Yea, it hurt It's not to bad. It's really the side of the tip. I just left the skin flap on for protection and slapped a band-aid on it.

I'm having a hell of a time trying to figure out what these are if I should kill them...

When I messed around in the tank it retracted...

I've been told mojano, cup coral, mini carpet nem, baby rock flower nem....so what is IT??

And a feather duster. Can barely make it out in the middle of the picture toward the right edge of the left rock. Feathers are red.

dont look like mojano to me but other than that iv no idea

look at that picture!! Looks like it.

Hello WWM team!!!I have uploaded 2 pictures of this creature on the rock. I'm surprised they even turned up on my camera. The tentacles are pretty much clear. They appear to have tiny whitish bulbs on the end of the tentacles. Not big bulbs. I had to study with a magnifying glass. I've been told its mojano anemone, baby flower coral, and possibly a baby cup coral. <Does the skeleton go with it that appears to be below? If so, neither of the anemones... Possibly the scleractinian... Could be a Rhizangiid, or single-polyp Euphylliid/Caryophylliid as well>Some are saying kill it and others are saying don't kill it. It's in my quarantine tank right now and I wish to add the rocks to my display tank. Please send me your thoughts.<See WWM re the tentative IDs above>Thank you so much it's greatly appreciated. I included the pictures so others could see it when you post my question also. May help someone else at some point.Thank you so very much for your hard work and dedication to the hobby Korrine<Certainly welcome. BobF>

Peanut admiring my tank

(I have Boobear, baby girl and peanut )

We frequently sit in front of the tank as a family and watch was goes on in there. It's great. Glad I set it up and my hubby is enjoying it also. I think he was a bit apprehensive at first.

I think I may save for a T5 fixture instead of putting up the 260 watt pc's. I would like to have a crocea clam in there eventually.

My last fish addition will probably be a yellow assessor. We'll see when that happens

 

[kj23502]

Some pictures.

Some new rock. Only 3 lbs.

All 4 fish in 1 picture

Goby ticked off at the clown.

I know I said I wouldn't...lol. BUT I had free shipping!!!

A guy in my lrc said his order is enough for the minimum order to get free shipping and if anyone wanted to piggy back on his order to let him know. Well I got 2 new additions. Don't worry. They're a VERY small bio-load(especially since I just added the clowns 6 days ago.)

Gobiodon okinawae (yellow clown goby)

And Lysmata amboinensis (cleaner shrimp)

I did offer to pay the guy a few extra $ but he wouldn't take it and gave it to my kids when I refused...lol.

 

[kj23502]

We'll see if I can get action shots in the tank after a day or 2. I'm going to leave the lights off for today.

 

[kj23502]

Now the shrimp is in the tank too. I acclimated 1 at a time. I was cool to see the shrimp swim when I plopped him in.

OMG!

love the yellow clown goby!!!!

 

[kj23502]

Thanks. They are both still alive today! YAY! I'm going to feed tonight and see if the clown will eat.

The shrimp molted already...
part of the molt. Other is behind a rock and I can't get a good shot of it.

Can kinda see the shrimp hiding back there.

little clown goby hiding in dead SPS. They usually live on these in nature.
