i think i found a better pic of the crab i have.. someone else has one and took pics.. this is how he looks anyways.. as far as i can tell till he comes way out in the open for me.

That's a cool looking crab... but I'd put him in the refuge so he can not cause problems.

i dont have a fuge! but when i make one, thats where he is going!

I have this green thing growing on my LR. I no idea what it is.
It was very small month ago or so, (size of the pea) so I thought its some type of coraline algae. But now its about 2 inches in diameter, and its not soft. Its hard, like a hard coral. But surely coral does not grow that fast in in new tank?

Anybody knows what it is?

The jellyfish Reeffer was mentioning:

Some kind of Cassiopeia. Don't know which species. The population bloomed to a few dozen, now it has stabilized at about six or eight individuals.

Mine would be a sea urchin.

Mine was an eel. A snowflake eel. I guess he was in the rock. I noticed something swimming around one night and then I looked closer and what do you know.

Bright red feather duster on a piece of lr. The tube is about the size on a pen insert and the crown is about 1/2" dia.

I just purchased a birds nest coral that has a coral crab, black clown goby and a pistol shrimp all hiding in the middle of it. I'm still waiting for them to come out where I can see them better.

I once got a SFE in 35lbs of Liverock. He was stuck in the rock

I recently bought a purple pipe organ coral... and noticed a very small (1/2") fish what looks like a scooter blenny darting aroung the coral and rocks.

I just recently found a clam in my tank, it emerged from the live rock i guess, cause i never bought any clams, it was so cool, it looks like a sunflower seed, but know it went back into one the rocks or one 0f the fish ate it, hope i see it again,

our first tank we found a baby urchin it was about the size of a pea after 7 months now its about the size of a fifty cent piece oh and our new 75 gal 2 clams

 

[bluelagoon]

i got a whole bunch of tiny baby snails! lol. oh and this crab i have not yet seen... just some partial molts, but he appears to be orange and white.
and of course several little feather dusters, some nifty worm in a piece of rock that i'm not sure if he's still alive. oh and my stomatella that died.
i guess the mystery crab is my fave, he's got to be so colorful! i hope i get to see him soon. lol

I have a big colony of bristleworms, this white transparent sponge thing that multiplied and now I have about 70 mini ones on my lr. I have also found some starfish and snails, nothing to crazy.
