New hitchhikers

Trying to get some positive id's on these.

I think this guy is a 'sacoglossa'....correct? Also found a smaller version with it. I'm hoping my id is right, because they're both history.

Is this a bad nudi?

Here's a toughie......I'm not sure if it's alive.....it didn't move in the time that I was watching....maybe 30 minutes. Kinda looks like a small mantis.

I have no idea what this is.....just found it.

that third one looks like something I seen on another site and is a parasite that will attach to your fish and kill them. You should remove it as soon as possilbe and make sure there are no more just to be sure.

Yeah, the third one looks like one of these:

The last one looks like a feather duster.

#2 and #3 need to go bye VERY quickly, not sure on 1 and 4. let us know what you come up with on those id's. also #2 looks alot like the zoa eaing nudis i battled for a while. that is a great pic of a dead on match in my experience.<~~~steve

I am worried.....though, it does resemble the good ones.....but I'm not 100% positive.

The only good thing is that I don't have fish in the tank....all I have is a serpent star and peppermint shrimp.

When I saw #3 I though OH NO but if you don't have fish you should be fine. I would do some reaserch and see how long they can live with no hosts. I know a guy over on SWF had a awfull time with them.

#2 kinda looks like one of theose aptasia eating nudies more than a zoanthis eating one to me. They can only go a few days with no food. If you can isolat it with a aptasia and see if he munches it would be the way to go.

He must be a good one then, because he's been in there for at least a month or so. I just added the shrimp to battle the aptasia.....I have plenty to go around.
