    hitch hiker id

    I have this orange thing that we thought was a mushroom, but have since noticed it moves around the tank, it is about 1 inch total. It looks just like a mushroom. I would take a pic, but I don't know where it is. It does have a hole or maybe a mouth at the center.

    heater question

    The room temp is about 72, I live in Michigan and it has been really cold here. The temp would drop a couple of degrees and then we turned it up and it would go up too high, we keep trying to get it at the right temp, but it doesn't seem to want to keep it there.

    what are these?

    I just noticed these tiny (too small to get a pic of) things that look like bugs; they are white to clear in color and crawling around on the sand and a few rocks. I did get some new cured rock last weekend, I don't know if they came with the rock or they have been in there all along and we just...

    1.5" mantis found in lr

    It is a brown color about an inch and a half long, looks just like a mantis shrimp. It is almost the size around as a pencil, mean too, he kept smacking at the turkey baster my hubby was trying to lure him out with. He is now in a qt tank until we can find him a home. Lfs does not want him.
