iamborg Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I am new to SW nano tank. Started cycling yesterday but found some strange animal on the LR. Can someone please help me to verify if these are friends or foe. I stopped cycling with this piece of rock. Please let me know. thanks a lot. Link to comment
iamborg Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 Let me be more clear Pic1) A shrimp like creature on the rocks. It is small, and somewhat transparent. It is in the middle, hanging sideways on the rock Pic2) The coral like thing on the lower middle. Just outside the circular shaped rock. It was in the rock, then all of a sudden, it packed up and moved. When it is not moving, it looks like a coral. Pic3) some sort of star-fish. Black-blue-grey in color. Very small. 5 legs. It is flat. In the middle, with one of its leg lifted. Pic5) The same as Pic2. But now different. Please advise. thank you. In this piece of LR, I already took out 2 crabs, 1 matis, 1 other shrimp, 1 clam. I am worry about the rest attached to the LR. thanks Link to comment
lakshwadeep Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 to nano-reef.com pic 1 is an amphipod (harmless) 2 & 5 might be some type of anemone 3 is likely an asterina, but I honestly can't see the outline Can you take some pics underwater?
