I really could do without any of that stuff. When I first got into aquariums as a kid, I had a green skeleton ornament. The skeleton reclined on a rock until his skull filled up with bubbles, then he'd sit up.
I look at those ornaments now and think they're incredibly cheesy. Treasure chests aren't quite that bad, but they're cheesy too. I prefer to have completely natural settings now. But I can understand, from a "general public" point of view, that putting some sort of ornament in there makes good marketing sense. And a treasure chest seems the least obtrusive.
