Hiya,
Before you jump to conclusions, no, I haven't bought anything to put in my tank....I'm still waiting for it to cycle.
However, last night, as I was studying the tank for new life, which there is plenty! I realized, I hadn't looked under the rock for life. Well, I found what looks like an anenomie!
So, since this little guy was on the botton of the rock, I rearranged my LR so it was on the top and in the brightest part of my tank. Upon looking at the rock again, I noticed yet another one a little further down the rock. I'm pretty sure these aren't glass anenomies. They're bleached out, the centers are about the size of a eraser head with long white tenticals with little bulges at the end of their tips.
I've got a compact lighting system with a 65w and 100w bulbs. I know this isn't strong enough for anenome's but I want to give them the best chance of survival as possible. The tanks been up and running since Monday. I've seen lots of fans, the two anenome's, a snail and lots of critters running around on the rock. Do I need to try and feed them or will the critters running around on the rock be enough to feed it? I've thought of taking some of the tank water out, thawing some brine shrimp in it and using an eye dropper to try and get some food to them.
Any suggestions, or should I start playing taps for them?
