I'm sorry but are you down with the sickness? lol anyone know were I got that reference?

David Reeby - 6 years ago

HAHA!! totally agree on the Sally Lightfoot crabs. they are so cool looking and i love watching them run out and snatch food from the water column during feeding, the best crab in my opinion.

Desirée Rodríguez - 6 years ago

no star fish?!! can all the invertebrates mention here live in the same tank!??

I love your top # videos. What about halloween hermits or a blood\fire shrimp? Scarlet hermits are my fav hermit for a cuc at $5 a pop they can get expensive. Love the hobby and thanks for these videos

Mad Hatter's Reef - 6 years ago

Halloween hermit crabs are awesome but I've never had them to speak to it. Thanks for watching!

Daniel Smith - 6 years ago

Sally lightfooted crabs are very active hunters in the aquarium. Of fish and inverts. Usually the most expensive fish and inverts.

Thanks for sharing

David Medford - 6 years ago

I am torn on the Sally Lightfoot I have had them b4 and love the activity and personality of them until they get large and started attacking and killing my fish...but loved them for about 2 years before they did

Mad Hatter's Reef - 6 years ago

They are awesome but do need to be removed at that point.

Did you mean Trochus snails? The Astrea turbos I had couldn't right themselves at all

Mad Hatter's Reef - 6 years ago

You must of had some special ones.

Michael Machalk - 6 years ago

Great video Can you put the lettuce nubi with the blue leg hermits

Mad Hatter's Reef - 6 years ago

Thanks for stoping by Gil!

Sally Lightfoot Crabs are technically not reef safe. They've been known to snatch up small fish and are pretty agressive.

Brian Goldstein - 6 years ago

caught a blue legged hermit eating my elegance coral; some of them can be extremely fiesty.. will never buy one again.

Mad Hatter's Reef - 6 years ago

Interesting I've never heard of that.

Billy Pipes - 6 years ago

Mad Hatter's Reef lol. LOOK BEHIND YOU!!!

Mad Hatter's Reef - 6 years ago

Billy Pipes laying on the couch???? that’s a little specific. You got my house tapped?

Shawn McCall - 6 years ago

Great list! Sponges definitely help out... and sometimes decorator crabs can help farm you sponge.. If you get a chance, check out my videos on a recent decorator crab experience. https://youtu.be/VR_mSzl7oPI

Mad Hatter's Reef - 6 years ago

Will do.

CUBAN REEFER - 6 years ago

Definitely am adding that Sally t my tank

Mad Hatter's Reef - 6 years ago

I love mine.

CUBAN REEFER - 6 years ago

Definitely love that cleaner shrimp ( I have 5 in my 175) also the green crab but mine is red is the same right?

Mad Hatter's Reef - 6 years ago

its a variations of it.

CUBAN REEFER - 6 years ago

The red sponge does need to be taken to deep rx for pest and it can be place anywhere

Mad Hatter's Reef - 6 years ago

Check out this video on adding sponges: https://youtu.be/b7C8dQ4qk4k

Happy to support the channel.

Mad Hatter's Reef - 6 years ago

Thanks man!

Average Reef - 6 years ago

Interesting list although its kinda all over as far as ornamental and functional. I'm not a fan of hermits but I never would have thought of including sponge. Over time you should get all kinds just by accident. btw that's cool your mom is a reefer too!

Mad Hatter's Reef - 6 years ago

She does her best... It makes it easy for Mother's Day! Thanks for watching

2000zx2 - 6 years ago

Now I am in an elite class since Fish of Hex is a patreon too lol.

Mad Hatter's Reef - 6 years ago

Thanks for your support Brian!

Mad Hatter's Reef - 6 years ago

Thanks Rico!

jerry ebner - 6 years ago

why do my snails get out of the tank ? I test the water and its in check ?

jerry ebner - 6 years ago

Trouble is they end up on the floor dead from time to time, not every day. Just every once in a while.

Tyler's Reef - 6 years ago

Most snails we keep live in intertidal zones so they are used to climbing up and out of the water and going from pool to pool.

Nadi Mian - 6 years ago

Thanks a lot bro ,,, for fulfilling my wish and you made it on my request

Mad Hatter's Reef - 6 years ago

You're very welcome!
