Marc,

Do you by any chance know what this is?

 

[Sohal11]

Here is a clearer picture of it.

Well, that is tough to see. Looks like a nudibranch, but I can't say what kind.

 

[Sohal11]

Sorry for a poor pix. That is the best I can do with my camera during the time that I have at hand. It sure look like a nudi branch but not sure if it is reef safe... Let see if I can it and take a better pix of it. Thanks

Brand new to the ReefCentral boards and I have to say. this has to be the BEST post I have ever seen. Thank you Mark!

Excellent resource for the beginner and experienced aquarist.

Thank you dxtr. There is a lot of other good information on my site if you have the time. I'm in the process of getting more of my pages uploaded to RC so it can be read here.

awesome thread

 

[melev]

That is great, scrmbld33. I've never seen one before. I'd love to add it to the ID page. What name should I use for the photo credit? What all have you learned about it? Is it reef-safe or something to watch for?

 

[scrmbld33]

well im not sure if they are reef safe or not, i would guess "with caution" there are lots of types of these worms some getting to 100ft, yes 100ft, mine is about 8 inches in the pic, they are very thin, to give contrast of size, in the pic he is on a stryro foam plate, the letters that come imprinted on the plate are in the middle right of the photo, he is very small but stretches quit abit, the worm arrived on live rock from indonesia, he now lives in my fuge, dr.ron pointed me to this site for info on them,

How did you hear about the site? I'm glad you started to find more answers. RC has tons of good people and plenty to learn.

Hey Mark. What router bit did you used to cut the overflow teeths and who or where is carrying it? I used the carbide router bit and it did not cut smoothly. Sometime it chips the plastic.

 

[Sanlynn]

Wow! Just had to say thanks! You are unbelievably generous with your time and resources.

[melev]

<b>Sohal</b> - off topic. It is a laminate trimming router bit. If the bit is dull or if you rush the job, it will chip. If you can manage to blow air on your work area during the routing process that may help. I've never tried.

Thanks, <b>Sandy Lynn</b>.

Hey Melev, great idea - very helpful info here! I have this shot of a little sand star that came in on a piece of LR. I didn't see it when I scanned through your list so I was wondering if you had an ID for me. I am sure it is reef-safe and has been described to me as being a sandsifting star though it spends most of its time on the LR in my tank.

I tried to get a shot of the top but the angle I was shooting at did not permit a clear picture. I'll try to catch him on the LR and get a close up of him from the top.

I also have this particular photo stored in JPG format at 640x477 if you would like to use it for your 'database' I would be more than happy to submit it to you.

Thanks in advance!

That is an asterina, and general considered reef safe. However, if it appears bluish on the top section (the side we can't see in the picture), it may be the species that eats some corals.
