brad benefield would be fine... I was actually playing with these things today, I flicked one off the glass and watched it pump itself to get back to the glass. I'll try to do it again and get you one or two more pictures tomorrow...

Thanks for keeping the site updated. It is invaluable for beginners like me. I have such a hard time identifying corals... the site really helps.

Welcome, you are - my young apprentice. (Yoda voice)

Hey Marc... here are a few more pics, none of these are probably good (clear) enough to go on your site... it's really hard to take a good close up shot with these things moving. If you like them feel free to use them and even crop them any way you would want.

I put up the first image you posted. Do you not have anything presently in the tank that might try to eat those? I need to go as Dr Ron what it is specifically.

 

[theishkid]

No I don't think so... the only things in my tank so far are skunk (cleaner) shrimp, yellow watchman goby, and a gold striped maroon. Even after throwing them off the glass the maroon clown didn't try to eat them.

That's a great job, that's got to be a big help to some reefers.

This site has some great pictures of various pods...an amphipod gallery, even...

Good stuff. FWIW, I have a blood shrimp that hangs out in plain view all day and that I feed by hand. I usually have to pull my hand out of the water to get her to jump off. I'm very deeply in love with her.

That's really nice to hear. I wish mine would do that. You know what I see the most? Its shed skeleton somewhere else in the tank after molting. I saw one yesterday, matter of fact.

Wow, what a helpful site. As a new reefer, I positively idenfitied 5 or 6 things without another, "ID THIS" thead. Thanks!

 

[melev]

I'm glad it helped. There is lots more there on my site to peruse, when you have the time.

Hi Marc,

I just want to say that your webpage is great. Lots of good ideas and the id page was a big help. It helped me identify a black stomatella that hitchhiked on my liverock. It climbed to the highest point for 3 days straight to release its eggs.

I remember seeing your nano on the nano forums which is very nice btw. Do you have the information about your nano on your webpage?

 

[melev]

Yes, here it is: http://www.melevsreef.com/pico.html
