Id?????

[Sinistard]

I have no idea what this is. This picture shows what I think is around half of whatever this thing is. The rest is on the underside of the rock. It has moved in and out a bit. I don't see any eyes/mouth so this could be the back side.

 

Any idea

 

Thanks

Sinistards pic is a chiton.

[Sinistard]

Thanks lgreen

 

It does look like a chiton. It has no shell.

 

It's crazy I have had the tank for 7 months and I'm still finding new stuff that I did not add.

[lgreen]

well it does have a shell you just can't see it.

[FragMaster]

Yep Your right Lgreen. (Late night) LOL!

[Caesar777]

Sure, late at night. It's a chiton. Harmless, too.

wow those are small. Nathan what do you do, stare at your tank all day? How did you see those guys? LOL. JK

 

Hey, how's that tank comming along? Or have you set it up yet?

[Sinistard]

This one was kind of big, I saw it from across the room when I was walking by Well big as in 1/2" Anyways whats wrong with staring at a glass box in the dark or.. in the day.... or well all day long

 

Unfortunaty the tank was to big, it looked really bad where I was going to put it and there is no other good place to put it in my house. I am selling the 55g and getting something a bit smaller. If you know anyone that wants a 55g and stand let me know.

 

Thanks again everyone for the ID

Bummer man. But now you can get a wider tank so you can put more coral in per square inch, muhahahaaaa....

 

Did you go in on some lord polyps with cora? they were talkin about spending $100 on a polyp, which sounded kinda dumb in my book. roesmarineworld.com has some OK colonies for $8 a polyp. LOL. I'm a cheap arse though

[Sinistard]

Yup wider is better. I think I'm going to get a custom acrylic around 30-40g depending on how much the tank will cost. I'm going to try to get something one 250w MH will be enough for.

 

I did go in on it, we are getting a green w/ purpleish ring one for 40 dollars a polyp. Still high but not 100 per polyp. I got 2 polyps. I've got more money then sense well make that more plastic then sense:

haha. i hear that. my tank investments are on hold while i search for and buy a Mac ibook.

I'm going to PM you about what happened to Aaron (AquaBeast) on RC. I haven't talked to him lately.
