    Hitchhicker on glass (pics)

    flatworms are thin like sewing thread. the treatments they use are usually copper based so watch out. it's hard to see though, i will come up sometime this week with my camera and we can get some up close pics. if it is a flatworm 6 lines and dragonettes like to eat them.

    clown & coral host

    is there any way to entice my maroon in going to the bubble tip. the plate coral looks awesome and i dont want to loose another $40. nothing ever goes right with saltwater (my flat/bristle worms) & it really breaks the bank. sorry to be so negative, but i do appreciate the info.
