Rather than clutter up the forum with simliar questions, I thought I'd try posting in here first.
120 Gal cool water tank with local hitchikers only - LR from local waters in San Diego. 5 days old.
Worm in upper left picture. Snail to right is about 1/6" big. What's the worm and the snail?

Couldn't get the camera to focus on this, but it's ribbed and almost transparent when you look at it just right. Sponge? Wasn't there yesterday. :scared:

Another angle of the "sponge"

Are these baby Sea Hares? I have two of these running around now. Never noticed them until today.


I have a few of these anemones sprouting. I removed three before I put in the LR since I couldn't ID them. Don't know if they're the same. They're a couple of days old. Look to the right of the tube. What's the tube from anyhow? Wasn't there yesterday. Should I be concerned about either?


Something has been crapping up a hell of a storm in my tank. The only major living organism within a foot of that area is the tank's biggest hermit crab. Is this hermit crab crap?

Blessum - What you did is called hijacking. It's considered rude because it detracts from the original poster. Starting a new thread is the preferred way to get answers to your specific questions.
philgmiami - Profanity is not tolerated here in any form for any reason.

Bang,
I'm surprised you'd rather that I start up another "What's this in my tank" thread rather than use one that already exists? It'd only clutter up the forum.
It makes more sense to have posts asking the same question in one thread so that it stays up for longer, gets more looks and more likely, a response from somebody who might identify something in one of the posts.
At least you left Philigmaimi's reply up so hopefully I will be able to copy and paste rather than retype and rework all of the links again. Thanks.

Nope, hitting quote did not get my source/info back so I couldn't do a single copy and paste to start a new thread as requested.
I'm too tired to do it all over again.

Actually, seperate threads makes searches easier in the future for folks looking to identify their animals. A bunch of "what's this" posts in the same thread also makes it more difficult for someone trying to respond to the original poster.
In fact, I would actually prefer a seperate thread for each of the animals you are trying to ID. One Question One thread makes it a lot simpler.
If you had an animal that you thought looked like the what the original poster posted then that would be related.

Philgmiami-
Can't tell for sure, but it looks like a Peacock mantis from the red antennal scales. If you read up on them (Grimreefers dot com has a great Mantis forum) and decide he needs a new home (so he doesn't kill everything else in your tank!), I'm looking for a colorful one! Willing to pay shipping plus something for your trouble.
Email me at GoSpeedGrrrl AT Yahoo.com if you want to sell!
