Another 55g Update. The Cleanup Crew arrives! (PICTURE INTENSIVE)

[TomV]

Hello Folks!

My clean up crew with extras arrived today!

So, time for an update!

The first two pics are of the different types of crabs I got, an emerald and a Sally Lightfoot. The Sally was a special order and wasn't included with the cleaner package. The third pic is of a Condy I bought a week ago. It seems to be doing so completely well! It has a healthy appetite, too--everything in the tank does!

First, one of the three Emerald Crabs I got.

Here's my Sally Lightfoot--named 'Dancer' for what it does on the sand alot.

Here's my Condy I got from a LFS a week ago. (Yes, I know it was way to early to add an Anemone by traditional thinking...)

Finally, here's some of the snails I got. Astraea or "Turbo Snails'.

I got some Hermits as well. I also got a Peppermint Shrimp and a Sand Sifting Star. But, they took off before I could photo them. The star buried itself happily in the sand!

So, let me know what you all think!

Congrats on the additions! The tank is coming together nicely! Love the pics. Keep an eye on your sandbed fauna. The sand sifting star may decimate it, so you might have to restock with sandbed critters from time to time to keep the star fed.

Love the shot of the emerald crab tom, glad to see you are getting this project underway.
