I just purchased my first salt water tank, I have had it running for 5 days with ro from the store 10 pounds of live sand, Base rock and 2 pieces of live rock. The water clarity is great and everything looks good so far, I have a question about the critters that came on the live rock.
As i was at the store looking at all the live rocks and deciding what would look the best I was chatting with another member of this board and he warned me about these red flowing looking things that were all over the live rocks, He warned me they would take over the tank and hurt any soft corals If i decide to have them. I questioned the clerk about that and she said that it was an accurate statement but pointed out a different flower looking creature. Anyways I lucked out and have both of these now growing in the tank and I now see more of them popping up in different places.
So I am posting pictures below, Can someone point out which one is bad and how to remove them and If i should?
I love the board and am looking forward to see my new tank come to life..
Thanks,
