Don't know if it's against the rules to post fresh water..

MissReefer and I found these two little gems a couple weeks ago. If goldfish without eyes isn't creepy I dont know what is!

 

[red88rick]

Sure is creepy. Especially that pic

 

[frankyrivera]

Ooh

 

[PL-Reef]

That is definitely creepy.

 

[Tweaked]

Ya, I got nothing. However, every time I try to take a pic, my Purple Tang manages to picture bomb me. Here I was trying to get some of my ReefGen Gonis in a shot, and later when I looked back... the phantom menace

 

[CJSherman456]

HaHa Tweaked that pictures sweet.

 

[red88rick]

I like that one Pat i have noticed he like photos.

 

[phillrodrigo]

My scopas does it also

 

[ca1ore]

Creepy is tough (unless we're talking about a photo of me :lol. Here is all I have, though it fails the 'recency test'.



Rescued this YT from a tank with a major fin rot problem. Nursed it back to health but the fins never grew back. Creepy looking fish.

 

[red88rick]

Iv been to a few places that I could have taken a pic on the tanks and prob won this contest. They had some creepy algee and all kinds of other pests.

Well if this isn't creepy, I dunno what is... We all know about dipping and looking for pests, and I saw the next meeting is about all sorts of pesky buggers... Here's another one that isn't commonly seen!

I put this frag in with this guy just to show the size, it didn't come on that coral. I found a couple on the base of a colony at a friends who imports, took them home to get the pics. Freaky.

 

[red88rick]

Ya this is what I figured I would see some creepy in a bad way pics. And great considering our next meeting. Never seen these. Should have took a pic of my zoas before I dipped them for algea. That was creepy.

**%*^%+% at Salty Walter. I looked these up after you were over, and the info was from like 2009 and nothing since. I sure hope you haven't stumbled onto a new outbreak.

Yeah I had to dig but I found quite a few threads on other forums about them. luckily they die easy in any coral dip, and pretty easy to eradicate. No outbreak worries.

I didnt even notice, but I see what you mean, i think its just the picture. I didn't find anything on that piece. It was fresh off a colony, could be banged up a little from shipping too.

 

[suicideissleep]

I would freak out over a outbreak of them woukd be worried they could get out fudge that cookie
