Supporting cast

I'm busy chasing amorous snails and spinny young 'uns. Meanwhile, here are a few more co-operative tank residents:

The only crab in the aquarium at the moment. She doesn't seem to mind.

Val, the big burrowing anemone. The other anemones, the little haliplanella lineatas, clone themselves constantly; she doesn't. She's a loner.

A few tiny acorn barnacles. The snails have eaten all their larger relatives.

    I loved your story of the hermits in the mail; that was quite a trip for them!

  5. Crabs are most philosophical about solitude. Lobsters are gregarious.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.

Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
