sounds like diatoms...although cyano bacteria (initially) could look like dust too. Anyways - i'm with cmsurfr - post a pic and we'll know for sure.

pics...these are the derasas? At 9 inches (assuming a deresa) they no longer use their threads to stay on - but their sheer weight. Look up amphipods - you sure that wasn't the "black bugs"? Sorry - I know you're not big on names and such so forgive me if I'm asking basic questions.

sometimes LR will bring with it some hitchers...this is typical of say LR from the gulf of mexico - where they use the fact that it's shipped in water as a differentiator from LR shipped wet/newspaper from the pacific. I've even seen some lucky folks get hitchers from LR purchased from an...

good luck with the two tangs in a 55. It's not ideal but hopefully they are of the smaller size. Be warned -the two are magnificent to look at but can overwhelm a 55. Maybe your tank is aquascaped adequately but most people just have pile of rocks and barely any room for the fish to swim. Also...

diatoms SHOULD disappear. I didn't like waiting since it was getting all nasty so I siphoned what I could and added two snails. The hair algae is problematic. If you can remove the rock - it'll be easier to scrub the algae off or leave it in the dark (with a small powerhead).

great pics. Honestly i don't know. It fits the description of a carribean pink tip anemone. But I'm not sure.

that stand is amazing....really nice workmanship. that is some hair algae on that top rock and the brown stuff is all diatoms. The rock with hair algae - you might want to pull that out and place in a bucket with no lights. Also while your tank is cycling you should not light up the T5s (my...

oh d'oh! well hope you had a good time! ;D

It's still there? if i had a big fowlr tank that would be "the fish" in my tank that would make people stop and gawk and say - what is that?

The white color is what is troublesome to me. In the wild, anemones are not all white and it's a sign of an animal that has lost all of it's symbiotic algae. When you touch the tentacles - are they "sticky"? sticky tentacles are a good sign of some health in the anemone. Of course it helps to...

AO had a BEAUTIFUL harlequin tusk which would have been perfect as a show-size specimen in a 180. But if I had a 180 fowlr - I'd go the eel route and complement the eel with other fish that are (too big for it's mouth) and would not nip my eel's tail. by the way - your post is a tad confusing...

is this your description or what the LFS sold it to you as? good luck with it. It's against my better judgement to encourage new tanks with anemones. Keep an eye on it just like you'd watch your scallop or fish. It is an animal (though your mind may think it's a plant that doesn't move) that...

agree with wendy - that coral looks bleached. I'm not sure of the crabs. All are omnivores and while someone may claim they eat "mucus" - I say if you had the choice between a meaty coral polyp (or the food in the polyp) - versus "mucus" - i would think they choose the seafood buffet.

not like the zero edge you used to have but cool nonetheless!

I had to put on my snuba gear to determine the true identity. ;)

Re: Here's my 120 Awesome to hear! You'll probably have it all set before I get any more fish! lol. Good to see you the other day!
