A few questions.. What do they eat? Why do they sift the sand for? Will they be ok with a TINY amount of CC (about a pound or two)? Do they need a lot of LR to thrive (I only have half my tank filled with LR so far)? Can someone recommend a hardy species and not one that's going to destroy the...

Man you're fast. That's why I love this site. Yep, they're deffinatly Spirorbis sp. thanks! Also, with the long white thing, the clear end is open. Kinda looks like a fancy vase with the way it's shaped. I just thought I'd post that because the pic isn't the best.

I have these small white things growing on my LR. They kinda look like doughnuts. And also, that white tube thing. It came on my LR and looked like it was dead. In 2 months it has doubled in size although I've never seen anything come out the "mouth". Any ideas?

Yeah it's not slimy and there is some on my LR now too. I didn't know coraline would grow on sand.

I found this red stuff on my sand and I have NO IDEA what it is.. Can anyone help?

i have the same problem here. WCs have been doin really well for me. i agree with cleaning off your equipment. and get some reg legged hermits. i got 4 of them for my 45 gal and they've been keeping it low but still very noticable on my LR so i'm gonna get a 6 more. but red legged hermits and...

i have a 45 gal tank. that's about 48" long and i have 2 koralia 2s on opposite sides. one of them has the directional flow and the other doesn't. i usually switch where i point them every week. they're about 3/4 of the way up my tank. when they're pointed at eachother i have NO noticable dead...

I beleive there's probably tons of different base rock out there. My base rock is an off white color with really cool shapes (take a hammer and chisel to it). I have some good pieces of mature LR around it and it's starting to get coraline algae growing on it. But to answer your question.. I...

yeah i'm gonna go with aiptasia. not sure why myself, but everyone says get rid of it.

yeah it's real neat looking. i hope it lives well in my tank! and thanks! i couldn't get a picture so i just did the next best thing!

that's it! thank you very much!

There's this tiny creature, less than 1/8", it's white in color. It looks kinda like my picture. 9 legs, and string like tentacles comming out of each leg. It was too small to get a picture sorry! Any ideas?

Okay, I'll check that out. Why does it have to be a pile of LR rubble?

I have some light flow in there but it's not much. Maybe I'll point a powerhead at it? Is the circulation just for the copepods so they have a way of getting in and out?

Okay, here's what I'm thinking because I'm cheap I'll take a gallon sized clear container, cut a few nickle to quarter sized holes in it. Punch tons of thumbtack sized holes in it. Throw in some live sand, some crushed coral and broken up LR. And put it in the corner of my DT. Add a few hundred...

I deffinatly don't plan on having him starve to death! That's why I'm on here asking questions. What all would I need for a HOB fuge? Inlet and outlet pumps and some LR? Thanks for all the input!

One more quick thing.. Copepods are those tiny (1-2mm) white things all over my tank? They look like white teardrops with antenna. They eat those tiny things?! If they do then I have thousands of them already! Just on my glass. Is it safe to assume they're on my rock as well? And will a mandarin...

under my tank is closed off.. my own stupid design! maybe i could put it behind the tank? it's catty corner to the wall. also, would having 1000s of pods be too much for my tank? meaning, all my rock wouldn't be covered with them would it?

thanks for the replies! i'm not sure if they're pods but i have seen TINY white specs all over my glass. my tank is only 4 months old. would loading my tank up with pods (1,000 or so) now, then waiting a few months before adding him be okay?

Wow, really? I don't have a sump or a fuge.. Could I get a pack of 1,000 and let them in my tank for a few months? Or would they just overwhelm my tank?
