    I am thinking of buying them online for my 75 gal (check my other threads for inhabitants) If I did buy them, should I get a barnacle blenny too?

    no way. add it to your sig or list them.



    I've had a barnacle on a hermit crab shell for about a year now... it's the only one i'm aware of, but he's pretty neat to watch (when he's in view).
