Peggy is the one who suggested a medusa worm Richard. I'm just saying if it is, than I have one too. I always thought it was a mini serpent.

Thanks Dave.
That last link doesn't really look like what Bob has....unless we just can't see all the bristly spines in his pictures.

 

[dwculp]

Actually, I had to shrink his pictures down, the pictures he sent were larger and you can see the bristles in the original photos.

 

[bobt2]

of course my problem remains, goby type fish vanish! i also noticed my smallest serpent star is missing the tips of all its arms!

 

[bobt2]

my star looks like aranea, except that was taken in the british islands.

How about some pictures!!

How about some pictures!!

We are currently torturing the kids with standardized tests by keeping them in their seats all day long taking long tests. Something I dont agree with.

Anyways, took a few pics and processed some older ones. The large hammer coral is now split into two pieces as it broke a couple of days ago while tank cleaning. Oh well, now I have two to grow out!!!

Nearly all the clams have died (very recently actually and at the same time) but my oysters are still chugging along!!

So ugly he is cute:

Lookie what I found - just the molt.

I saw a very small crab in my aquarium and am not sure what it is. It was too small to get a picture of, but the body was all black, the legs were white and black and the claws were white and black. Any ideas?

 

[bobt2]

did it have white spots on the shell?

 

[jazz881]

As far as I can remember, the body was solid black, the legs were black & white and the claws were black on one side and white on the other. Unfortunately, it was too small to snap a picture of.

 

[patsan]

These are Bob's pictures....did it look like this?

 

[jazz881]

Yeah, pretty much. Quite a bit smaller though.

 

[bobt2]

pat, your amazing! you keep better records of my stuff than i do.

 

[jazz881]

But what is it?
