They retract into the tube, not into the rock. Are colonial hydroids harmful?

There are a few colonies of these sprouting up. They have a red/purple tube and sort of a green top. Aiptasia maybe?

Just a 20" PC right now. I'm planning on upgrading to MH later on. It seems to be doing alright for the corals that hitched in, one of them has already split.

I keep the trunk closed, there's an airgap out of the back of it to keep the condensation down. I'm planning on the clown, two bangaii cardinals, and a fire shrimp. I'll have to upgrade the lighting before I start seriously thinking about any corals. I have since added a skimmer to the sump...

Ha ha, didn't have anything else nearby, and since it was in the open I figured I'd catch it quick... shhh, she doesn't know.

Here's a shot of the tank, a coral that came attached to the live rock, and our clown.

I suppose I technically have a nano. It's been a few months in the making but here's some pictures... You can see the leak test in my garage, and then after I painted it set up in our living room. The steamer trunk in front holds the sump, it was made in the early 1900's. Got it cheap ;)...

I saw this thing in the tank tonight. It appears to be munching on a nassarius snail or perhaps a hermit (that's the bulb at the end, a shell). Any ideas? Help! It's about 3" long dangling from a rock.

I'm hoping to keep the same sump when I move to a bigger tank to reduce cost (and keep the wifey happy). I didn't get T-5's because I couldn't find a set small enough, 24" was the smallest I found. The PC's seemed to get more light output in a smaller area, I could be wrong though. I'm planning...

Hi all, I'm new to this hobby but have always wanted a saltwater tank. I got a 27gal hex (less than ideal, I know) for free and decided to dive in. I've been lurking and reading for about two months now and am about ready to start the tank. I drilled the hex for an overflow to a 20 gal sump...
