Metatrone-oz Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Hi Guys, I've been cycling for only a few days with live rock and NSW. I've got some good hitchhikers like Abalone, Micro Brittle starfish, copepods, 1 crab with yellow dots on his claws and I'm quite confident I have a pistol shrimp somewhere as I can here it "click". Now I can't work out if this is a Mejano or something else: (I will have to remove it) Also I found this little guy this morning, any idea? : Thank you for any help Link to comment
Muraki Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Looks like a Mejano to me, The second one is hard to tell. Can you get a better picture? Link to comment
amphipod Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 First isn't a majano ( possibly not even an anemone), maybe after school (3:00) I'll get researching. Second one could be several things, how quickly does he move? Does he extend and contract? And does he have a proboscis? Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 First one might be a feather duster, try to google Image one to see if they're similar. Second photo at first glance looks like a flatworm, which can be dangerous or helpful depending on the species. Link to comment
ReefWeeds Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 First one looks like some kind of polyp to me actually. Link to comment

He doesn't move very quickly but has changed many time places around the same area of the rocks. Doesn't look like to have a proboscis. It doesn't really do much at the moment. I just want to make sure I won't let anything nasty grow from the start tho. I'll keep an eye on it to see how he'll expand. Link to comment
amphipod Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I'm thinking a sort of aocel flatworm, photosynthetic detritivores Link to comment
