Hey guys. I found/noticed a few more things in my tank. I do not have pics right now, they were taken by a friend with a very good camera, and he has not loaded to his computer yet(traveling). I should be able to have them in a day or two. I will give my best description possible.
1, This thing is roughly 1/4 long, and half as wide as it is long. Think of those decorative cookies in the bakery. The ones that are meant to look like footballs. Well this thing is a dark red, almost like a purple between cyano and corraline. It has "hash" marks across it's body with one larger central "hash", much like the strings of a football(although these are not white, but a darker red). I have seen a few, and they do move. but slow. Like you'll see it, go watch tv for 2 hours, come back and it will have moved half an inch. Without noticing they moved, they would blend in with most of the rock. Worried this is some kind of predatory snail or slug.
2, This thing looks like a colorful furry ball. I have only noticed 2, but they are wierd looking. They are white-ish in color, and seem to have almost like "spines" coming off, making them look like a teeeeeeny tiny urchin, but the spines are WAAAY to short to be correctly proportioned. The spines are a pinkish to purplish in color. Seemingly the longer the spine is, the more purple it is. I have yet(3 weeks running) to see them move. Could this be come type of mollusk? I have not seen any form of feeding devices in/on it.
3, I got a rock, about the size of a very small maxima clam(about 3" long). This "rock" had 3 sponges on it. One is like a wavy type, one was almost like an encrusting type, but slightly raised from normal ones, and definitely an encrusting type, blue in color. The surface that all these sponges grow on is a flat surface, which looks like it has "rings" on it, like a tree would(odd, and strangely perfectly flat. So i glues the OPPOSITE side to the rockwork. Came back 2 days later, it was gone, and knocked into the back of the tank. The epoxy moved with the "rock" and my serpent star was hanging out around it so I figured it was him that moved it. Glued it down with epoxy, and gel super glue. Came back another 3 days later, it was knocked off laying in the back again. However, this time the epoxy did not travel with the rock. On top of the epoxy is this little "thing" sticking straight up. It looks like someone took a 1" diameter plate coral, and folded it in half(so the textured surface looked in on itself), and added a piece that looks like a nem "foot" about 1" tall to the bottom of it. It is brown in color. I touched it lightly with a stick and it is hard, and got NO reaction of it like hiding or moving at all. Now looking at the other side of this "rock" it kind of looks like a clam, and you cannot tell that it broke anything off. Could this be the clam "foot" and he shed it so that he could move and open up? I have noticed that I placed it(without any glue) and it moved, like listed to one side, overnight.
