What is this to the left a little down from the orange??? Some kind of Anenome?

 

[hydro]

WOW that a nice piece... how much does it weigh??????

 

[pyro]

Looks great! Lots of color!
I don't know what is in #4, can't find the orange you are referencing to. Maybe circle it.
I do know the whitish asterick type formations on the center of #1 look a lot like a candy coral skeleton.
Any full tank shots? I always like to see how people arranged their rock.

 

[edaw31]

The coral in #1 is still alive and I have it all over the tank with the animal inside coming out all the time with the bright white tips...the thing in #4 looks like a aloe vera plant almost..its on the bottom of the piece slightly to the right...I will post a full tank pic in a sec...I only have about 22 lbs of LR in my tank...just started..

heres the full tank view...have a long way to go

It looks good "really cool colors I love orange!" On the pic I dont know what it is either I know what your talking about just dont know mabey a flower anemone or a type of aptasia. Aptasia will need to be removed "if" that is what it is.

how long did it take for the rock to get that way???

 

[snipe]

Sounds to me like he bought it as live rock.

 

[edaw31]

I bought the stuff 1 day ago....it is "aquacultured" rock. LFS man said it has only been out of the ocean for less than a week at time of purchase.

 

[decaywunz]

Damn....my LFS doesnt have any rock like that! I just got some and a lot of it doesnt have any color.

Are these things you mentioned found in all LR? I assume they are bad for the tank?
