Dude, you need to clean that tank. Nice shot. It looks like that took some doing to get it.

@Gary: Scooping them up is the hard part. I used an eye dropper to get him on the glass slide, and then I used a small piece of paper towel to absorb some of the water so I could get him to hold still enough for a shot.

Good work. What is it? Does it occur naturally or do you add it?

@Gary: These came as hitch-hikers when I added the sand and rock, but you can purchase them. In fact, half the fun of owning a saltwater tank, is discovering all the creatures you "didn't" buy.
