Just got home from work, got these in the mail from Richard's shellsImage boiled then and put them in. Penny(yeti) came out of the moss pit, Dixon(who apparently got into a way too small green turbo while I was gone) is out and about and hey, Persephone(baby biz) is finally awake and it of hiding. I want to put the sea urchin in but don't know if I should boil it first or not

Nami was being cute and scaling the top of the tank.

Image

Then there was this guy (unnamed) being a creeper and peeking out at me from behind the log (the bright exposure was the only way to be able to see him).

Image

Nami is going to be the death of me with that cute face of hers.

Looks like they are all in matching shells, how do you tell them apart

They sure are! I got them a week ago and I love them to pieces :)

They are actually easy to tell apart personality-wise, and even then Nami is noticeably smaller than the other one so it's not too hard to tell :)
