Felicia Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Yep, appears to be tunicates. Cool hitchhikers! They're filter feeders, so they probably appreciate the feeding you do for the NPS gorgonians and flame scallop. http://depts.washington.edu/fhlk12/links/StudentProjects/Tun.biology.html 2 1 Quote Link to comment

In a way it looks like how eggs might be laid. Sort of like little broken egg sacs. But still most likely tunicates. They look pretty similar to the ones in the link you provided. 5 hours ago, spectra said: Ever see aliens remember what came out of those eggs That's what I was thinking when I saw it too. You don't have any pods in there that look like this, do you? 3 Quote Link to comment

Plus water if you can find it to have extra. But definitely the air pump, preferably one per tank. Quote Link to comment

The 14 will hopefully have an air pump if I can track down some C batteries, and frozen water bottles. Ugh! IRMA 2 Quote Link to comment

The big a/c unit just across the hallway had broken and flooded our part of the floor. I joked that apparently you can stop a Trane. 2 3 Quote Link to comment
lkoechle Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 @Pjanssen ARE YOU READY FOR THIS PUTA?! Seriously. Final countdown. Praying a good dry weekend for you. My mom is making a break for Jacksonville tonight and she is riding it out at my house which seems like the safest out of our Florida options. Our 6 hour drive took 11 hours with traffic so I told her to stay at my house instead of risking getting caught in traffic trying to go further north. I am pretty sure she will be good there. and free tank sitter! woot! lol Seriously, hope yall stay safe and dont experience any major damage. And I will to not piss off my step mother Irma any more... So sorry. 5 Quote Link to comment

Looks like its weakening a bit though by the time it gets up here. She is coming from DeLand. So smack dab between Daytona and Orlando. she is leaving tomorrow morning. I hope it isnt too late. I warned her about traffic. We did 11 miles in an hour yesterday. It could turn her two hour drive to a 4 to 6 hour drive. Ours went from 6 to 11 hours. o.O But she knows all the back roads so she is aiming on staying off the highways. 1 Quote Link to comment
