Looking for a peculiar creature to hangout with you tankside? Get a Squat Lobster! These crustaceans like to hide among the rockwork and coral, filter-feeding as water goes by. If they see an opportunity, they’ll also scavenge on leftover fallen food. They only get to be about 1-2 inches in size, making for a suitable addition to the nano-reef.
