I Noticed that the LFS has a tank with only actnic lighting. Last week I was eyeing a live rock with brown mushrooms (not spectacular mushrooms). This week the mushrooms are Glowing Neon Green--the same color as a new colony of Polyps that are in the tank. I also noticed another group of...

Thx that confirms that what im seeing at the LFS are Tube Anemones. I was confused because they had no tubes :notsure: That article confirmes that they lose there tubes durring improper collecting and handling and not to purchase one without a tube. So has anyone purchased one without a tube...

BTW I'm not sure if it's called a Tube Anemone. They have long tentacles and are kinda transparent, they come in assorted colors pink, purple, white, brown ect...

At the LFS I see these long tenticle "anemones" They are cheap $12.00 and obviously dont need much light because they live under normal florescent bulbs for weeks at a time. I don't think they are actually an anemone. I'm thinking of getting one but the LFS can't tell me anything about them...

Maybe it did detach. The Emerald Crab was lurking around the area looking suspicious though.

I placed a small pulsing xenia polyp in my tank this weekend. It was doing fine till this morning--now it's gone. Here is a list of suspects: 1. Emerald Crab 2. Peppermint Shrimp 3. Cleaner Shrimp 4. Lettuce Nudibranch 5. Blue Leg Hermit 6. Scarlet Hermit

I noticed some at the LFS that had moved to a very shaded area. I wonder how little light they can thrive in? :notsure:

Yes, but the crab would have a cool shell. LOOT!!!

Wow those are cool fish, better get em fast. I've noticed some of the online shops rarely have them in stock.

Are those puffers? I think I saw one at the lfs--it wieghed about 3 lbs and had a mouth that could take a finger off. They wanted $250.00 for it last time I checked.

I like the way the light refracts off white substrate. I think you get the most light this way. I guess if you could keep the bottom polished up like a mirror it would be ok.

Nope, just alot of hours rearanging. I stacked the base rock before I put the sand in. One of the base rocks was 70 + lbs and was a real bugger to get in. I think the base rock is some kind of African rock (looks like lime stone whith big holes) I hope it works.

Well, mostly base rock but it's starting to liven up.

Thank You, keep the low light ideas going please. It's been very helpfull so far.

So will the small dime size ones on my live rock grow bigger?

Bring on the pics :joy:

There is enough mass that it does'nt flux much.

Is it Red Kelp?
