Thanks. I'm really new at this, so anything in my tank that I didn't put there worries me. So you'd leave this in the tank and just let it be?
It's a digitate hydroid. That pack a nasty sting.
Looks like sponge growth. Harmless.
Good morning from Germany,
i found this fireworm http://imgur.com/a/Dogp9 when i was feeding my crab and it tried to steal its food, made several pictures of it (altough i need to try making better ones the next days this was only my mobile phone camera).
just want to know which kind of fireworm it is.

It's a bristleworm. Harmless.

Sponges most likely, unless I'm not seeing what you are referring to.
Help Please - mysterious orange strings
Help Please - mysterious orange strings
Hi everyone! What started out as me tolerating the hubby's new hobby, has turned into a contagious addiction...I am amazed by how beautiful and amusing the underwater world is. However, there is so much to learn! Reading all the support that exists in forums is almost as amazing to me; the generosity of everyone here to use their time and energy to help one another is awesome!
Anyway, the reason why I am posting:
In the attached pictures you'll see these orange string/hair/filaments? that are all over our tank. They are on the live rocks and sand (I only took pics of the ones in the sand, can't get a good enough macro shot to clearly show the ones on the rocks.)
We only just set-up this 90gal tank (we purchased the entire system, livestock included from another member earlier this week.) It was running bare bottom before and during the set-up we put in new sand. All the inhabitants seem to be doing okay...fish seem happy and the corals almost look better than when we had first seen them during inspection before the move.
So...what are these orange strings?? They're everywhere..if they are pests...what should we do about them?
Thanks in advanced!
