Does the red thing go farther into the rock? If so, it is a cucumber. They're all over the rocks at my grandparents.

[jeremai]

It is sessile, lives in the scaley red bump - definitely not a cucumber.

Awesome pics Jere! Luvin' it!

[adinsxq]

what are you currently feeding the tank?

 

btw: garibaldi! http://reefhotspot.com/store/product_info....roducts_id=1887

[sandlot13]

some amazing shots jeremai! i really like this tank alot!

[jeremai]

I feed each of the Urticinas a half cube of frozen Formula One a couple times a week. The Metridium gets a shot of zooplankton mixed with powdered Cyclo-peeze, and everything else picks at the leftovers. I tried feeding mysis cubes, but they float and the 'nems have trouble holding ont o them once they start breaking up.

 

That garibaldi is amazing - for a few weeks, till it grows big and starts tossing things around my tank like an oscar. How odd that they would have them. Must have been collected from Baja.

[clifford513]

Yeah, they get huge! All the pics I viewed show them not as colorful as the one in the link. Great juvenile colors.

[nano_reeflover]

Hey can you send me the link to the Yahoo group that you got the livestock from?

[jeremai]

Sure, let me find it...

 

Edit: here.

Hey jere,

can you maybe help w/ an ID of this anemone i got... it was free.. to me it looks somewhat like a coldwater species.... pics on this page at the bottom, it is orange based, with orange and black 'tenticles':

[jeremai]

Could be an Urticina, maybe U. eques, hard to tell. Keep feeding it, see how it does. I don't know anything about tropical anemones, so I'm not sure if there are any rarely collected anemones like yours. Did you ask where the shipment originated?

[Fishfreak218]

no, he thought it was 'majano' and it was on a peice of caulerpa

I apologise, you were right. I got a positive ID; read here for more info.

[deacon hemp]

Its a type of sea cucumber......Does the base look like a chitton?

[jeremai]

I haven't tried to peel it off the rock to check. Already got the ID, click the link above.

[deacon hemp]

Yup creeping petal......It was racking my brain earlier. Your tanks kill.

[jeremai]

I'M UNDER ATTACK!!!

 

 

 

Probably over a foot long, all told.

 

It will be hard to sleep tonite...

[clifford513]

Wow! Was it going after anything in particular?

 

My colors off. Is it a peanut worm?

[jeremai]

Just inching around, then dug into the sand. No idea what it is.

[clifford513]

I bet it is getting hungry. Hope you can get an id.

[RayWhisperer]

Ooooo, I've got something similar to that in one of my NC's,,,,

Shiney tan color, segmented, about 10"long (no, not mt tool, you perv's!), with all kinds of tentecle things around the mouth. Mine is very quick though.

[Mickle]

I have some in my 3 gallon, only 2" long seem to travel backwards and alot lighter in colour... Awsome tank btw

[clifford513]

The tentacles around the mouth are what made me think it might be a peanut worm. Awfully big though. I will have to research. Does seem to be missing the "peanut" though?!

[ChrisS]

I have that exact worm in my seahorse tank. Posted about it on another site and got an ID of peanut worm.

 

I've seen mine strech about 5 inches and some of it was still in the rock. It mostly just comes out at night and hasn't hurt anything in the tank.

[jeremai]

Yeah, this thing has some sort of sucker-type mouth - it was sticking to the glass and I saw it quite clearly. I wouldn't be worried if I knew what it was, but it could be anything considering where the rocks came from; unfortunately a resemblance to a tropical worm species doesn't help me much.
