I'm cycling my tank and it's amazing how much fun we're having just watching rock. I guess it's the cold weather settling in on the midwest. I've got live rock and there a few things I don't know what they are....... Any input would be appreciated.....
I have about a 1/2 diamater white little coil. It's coiled around about 6 times then tails off for about an inch. I'm told it's a tube worm. But all the pictures I find don't look like it.
I have a moss or fuzzy type of material growing in nickle to quarter size areas on a rock. One patch is white, the other is brown and a third is tan. The pattern within the texture and colors kind of looks like a soccer ball. I haven't pictures that match this either on the web.
The last is the most intriguing. There is a white speck about 1/2 the size of a pencil eraser on one rock. Exciting huh... Then I noticed the other day some red area near it on the rock... whoooooo color...... Can you tell we're new to this.... Then today my girlfiend noticed the red part was getting bigger and was kinda fuzzy. We went to show it to the kids (who are anxious for fish. They've named the rocks and the red thingy...) and it was gone. Darn, it probably died or fell off... Then she looked again and it was there. I looked and said your nuts, it's gone and left the room. Again she's telling me it's there. I came back and again called her crazy, becuase it's not! Then all the sudden it slowly creeps out of the rock! Wow... Life. In my tank... It comes and goes, but we can't really see it well enough to know what it is. Any ideas???
We can hardly wait to get fish...
