acidlittle Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 I have 2 little things on a piece of live rock, to me they really resemble tiny valve type things that you would find in ones heart, i can't get a picture of them because they are small. They are approximatly 2mm in size and have an oblong shape with holes at both ends, all they do is expand and contract, they don't migrate at all just sit there and poof up and deflate. I would like to know what they are if anybody can help i would greatly appreciate it. Link to comment

jenniebutterfly Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 friend, i have tons of them, you can find info in the last paragraph on this page http://www.reefs.org/hhfaq/pages/main_page...s/faq_rock3.htm, it states that they are hard to keep alive in the home aquarium, but i had 2 come in on a mushroom rock that are bright red, i have had them for a few months, and i have some rather plain ones that started growing on different rocks, all are alive and well jen Link to comment

BKtomodachi Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Sure! Not really good, not really bad... adds variety though. Link to comment
