This first one is some kind of worm that is similar to a feather duster but they have clear yet rainbow luminescent crowns. The crown is in the center of the pic.

These are the legs of my brittle star. I dont know the name of it so if anyone has one or knows what it is called let me know. It is blue/black/purpleish with cream stripes.

Nice tank. I have question for you. My question is I notice that you don't have any substrate at the bottom and I have have 75 gallon with for sand bed to, but I'm having problem with the debri behind my rock and underneath the Live rock. Can you show me how you set your powerhead behind the LR and what kind of powerhead your using because I'm planning to arrange my LR so that I don't get build up debri behind and under the rock. Any suggestion on how to do it.
Thanx
Jay

Its a 58 gallon and I have 2 MJ1200s laying on the bottom pointed towards the front of the tank to keep most detrius from settling. I have another Mj1200 pointed from the back left corner to the front right corner. It is in the mid-upper water column.
I do a 5 gallon water change every week and when doing so I vacuum up anything settled on the bottom. You pretty much HAVE to do this weekly.
I also keep chaeto in the display and harvest monthly for some additional nutrient export. Over-skimming is key IMO when going barebottom but I do like how clean my tank stays now. Glad I made the switch.

Yeah I see that. That what I want to do too so that I don't get a debri build or settle down at the bottom specially under the lr. Is you LR leaning aganist the back of the tank because it seem to be that is not. I'm sorry I also don't have any sand bed on my tank too.

Have you thought of adding a background? Blue tint will make it look fuller imo, but other than that, it's looking great.

I have the same rainbow looking feather duster growing in a couple spots out of my live rock. talked to my dealer and he has no idea. every couple of days they dissapear into the rock so i think it is some type of worm

Very nice! I love the rockwork and must admit the whole bare bottom thing is intriguing me, how do you keep the lr from sliding around?
What is the coral on the right in the 3rd pic?
