[danvan75]

[Europhyllia]

Can't wait to get these! I have learned that the pincushions eat even the worst algae like my caulerpa so hopefully this is correct. :)

Interesting stuff! I think I am going to like the Nerites -they're already up and running.
Fingers crossed for the urchins...
Thanks for putting it together and doing all the work :)

[txav8r]

Thanks JT!!

[danvan75]

thanks again JT

[Gseclipse02]

no problem guys

we need to thank john for making it so easy and not making a big deal like other sites about all of us paying our own part and shipping it all to one house:thumbs_up:

[Europhyllia]

Those chitons are cool. One was DOA but the other two are so interesting -they remind me of trilobite fossils.

[HoppyBunny]

Thanks JT and John at reefcleaners.org!

[Gseclipse02]

Thanks JT and John at reefcleaners.org!


thanks for helping me separate the order lol

[SKNR]

Hey thanks JT for putting this together, yes and thanks John for making this order very easy!!

[neogenix]

Seriously, thanks guys!!

[Mr Cob]

Great stuff....I don't think I have ever received so much stuff for just $20 ...saltwater related anyways.

Extremely pleased with this order and will buy more next time. The pencil urchin I got rocks...I'll post a pic up soon.

The Fuzzy Chitons are awesome too. They are stuck together cleaning eachother...lol and my yellow tang is getting in there too.

[txav8r]

No joke! I got a ton of stuff!

[Europhyllia]

Wow. I'd have never figured for you to get a pencil urchin Rob! You're getting pretty adventurous! lol

[Mr Cob]

Wow. I'd have never figured for you to get a pencil urchin Rob! You're getting pretty adventurous! lol


LOL! Well, I think that's what it is. Labeled "Rock Boring Urchins" on their site....but looks like a pencil urchin to me. I'm a dork though and forgot that they can sting and I was holding it and examining it....then later started reading about it and remembered they can sting. Anyone care to chime in on handling experience with these guys...? Do they really sting?

It looks really cool with the algae growth on it's spines.

I love urchins, just haven't had good luck with them staying away from my corals. I don't mind trying them out though because they are easy to remove. I have one from the coast in my sump, he's been there for about 6 months now and just cleans. He was responsible for mowing through some encrusting SPS. I kept him because he's a cool conversation piece when non reefers come over, something they can hold and recognize.

Here's the one I got from this order:

[Europhyllia]

it's beautiful! I've not heard anything about painful stings from pencil urchins. I think that's more longspines, fire urchins and some pin cushions
Hopefully it won't damage your foam like Firewater's urchins.

[txav8r]

You are lucky that thing made it to you, Rob. I was eyeballing it in the car.

Urchin? What urchin?:innocent2:

[Mr Cob]

thx for the reassurance Karin. I'm going to keep a close eye on it...so if it does become a problem I can remove it quickly. Everywhere I look online has conflicting research....some safe reef safe...others say no, some say sting, others say peaceful....etc etc...

Jack....LOL! I was so stoked when i opened it up. I was hoping I didn't get one with sharp spines....if you look at the pic on their site....there seems to be some with really sharp spines.

[txav8r]

I was hoping I didn't get one with sharp spines....if you look at the pic on their site....there seems to be some with really sharp spines.

Yeah... That's what I got. :(

[Mr Cob]

^stick some foam ear plugs on the ends....lol

[Europhyllia]

I got one a few of the pokier ones:
pincushion urchin below
The site said:

"You will have to trust me that these are only nice bright pink, purple, or dark pink colored urchins. Might not look great in the picture, but I am horrible with a camera. Beat the picture I have and I will refund the purchase price of your urchin."I was hoping for a little more noticeable pink than what arrived (the description sounded so pretty!). I am guessing they are tidal since they shipped without water. They haven't moved much so far so I am hoping they'll bounce back pretty soon and start eating! lol
They're pointier than the pencils but I can pick them up by hand. Spines are so short so that helps

[Mr Cob]

Karin...looks awesome....seems to have pink tips?

[txav8r]

Yep! That's the ones I got. Mine was cruising around last night. I think they will be fine.
Karin, I'd say that your picture beats his! Send it to John!!

[Europhyllia]

Karin...looks awesome....seems to have pink tips?
yes this one has light pink tips. the other one is brown/white and one is green/white.
I am worried that they aren't moving still... the biggest one is wiggling a bit.

[Europhyllia]

okay they're moving now -as fast as they can AWAY from my trouble algae! lol

[txav8r]

LOL!! Give 'em some time. Maybe they will start eating it in a day or two.

[Mr Cob]

Glad they came around Karin....now you gotta train them

[txmike]

Thanks JT and John at reefcleaners

The fuzzy chitons are great and love the limpets i think they will now allways be part of my CUC.

[Mr Cob]

I got 2 large ones and now I have like 20 (that i could count) babies just below the surface of my sand on the glass....

I know nothing about these guys but wonder if one was pregnant or had eggs or something. Pretty cool.

[Europhyllia]

the chitons or the limpets?

[Mr Cob]

chitons....I thought they were limpets at first but they look exactly like the chitons....

[Mr Cob]

Quick article with this quote at the bottom:

http://animals.jrank.org/pages/1886/Chitons-Polyplacophora-BEHAVIOR-REPRODUCTION.html

"Depending on the species, females either release their eggs singly or in strings into the water or keep them inside the special groove that separates the girdle and muscular foot. Eggs fertilized in the water usually develop into free-swimming, unsegmented larvae (LAR-vee) covered with tiny, hair-like structures called cilia (SIH-lee-uh). Eggs that develop inside the groove remain with the adult female until they become well-developed young chitons."

[Europhyllia]

very cool! I love the chitons. Mine keep going back to the empty shell they came on in. Amazing that they made it all the way to your sandbed to lay eggs!.
Mine stay very much in one spot, graze well and then return to their sleeping shell :)

LOL my urchin decided he liked that empty shell. He is wearing it like a top hat.

[Europhyllia]

:) Poor homeless chitons! j/k
I am totally intrigued by the chitons -such prehistoric reef bugs!

(how is that pronounced anyway? I say it as if it was French but I bet I am totally wrong)

If somebody did another group buy from them I'd be in for some more Nerites and Chitons. Those were both really great and already hard at work.

[1salt]

I'm in on the next order too...

[tzhanks]

I would be in again as well

[Europhyllia]

Here is a pic of the cute chitons sleeping together in their shell:
http://www.dominopads.com/chitons.jpg

They venture out and graze on algae but they seem to remember their 'shell house' and keep coming back to home base. Pretty weird for little reef bugs right?

[Mr Cob]

That's a sweet pic....we should have a chiton POTM contest.

[Mr Cob]

Here's one of my chitons...cleaning my only clean rock in my tank...LOL!
