Vinny B Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 hello, new here on NR but not to reefing, i recently set up a 20L nano and its going through its cycle. i got some cured live rock from the LFS. now i thought i had some coralline algae already growing on the back glass as it looked identical to some, but the next morning i turn on the lights and it was gone as i looked around for it or any other possible growths. i see that it has moved to the front of the glass. i did some research but could not find much, looks like a massive amoeba ( penny sized)...i was wondering if this were reef safe er not...any one else have experience with this or should i flush it? any help would be appreciated
Vinny B Posted January 27, 2011 Author Posted January 27, 2011 pictures would sure help i would be more than happy to supply pictures but i cant get a good one of it . it is in a spot were it can not be photographed. alls im sayin is it looks identical to coralline algae but moves like an amoeba

GokesReef Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Flatworm, nudibranch, other slug of some sort.. start googling and see what you can find.
