Oh yeah, all the branches are there, it just sucks them back into its body!

nah, it's just been lazing about on a piece of rock. I just took 20 minutes of video to go through and see if I got it doing anything cool. It's only about 3/4" long...

A quick google turned up this one http://www.philippine-sea-slugs.com/...descens_01.htm Which I reckon is a good match. Apparently they eat coral? I wonder if this one has adapted to goo, cos I only have a few shrooms, a pipe organ and a zoanthid so not a lot on the menu....

Had the tank up and running for seven months now, still only three chromis a seargeant major, some random shrimp and some snails. Got some new rock a few months back and tonight I noticed this little guy for the first time! Pretty sure it's a nudibranc, anyone got anything to input? Obviously...

Can anyone confirm if this is a gorilla crab? I smashed a chunk of live rock tonight to get it out!!! Thank you!!!

Ok, did my best to get a topside pic, but the camera sees the world a whole lot different through angled, curved glass than I do! Is Manjano a worldwide anenome or is it endemic to certain regions? I am actually starting to think this is some sort of Zoanthid, based on the structure, and...

I knew I should have canned the crab as soon as I saw it.... I had the rock in fresh water for about 5 minutes too and the little bugger wouldn't come out! Will try and get a more face on pic of the anenome.

Have this little guy in my tank, slowly getting bigger. Has never moved and is the only one. I am figuring it is Manjano from looking at the pics on this site. Do I have to kill it? I don't have any corals andit is also unlikely that I will in the reasonable future. I also think I have a...

Can anyone tell me for certain what this stuff is? I bought it in a bag marked Coral Sand. Is it suitable for use as a sand bed? or is it just crushed coral? Was it a waste of money?

Hey, don't worry.... I have a $70 bag of crushed coral, well I think it's crushed coral.... It said "coral sand" on the bag, grains are about .5-1mm (20-40 thou ") and are all rounded not sharp.... What is it? I should get a pic to put up of it to see if it is suitable... Ooh then I can get a...

Yes, topping off with saltwater as I removed saltwater from the system.

Is this right? 0's on Ammonia and Nitrite, 20 on Nitrate... Tapwater.... I gotta gets me some RO water yeah?

Watching my rock last night I saw this long thread waving about in the the rock crevices, 'cool' I thought, new creature... The more I watched the more I realised how weird it was! The tube is about 1/8" across, but the tentacles themselves seem to stretch out to about 4" or so!!! They weave...

Hey all, this is all the tank in question :) Tank is a 47 gallon bow front Aquaone (with integral top mount filter and light hood) 2 x 10k 25w fluoros 1 x 15k 20w actinic 285 g/h Filter pump 2 x 140 gph PH 1 x 85 gph PH Is 660 gph in circulation enough for a 47g tank?
