squirrelieygrrrl Posted August 21, 2008 Author Share Posted August 21, 2008 i think its a type of sea squirt. and YES! you are impatient. edit: its mostly clear, except for the top siphon actually has a neon green ring around it. i couldnt seem to capture it with my camera tho, you can kind of see it in the first and second pics.

lakshwadeep Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 oh. lol, ok then. i guess i have been corrected, again! neat picture tho huh? Yes! Especially since they are chordates and more closely related to humans (and fish) than sponges or corals. Link to comment

ddr_phish Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Hey where is the Nepthea shot? FTS? Oh serious question here, what happened to your Mojano Anemone? Is it still in your tank? GIMME THE DOWLOWN! Link to comment
squirrelieygrrrl Posted August 22, 2008 Author Share Posted August 22, 2008 first! you tell me the definition for DOWLOWN! lol, josh for some reason your always one step ahead of me! right as my pics are uploading to my pc, you pop in and ask! from this moment on i officially dub you mr. impatient, your poor wife. ill do the nepth shots tomorrow, cuz my lights just shut off as i was snapping an fts, trying to take a shot of that nepth in the actinics where its placed is near impossible. the majano is still there, and has not moved or budded off another. ive got it in a place where i can keep an eye on it tho. now for the fts. not many changes tho, just a little rearranging of the upper rocks to accommodate the new zoas, the hitchhiker psammocora is still the same way it was when i posted that last pic of it. i dunno if its doin ok, or not so much. theres not alot of info out there on that species.
