den under my main rock pile with a bunch of off shoots that pop them up in different parts the tank

Seems like all the same stuff I want crazy looking. All the real cool creatures are sold in the hundreds if not thousands. What about dwarf horseshoe crab or a crazy looking pipefish

Dwarf Golden hawian moray

+1 on the eel.
I have a thornback/helmet cowfish.
Very interesting and something a little different.

 

[OUT TO SEA]

A fancy red serpent sea star. My grand kids are small and think it's an octopus. It roams around the rocks and comes out at feeding.

Fish-wise, I have swissguard basslets and I just love them. Pretty hard to find (unless you are looking online every single day), and really cool.

Interesting and strange-looking shrimps: harlequins.

Mesmerizing but super hard to keep creatures: crinoids! (even better with the squat lobsters living in their branches)

Is this crazy looking enough?
