Consider stocking at least a few representatives from each of the following groups: Sponges — many
types, shapes, sizes and
colors Zoanthids — colonial anemones (some can be harmful to true
corals) Anemones — short tentacle, long tentacle and carpet Corallimorphs — mushroom anemones, Ricordea, Discosoma and elephant - ear Cerianthids — tube - dwelling anemones Mollusks (with and without shell)-- sea slugs, sea hares, nudibranches, turbo snails and many
types of living shells and clams Cephalopods — octopus and cuttlefish Worms — feather dusters Arthropods — crabs, hermit crabs, shrimp and lobsters Echinoderms — sea urchins, sea cucumbers, sea stars (starfish), serpent stars and brittle stars.
Admire diverse shapes and
colors of
coral, and diverse marine life, among which you can appreciate different
types of fish.
While
corals are living animals themselves, they survive by maintaining a symbiotic relationship with certain
types of algae, which actually live inside the
corals and are responsible for their brilliant
colors.
