Love your site. I am working on one of my one with the critters I have in my tank. I will post a link when I am done and you are more than welcome to anything you might need or like. I have been chasing a 13 inch bristle worm for a good shot for a few weeks now. He is huge and I am bound to get one with at least 1/3 of him out.

Very informative site , I was actually wondering what that 'spaghetti' worm in my tank was.

Nice pics- very good idea for begginers I wish I found something like this when I was a begginner.

nemolover,

[welcome]

I'm glad you found it interesting. Did you know all of the critters or were there any that were new to you?

 

[nemolover]

Thanks melv-

I've been trying to learn as much as possible in these couple of years.The only one I have not heard of was the sacoglossa. Very interesting.
The reason I like your web site is because alot of times begginners look to the lfs for advice and get the wrong info. Not all the time but sometimes. My first set up was aggressive fish and they told me just about anything to get be to buy things. I learned the hard way after my fish out grew my 55 and a couple learning experiences. I decided to go reef now I have the beggining of a small reef. And found a great lfs. That helps alot.

Hey Melev, still trying to get that Kole Tang, he just doesn't want to sit in the right spot for a picture, and each time he does get in a picture he's zooming so fast that he's a blur *sigh*

Anyway here's a couple pics you may or may/not want both are reduced to 640x480 (cut to size NOT scaled)

Here's a featherduster without its feathers, it was still alive at this point, I touched it and it quickly retracted, but haven't seen it since wonder if he went to find a new place to make a new tube
featherless duster

And here's a peppermint shrimp, the aptasia eatting variant (unsure what the difference is between the two species though)

I kept them as URLs just so I dont foul up the topic with too many picture for those who are bandwidth-deficient I will get that Tang, oh yes I will!

Just want to say I *LOVE* your site....I've got a 25H that is currently cycling and a 15H with a Cinnamon clown and yellowback damsel...she's getting too testy to keep in a tank that small with the clown so we're putting him in a new home.
If I can ever get a cable for my old Olympus, I'll send you some shots of hydroids and 2 stages of Upside down jellies...both in hydroid form and medusae form...I've got dozens of em now...

Melev,

I read your comment about the whelk snail and noticed that I have several of these in my tank. I was about to take these out of my tank and noticed the comment for the Nassarius Vibex snail. These look the same, how do I know which one I have?
