hey all,

ive noticed a few new critters appearing in my tank recently, was wondering if anyone could id them for me?

This first one is like a small mushroom but looks more like an anemone to me, any ideas? its a bit greener than the pic shows and is very floppy..

next is a tiny crab in my acropora (yes i know the acropora is dead/dying :( ) its almost centre of image, same colour as coral. is it a porcelain crab of some kind?

nobody can answer?? please?

i wanna know what the top thing is

Looks like a mushroom to me, but is it being smothered by cyano?

And yes, it looks like you have a lovely little porceline crab.

Your zoas, mmmmmm, what is your phosphate reading?

I'm putting 2 + 2 together and coming up with high phosphates :blink:

whats cyano?
its on a rock, the rock has lots of pink flowing algae on it too..

its like a disc shape, but its not flat, its also got a kinda mouth opening in middle with little tentacles coming off like a filter feeder.
its about an inch in diameter and has grown since i got it on the rock.
its too thick to be a mushroom i thought.. hmmm

as for phosphates, ive not checked that recently, ill get it checked tomorrow hopefully and let you know
