Oliver try running some reef safe carbon if you are not doing so. That will help clear up the water.

Boomer thanks for all of your help on identifying these guys for me it's much appreciated! I do have some colonial hydroids in a few spots in my tank. I returned him to my tank, and he is welcome to munch on them all he wants. ;) As long as I don't see either of them do any real damage they just...

You guys are never going to believe this!!! Guess what I found on my Blue Sponge just now? :o

Phyl yes I have Chaeto. Boomer that is 100% IT without a doubt!!!! Thank you so much for the correct ID. That is the perfect match right down to the blue body. Now I wonder if it can survive off of the algae in my tank?

Boomer here is the link I was given on Reef Central with that particular name: http://www.nudipixel.net/photo/00004483/ It could be misnamed, or a mistake, but the pictures sure looks alot like the one I have. Switch someone replied on the thread I started in reef central and said Ercolania...

The scientific name is Ercolania margaritae

Gecko and Boomer while the nudibranch I have looks similar... I do not think it is the Spanish Shawl. The Spanish Shawl has red rhinophores...mine does not. This was posted on Reef Central, and I think to date this is the best ID that matches the nudibranch I have:

^^^ sorry screwed up with some of the names. I meant Switch I'll keep you in mind if I have to get rid of the nudibranch.

Greg I dip for parasites with the corals I get (Lugol's), but I didn't dip this sponge. I don't know if dips are safe for sponges so I didn't dip it. Whitebird/Phyl I was thinking about that myself. The sponge is considerably larger then the nudibranch, so the damage it does in feeding on it...

youpay... no that is not it, but thanks for the link. The nudibranch I have has fluorescent orange raised "feathery plumes" on it...not spots. The rest of the body is a very bright blue like the sponge. Thanks Hawk and naso for the link.

I just picked up a Blue Photosynthetic Sponge (Collospongia sp.), and I found a beautiful nudibranch crawling on it after I acclimated it. I removed the nudibranch from the sponge and isolated it. I know nudis are specialized feeders, and it is probably feeding on the sponge (but I am not...

Thanks for the info guys. I took a ride out today. It's good to have another local shop to check out besides for Trop. I like to support the local shops if I can. Good marine shops are few and far between. Greg seems like a knowledgeable dude, and he has a nice store. It's still in the...

I heard a rumor that a new fish store was opening in Ocean on Route 35. I think it's supposed to be close to Tropiquarium on the other side of the highway. Anyone hear or know anything about this? I'd like to make a trip out there to check it out if it is true. If anyone has any info it would be...
