    Baby star?

    I am just confused as to how he got there, could he be hiding in my rock for 6 months and still be that small? the only new thing I have added in that time is a willow gargonian and I think i would have noticed him. Wild. My daughter has already named him "twinkle". any idea what to feed him?

    Sebae tearing itself-HELP-

    not enough light? then what are these made for, it has dual daylight and dual actinic. It is specifically designed for reefs. and I don't think it will outgrow my tank as what is in there now is all there will be. and my water conditions are fine, they have been stable for over a year.
