Here is a picture of a creature Bob found in his tank with the rock he got from me. Anyone know what it is? I've never seen anything like it. Is it a nudi?

pat, that little frag of hammer you gave me seams like it's growing already. does it grow fast?

Mine have grown pretty quickly. I started with 4 heads. Then when I was trying to move it one time, it broke in half, so I had two 2 head pieces. Then I noticed a baby on one.
When I was trying to move the corals around to get the rock we were selling, I broke it again, and that's one of the heads I gave you.
Just keep watching it...you'll see it split and make more heads.

Pat and Bob,

How large is this thing? Can you get a closer picture? It almost looks like a cucumber to me, but the picture is too fuzzy to be sure.

Bob will have to answer it because I've never seen it. I don't have a clue as to what it is.
I know I did get 2 nudi's from the TBS tank, but they didn't look like that, and it was months and months ago I saw them.

Too close to what?

 

[bobt2]

dennis, too close to the hammer coral but it has nothing to do with what happened.

 

[bobt2]

brain, it's a little over an inch long and barely moves. now that you say it, it may well be a cuke.

It looks a lot like one of my filter feeding cukes doing a walkabout. Here is what mine looked like:

What would be interesting, if you still have it, is to place it near a piece of live rock with a hole just slightly larger than its diameter and see if it crawls in and opens up like this:

It very well might be. Bob, here's a picture I posted for you months back. It looks very much like the picture you just showed us.

I have one just like that Brian.

I have always had a few curley cues in the TBS tank. Two of them disappeared months ago and have never come back.
I noticed since we moved all the rock around, the one we did have remaining has moved slightly to get more light.
Today, I noticed it had a baby!!

I just thought this was a cool picture of a hermit that came hitching with our part 1. Benny knocked it upside down. He is the terror of the tank for sure, and getting to be a real PITA. A silly little $6 fish is destroying $50 corals. He's cute, but I don't think his antics are. he knocked a zoa frag to the sand again.

 

[bobt2]

pat, that one was much bigger and brown. brian, i have one of those in my 33. this doesn't look like it at all. this one is pure white. the filter feeder is very dark brown

 

[patsan]

Hmmm....I thought they looked the same.

Do you have any pictures of your xenia we could see?

 

[bobt2]

i'll send you some tonight

Those aiptasia scare me. I thought I got rid of them all MONTHS ago, then a small one grew back. I think I have some aiptasia hidden where I can't see them. I have to get more Joes Juice; the bottle I had dried up on me. Adding RO/DI water to the bottle didn't help much, it jammed up the syringe when I tried using it.

I know I am late.... but I thought I'd give my 2 cents about the urchins. I am pretty sure I have the same echinometra species urchin that you guys have-- I have three of them, and they are all pretty darn big. I bought a frag of Xenia a couple months ago, and not only have the urchins not touched it, but the Xenia has grown very quickly. I've already had to trim it back.

 

[patsan]

I don't care for the aiptasia either. Weird thing....I just walked past the tank, and the larger curley cue is there, but the clear one that was next to it is gone.
I can't see it anywhere. I wonder if it's on the move again?

 

[bobt2]

i,m seeing a little red slime in the new tank, never had this in the other tank. i ordered some red slime remover today. has anyone used this before and does it work?

 

[bkelley02]

Is that the Ultralife one?
