Well, I finally figured all this stuff out. The "baby corals" ended up being Aiptasia. I went and bought a peppermint shrimp from my LFS and he took care of the problem in about a week. Tank looks great and the shrimp has gotten bigger since then. Thanks for everyones help

Ok. Sorry it took so long, but heres some better pictures of them. They are still kind of blurry, but you can see their little stems and little flower like hairs on top.

Ok. Im working on it, but it might be a minute, my camera's having a hard time focusing on them.

Well, now that Im looking at these aiptasia pictures, It kind of resembles the white colored one's too. It says on these web sites that they spread really fast, so maybe that's why I have so many of them...Should I wait and see what they are or just get a peppermint shrimp just in case?

Yeah, they look exactly like those, except really really small. There are about 2-3 dozen of them also. How long does it take for them to get a little bigger? I just noticed them yesterday, so I dont know how long its been since they popped up.

Alright, I think that sounds like a good idea. I read some of the other posts on this board, and it sounds like having a quarantine tank setup all the time is a good idea anyway. Thanks for your help and when I get the fish today, Ill make sure to post a picture of it (if its stomach is still...

I bought the whole setup but havent gotten the fish over here yet. He still has them in his smaller tank at his house. I was waiting to put them in until I had the whole thing set up and running smoothly. I did see them when he first bought them, but that was months ago and the fish were healthy...

So,this is my fist saltwater tank, and I bought the whole set-up from a friend of mine. I have the tank set up with nothing but live rock in it and Im supposed to be getting the few fish that were in it later tonight. They are 2 green spotted puffers and I think a damsel. The problem is that one...
