Hi,okie dokey just a quickie (no rude wit from you Seffie) lol.Can anyone tell me are these Aptaisia?? i have them in little colonies in around 5 spots in my tank and also on some LR that has gone into my frag tank from Yf's tank whilst he waits on his new tank.
Sorry the pictures are not that great as they are so small its hard to get a good shot

Thay do look like little feather dusters to me,but do feather dusters clump in colonies?? And do they come in this colour??
Thanks

Me surely not!!

They are not feather duster i'm afraid certainly look like aiptasia to me - get the soldering iron and burn the boogers

You can give it a try but bet you end up burning them!

Personally, I dont think there Aiptasias. They have alot more poylps on the head than the aiptasia I have seen. But I could be wrong. Time for the joes juice I reckon.

 

[seffieuk]

Well, you are there YF, could they be yellow zoas? But more likely to be aiptaisia

[youngfisher]

There no zoas, could be yellow clove polyps. But im sure apit of joes juice will determine what they are!

My dads shooting the stuff as we speak, oh and spilling the good old salty water all over his chair. Good Ol' Dad

looks good

 

[ben1987]

thats looking rather nice

 

[seffieuk]

Indeed, I agree with Bae and Ben, looking fab BUT a word of caution and a little wager, some of those boogers will have moved and will come out else where on the rock, so keep a close eye out for them to reappear

Ok advice needed asap pleaseeeee .....
My son aka Yf is trying to palm off his Orchid Dotty Back onto me after finding it can be aggressive.One slight problem is that this was one of the 1st fish the wife liked when visiting our LFS.But i dont want to add to my tank if its going to create me problems with future stocking? At the moment i have a Maroon striped clown,a leopard wrasse and a fiji blue damsel who all seem to tolerate each other without any problems.Soooooooo do i introduce Yf's fish to my tank??

[seffieuk]

They are one of the least agressive dottybacks - and I agree with your wife, they are lovely - if it were me I would put it in and think myself lucky I got such a lovely fish free
