Lugmos12 Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 I'm currently cycling a tank with live sand/rock and I've spotted some life in the tank. I have no idea what they are except for a feather duster I saw earlier today. I've attached a picture below; the blue is part of the sand; the little life form is dark yellow/brown with the dark strip running down the middle. Quote Link to comment

Looks like a baby bristleworm. 1 Quote Link to comment

Clown79 Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 When you use liverock, the coolest thing is all the critters you can get immediately. If you get s magnify glass, you will have loads of fun sitting in from of your tank just searching and seeing all sorts of stuff. Quote Link to comment

Clown79 Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 My first reef tank I spent hours with my face plastered to the tank just searching for little things. I loved the tiny feather dusters. I once had a tiny jellyfish. It was adorable. At night with moonlighting it can get interesting. Quote Link to comment

Lugmos12 Posted July 9, 2017 Author Share Posted July 9, 2017 Okay I think I spotted a tiny tiny shrimp. It's white with black bands across the body. Super tiny Maybe 1/4 of an inch. Also spotted two tiny stringy looking worm-things - maybe 1/4 inch in size - they're floating around and they twitch Quote Link to comment
