Thank you for the information.
Some of these books and websites just don't give you all the facts.

Anybody know what this is?
Good or Bad?

It looks like aiptasia, it's an undesireable anemone. There are fish that will eat them(Copperbanded butterfly fish) .True pepermint shrimp will also eat them. I've also heard hermits will eat them but have not seen it myself. Nudibranchs will also eradicate aiptasia.

looks like aiptasia to me as well. best to nip it in the bud as soon as possible, because it is a relentless force.

Copperbanded Butterfly will eat it but it will ALSO EAT CORAL!!!! Not a good choice IMO Peppermint shrimp will only eat them when they are SMALL!
Calcium shot into them kills them! Just be aware of how much calcium you can add to your tank.

I gave them a shot of boiling water. Hopefully they are not coming back

you're doing a real good job with this build.

+1 I think it looks great! I love that black sand... I almost went that direction but ended up getting alot of white sand for free. Cant wait to see it when it's mature and everything has grown!
