its a Dirty job but someone has to do it so with out any more delay I present my clean up crew.

First off Ruleing over the Hermit Crabs is Treyon.

Big Bad Treyon, a full 50% bigger then the other Hermit crabs, with Legs of steel and pinchers like a Pneumatic vise.

Yes Big Bad Treyon he rules the other Hermit crabs with an Iron Claw, his word is law in the reef he dines on the choices bits of Algae and forces the other Hermits to live on the sand below while he scurries on the rocks above.

Lorce Eating Up a storm so he can build up his strength and over throw Treyon's Rule.

Biding her time and hoping to one day take over the tank is Smashu, the emerald crab

New to the tank is this Hungry little fellow.

The Pincushion Urchin is a small Urchin that is white and green in color with very sharp protruding spines -- like pins. In Nature, these spines serve as an excellent defense mechanism from predators. These Urchins are nocturnal and do most of their grazing at night. During the day they will usually stay stationary on the aquarium glass, or in hiding spots in rockwork. All Urchins like lots of rockwork that they can crawl and feed on. They are excellent algae eaters.

Urchins belong to a Class known as Echinoidea, which consists of creatures that have a skeleton made of ten plates covered with spines. Urchins have mostly round bodies with protective spines on their upperside and tubular feet and a mouth on the underside. Artistotle once wrote of the five parts of the Urchin's mouth: "In reality the mouth-apparatus of the urchin is continuous from one end to the other, but to outward appearance it is not so, but looks like a horn lantern with the panes of horn left out." This holds true today as the mouth of the Urchin is referred to as "Aristotle's Lantern". The mouth of the Urchin is used to scrape algae from rockwork. The spines of the Urchin are a defense mechanism that are barbed like that of a fish hook and can inflict serious pain to the predator. These spines can either come to a sharp point or can be stubby and blunt.
