I was re-arranging LR when I got the piece and noticed them so I grabbed my mom's eyebrow tweezers, without her knowledge
... and picked em off. They were still putting up a fight out of the water :eek2:demonboy279

It's important to inspect any addition to your tank ... I've learned my lesson by catching it

hahahha Pacific ... my mom + computer is equivalant to drinking + driving! I snickered though when I saw her plucking her eyebrows It would have been really funny if I left one of those stuck to the tip of the tweezers :lol: She'd really freak out :eek2:
... I was glad to catch those guys ... but they don't move like real spiders, fast that is. Instead they are sluggish and they like to be stuck to LR so they won't let go making them an easy target but they'll still try to get away ... I figured however sooner or later they would end up as chow for my 6-Line Wrasse.
... As I said before check your new stock before putting it in!

Any idea what model Number this skimmer may be or tank capicty, I belive it to be A "E.T.S.S." the only dimensions I have are 24" H x 10.5" W. and not sure if the 24" H is to the collection cup or the injector tube. Also any reccomendations on pump size I would prefer to go with A mag series pump.

Marc, great page. I am new and have yet to purchase my tank. Just reading and reading, making sure that I am ready to jump in. Still stuck between small or big to start. Thanks...

Cherie,
[welcome]
It comes down to size/space, and how much money you have to spend. I had a 29g for 7 years, but some prefer to start with 120g due to the water volume (more stability and room for error). Keep up the good work, as reading will benefit your livestock always.

We had a tank donated to our classroom in June. There was a stick that seemed to have something small and unusual on it at the move, and so I stuck it on top of a rock and now 4 months later, this is what is there. It seems to have one central mouth, but it doesn't seem to be a normal mushroom guy. Any idea? It's almost the size of a nickel and very florescent.

That looks like a single polyp of Candy Cane to me. Here's a larger piece.
From my site:
<i>Neon green Candy Cane corals add some eye candy to a reef tank. This is an LPS (large polyped stony) coral, which when cared for properly will continue to grow and split, making new heads. Essentially a night feeding coral, short tentacles extend to trap any food in the water column. Under actinic lighting, these corals glow brightly. Good water quality is a must. LPS corals need calcium so they can continually build the base structure. Fragging this coral is possible by carefully breaking the branches at the base.</i>
