Thanks so much for the replies brandonberry and wafilms! Update...been watching and watching and haven't seen the guy since! WEIRD! Glad I took pics! LOL!

Yikes! Tonight I saw a long, thin creature swirling all around my tank! It's about 7-8 inches long. It quickly twirls all around...up, down, sideways, near the top, near the bottom, in the middle. It's either green or gray. One end is a little beige...about 1/2 inch. It doesn't seem to have...

Is there such a book or website or something that lists the life expectancy of various marine life? Maybe breaks it down for types of fish and inverts?

I was doing a little cleaning in my tank. I left the room to get some new filter pads, and noticed a stream of white billowing. It looked like a chimmeny smoking, and was coming from one of the little feather dusters that came on my live rock. Anyone out there know what it is? Is it...

Awesome! Thanks so much!

By the way, do you think the blue masses are part of the sponge? They are seen in the last pic I posted...on the one side of the rock...towards the under/lower side.

Thanks a bunch HDTRAN an HWARANG! Hopefully I will be successful in posting more pics!

Thanks for the quick reply John! I took some pretty good pics, but they were too large...more than 256K. Consequently, I couldn't upload them to this message boad. So I took my camera setting down to the "economy" setting and the smallest resolution. That pic is the one that FINALLY went...

Yea! I FINALLY uploaded a pic! It is obviously still growing strong! Anyone know what it is?

I have a mass that is slowing growing/covering a pretty purple figi rock. I first noticed it almost 2 months ago. It is not totally transparent, yet not truly white either. There are several clear things standing up on/growing up from the mass. I thought maybe sponges or tunicates; however...

Hi Everyone! I have found the answer to want these criiters are on page 3 of the Live Rock Hitchhiker info pages! (Sorry no pic...they didn't turn out at all...they're too small!) I have many little white brittle starfish! Do they remain very small? Do they live long? Any predators? Thanks!

Hey SeaMaiden! Neat link! I have had some aiptasia ever since I set up my tank 13 months ago...hitchhikers on the LR! I have 2 peppermint shrimp who must be helping, but haven't wiped them out completely. Not tons. A few here and there. I pick them out carefully with long tweezers. Do...

Wow! Thanks everyone for the info! :lol: Marrowbone, I believe they are what you have! They are just as you described! I am assuming they remain small? The largest one I have seen is about the size of a dime...including the central disc and all 5 legs. I am a bit worried about the green...

WOW! Thanks so much for all of the help! There is a lot to look through! I really appreciate everyone's advice! :lol:

Thanks for the replies! Mitch, have you been breeding them? They are so cute! Funny that they start out orange! Anyone know what the white things in my tank are? Maybe a kind of worm?
