Thanks!!! I thought maybe it was some sort of leather, possibly toadstool but I really wasnt sure. I couldnt find any pictures that looked just like mine.

My 2 clowns....about 3/4 of an inch in size.

These came on some live rock I bought from a local reefer who was breaking down his tank. He wasn't sure what they were and I have no idea either.

Picked up my 2 clowns and a Pink Tip Haitian Anemone tonight & they are currently acclimating. Let me know what you think of my aquascaping/rock work...It took me a while and was quite frustrating.

Well I didnt take any pics of the initial set up but here is my 55 gallon. It has been set up for about 2 weeks now. I plan on keeping soft corals, a pair of clowns and a few other undetermined fish. I've got a start to a clean up crew; 5 Red Tip Hermits, 3 Scarlet Hermits, 3 Bumble Bee Snails...

I recently purchased some LR from a guy who was breaking down his tank. Some of the pieces had Mushrooms & Zoos. One piece had the below. It is about 4-5 inches in size. Most of the time it looks as it is in the first picture but sometimes it seems to scrunch up and doesnt looks so good...

I just started up my first SW tank and it is a 55. I bought 35 lbs from a guy locally and it wasnt even close so I bought another 60 lbs and that gave me the perfect amount. I'd say 80-100 lbs is where you wanna be depending on the amount of pores in the rocks.

Jason Garrett needs to go...then things will start to improve. Offensive play calling has bene horrible the last 2 weeks.

What do I do to increase my PH then?? Don't PH buffers also increase alkalinity. Everything i've read says my PH needs to be 8.2-8.4 and that having a high enough alkalinity & calcium should keep it around there.

Also forget to mention....When I asked the lady at my LFS about raising my PH she suggested using Baking soda. I added 1/4 cup to my tank but it has only raised my PH a hair. I did not test my alkalinity before adding the Baking Soda so I dont know how much that raised my alkalinity.

I've recently set up my first saltwater tank. I have a 55 gallon with about 100 lbs of LR, 50 lbs of Live sand, protein skimmer, 2 Koralia "2" Powerheads & a Aquarclear 110 Power Filter. I've had my tank set up for about 2.5 weeks now. Yesterday I put in 8 snails & 8 Hermits. All of my LR...

So it appears there are strong arguments both ways. With only 2 or 3 other fish in the tank I may just give ONE Tang a shot and see how it goes once I know my tank is fully cycled. Out of the Yellow, Sailfin & Blue Hippo which will be the smallest as an adult? I noticed SWF.com recommends 75...

From what i've read I dont think I can do Butterfly's, I am going to have lots of soft corals. This is my first saltwater so I'll see how I do with this one for 6 months or so and then i'll probably look for a nice 125 or bigger so I can get my tangs. Got a good deal on my 55 but I've since...

I have a 55 gallon reef tank that I am currently setting up and have fallen in love with Tangs. My 3 favorites are the Yellow Tang, Blue Hippo & Sailfin. Can I have all 3 of these in my 55 along with 2 Clowns or would that be too much?? I have about 75 lbs of LR & my flow is about 1200 GPH.

Assuming optimal conditions & food. How fast will a fast growing specimen grow and how slow will a slow growing specimen grow?? What are some of the faster growing breeds??

Say I buy a frag with 3-5 Polyp's. How long until I would have a nice sized colony of 20-30 Polyp's?? What all effects growth rate??
