Looks like closed up zoanthids to me.

Here's a little video. I'll try to make a better one next time.  I think it's a green star polyp.

That's what I get for guessing.

It was a good guess! That is some serious stretching GSP polyps! Mine barely pop out of the mat.

[Lula_Mae]

Haha I definitely see the GSP-ness of it now.

Haven't seen the pom pom crab since I put it in the tank.  Might be hiding in the live rock.

that is normal, keep an eye out when feeding after a few days then it should come out of hiding.

[Geek]

Thanks I'll keep an eye out for it. Made a little video of the coral. Going to chill and play some video games now that the kids are sleeping plus I'm off work tomorrow.

very nice. GSP is like Xenia, most hate it due to fast growth. Me? I see a trade in free frag machine and a beautiful coral with lots of motion in the current

Pom poms tend to like to hide in overhangs--if you have spots where two rocks come together, look closely for a little cryptic crab and you might see it.

Pom pom crab was out last night looking around when the lights were out. Put a little brine shrimp in today hopefully it'll eat. 

[Lula_Mae]

I got some Hikari crab pellets that my last pom pom really loved.

[yungKitten]

GSP looks happy :]

When should I do another water change?

As a rule of thumb, 10-20% once a week is a good habit to get into.

[Geek]

Cool thanks, took a little video of the pom pom crab. It's always hiding out so can't get a good one.

 

 

[Geek]

Got this in today. Now I need to figure out where I'm going to put it. Have any ideas?

Back wall so it doesn't obscure your view

[Geek]

Should I get a yellow clown goby?  I'll probably wait a few more weeks to get one if I do. 

[Lula_Mae]

You can do up to 100% changes every week if you match temp and salinity. If you get a YCG make sure it's plump and eating.  They are notorious for being hard to get eating.

Be warned, I had one for about a month before it suicided onto my carpet.

What is the minimum tank size for nemo? I'll shut down my 5.5g if I have to just to get one for my boys.

I think 10 gallons for a single clown is doable. 

[Geek]

Yeah I'll just keep going with this tank and forget about nemo. Yeah I like the orange on it but yellow clown gobys are nice looking too.

I know it's not reef related but I was pretty stoked, scored me some free comics today and added more to my collection.
