Bristleworm

Depending on who you ask they are good or bad. IMO I love them and consider them an valuable member of the cleanup crew.

Is it alright to put in the dt? I've got the rock in my grow out tank for now. Thanks

What about this little hitchhiker? About an inch long- some kind of cucumber?

This is definitely a ball anemone... I had some come in on a piece of rock and loved it, at first. These have now become an absolute nightmare. They spread quickly and are very tiny and almost impossible to see until they get larger. They like to get into the zoa colonies and will slowly kill them off. If you notice zoas starting to migrate away from their plug or rock there is usually one of these to blame. Aptasia X takes care of them but it's basically impossible to find them all. If you can get rid of that piece of rock completely and cross your fingers that they haven't started to spread.

Worm bad

Snails good

White dots are good snail eggs

Algae good for tangs, without tangs it might grow and take over.

Got some new sails the other day and just noticed this tonight. Anyone have any ideas? The feeders almost look like a toadstools..

So my torch coral completely recessed into its skeleton yesterday out of the blue. So I dip it today and a cpl of the law bugs fall off. When I swish the water around in the collection cup they begin clinging to the tissue the the torch dropped. When I take the little sucker out of the water the body curls up into a u shape. And it's pretty flat.

I'm wondering if these guys are the culprit.

 

[Mike J.]

That thing on your finger tip is a baby Chiton. I doubt that it is damaging your Torch.

I was thinking that but how did I get a baby chiton if I didn't have an adult chiton? The only thing I have seen in my tank that closely resembles that is a stomatella. Thoughts?

 

[Dougie Pumpkin]

Any ideas what this is ?

And is it harmful ?

 

[Vividgraphx]

It's an arminid nudibranch. Remove it. Looks cool but is no good.
