Its in the middle in the second pic and to the right in the first. Its brown with thin pink/white stripes and its like spiky but flowy in the water and when my hermit crab climbed on it, it went in its hole, then came back out.

I'll try and muster up a pic.

So I have the LS and the salinity under control in my 20gal tank and I want to go out and get some LR. Am I okay to introduce it to the tank today? When do I need to add the dead shrimp? Would someone please number out step-by-step. I have two clown fish that I also want to eventually put in the...
