Inverts

[jsolomon]

What is classified as an invert? Right now I have a coral banded shrimp, a decorator crab, and 3 hermits. Would any of these be considered inverts, and if so which ones? Thanks.

 

[ebeckels]

yes all of them.

Yes, all the animals you listed are invertebrates. Animals classified as invertebrates are those which do not have a backbone or vertebral column. Invertebrates are not just the exoskeleton animals..take the squid for example.

also anemones, starfish, and soft corals are inverts...

Very funny fshhub,
Although I still don't see the connection with the timing, or whatever LOL ...
When I read Marine Fanatic's reply "Animals classified as invertebrates are those which do not have a backbone or vertebral column." I immediately thought of my new boss at work.
He's a real "stand up guy" NOT !!
Sorry for getting off topic - was late and I was getting a little punchy
Later

broomer,
i was referring to the fact that you just became a shark here recently, that was what i meant by timing, and i figured either you were kidding or were not referring to sammy, that's all

Gotcha fshhub !!!!
That is funny
I'd say that admin is my boss here - and the other sharks can certainly suggest to admin to "pull the plug' on me and hand me my walk'n papers if they see fit <img src="graemlins//eek.gif" border="0" alt="[eek]" />
Yeah I was just a little loopy last night, it popped into my head for some reason ... was just kidding
See ya !
