Here are some more from my tank :(

I had the same snail in my tank and it was ID'd as a horse conch. Which is carnivorous and will eat just about anything. If you do a search for horse conch or look in the photography section at the 'conch pics' thread you will see mine.

What color is the gunk, and is it coming from its mouth or somewhere else?

Looks like aplysia is the winner! It is some sort of Sea Hare! I am in the process of setting up a refugium right now, so I will throw some of his algae in there when I do. Right now I have a culture of it growing in another tank.

Austin here. 10 years in the USAF, some spent at Kelly AFB.

Yes, those shows are worth watching. Again and again and.... :)

I've had this Fla rock in my tank for over a month and I'm still finding new stuff! This guy seems content to munch on the red algae. It's gross watching him eat, since he is translucent, and you can see his insides working... What is it?

Kinda hard to see, but I would guess clove or glove polyps...

Looks like a Heliacus snail. They wait until lights out and then eat zoanthids/polyps. :(

Wow, that looks like an alien landscape or something!

Originally posted by elan i cant belive how much more life ends up in the tank each and every time i take a look at it...... That's my favorite part of this hobby. I think I watch more 'tank' than TV. :)

sammystingray - Yep, that is algae. There is red macroalgae all over this rock, some of the plants are getting to be about 6" tall now. But I think my caluerpa is out competing it. BangGuy - I hope he is an aiptasia predator, because he has his work cut out for him. :) j21kickster - Yeah, I'm...

and last of all, some sort of nudibranch or maybe a slug.

A brittle star of some sort...

Lucky me, a former bug of the week. He seems content to dig in the sand, and didn't take any chunks out of my finger hehe.

Some sort of sponges?

Yep, those are star polyps.

If you want to send me some I'd be happy to take some and pay for the shipping! :) I'm in Austin, Tx which isn't too far from NO.

I got my rock from the gulf. Here are the crabs that came with mine, and what I was told about em. #2 is a red mithrax - red smooth body, with hairy legs - good #4 unknown - grayish, hairy all over - probably bad
