    New tank, pest control & adding 1st coral???

    Thank you and honestly I didn't even think about the die off other than my hermit crabs might get an easy meal. Unfortunately I didn't get to read your guys posts until after we already made a trip to the LFS :confused: I have been testing my water like crazy just because the tank did cycle fast...

    New tank, pest control & adding 1st coral???

    I have a 29gal biocube (we did our own filtration no bio balls) I do plan on adding some shrimp. In fact I was debating between adding the fish or the shrimp tomorrow, I'm trying to get some hitch hikers under control before I start added my planned livestock & coral. I didn't want to add the...

    New tank, pest control & adding 1st coral???

    Oh yes sorry I didn't certify, the rock wasn't out of the water for more than 10-20 mins. I just removed it to try and kill the tube snails and didn't know if from removing the rock it would effect my system somehow. I'm new to the hobby and would rather be safe than sorry before adding more...

    Hitch-hiker on live rock, what is it?!?!?

    I'm not going to try and remove him from the rock but simply flip the rock so his tube is in the sand. The way he is worked into the rock if I did flip it he would not get crushed or injured.

    Hitch-hiker on live rock, what is it?!?!?

    Thank you, he came with my rock so I'm really just hoping he'll survive the cycle. He seems to be doing fine and stays open most of the day and closes every once in a while. I do like him and would like to give him the best chance for survival if possible.

    Hitch-hiker on live rock, what is it?!?!?

    I did have another question regarding my big Feather Duster, his tube goes through the rock and comes out the other side on the right. When setting my tank up and I didn't realize that i didn't put him in the sand and I'm concerned that once I start adding cleaner crew and inverts they might...

    Hitch-hiker on live rock, what is it?!?!?

    This is my 'grown' Feather Duster, his feathers measure about 3" across. Could he be populating the tank? I thought they grew in colonies? He looks more brownish purple in real life.

I have serval that hitch-hiked on the rock, just wondering what these little creatures are. I do have a full grown Feather Duster Worm that came on a rock. My tank just...
