    Need your opinion on Bristle worms

    I will definitely keep my eye out for webs but until I accidently uncovered him yesterday I didnt even know the thing was in there. Talk about freaking out. Im sifting through the sand to get some algae off my tank and out comes this fleshy colored thing about 2 inches long. My boyfriend says...

    Need your opinion on Bristle worms

    Ok I saw a bit on the ID me worm post but was hopeing for some more info. I cleaned my 20g last night and as I was sifting through the sand this peachy pink colored worm appeared. I sucked him up to get a better look at him. I believe its a bristle worm (my first one in 8 + years of havign...

    fuzzy dark purple growth?

    Not exactly like that but very similar. The coloring is right. Its a little hard to tell from the pic do they open up on one side? Mine dont open up like a mushroom. They are solid. Taller than wide but everything else is the same as what you show. Maybe mine havent grown enough yet to...

    fuzzy dark purple growth?

    sorry to hear about the ricordia. Well maybe I wasnt looking at the right spot in the pic the. It doesnt grow flat along the rock or round like a mushroom it grows more vertical with the fuzzy purple part mostly at the top. Of course the ones I have are fairly small so maybe it looks...

    should I lower my temp?

    Thanks, I turned my heater down a bit last night and I will just have to wait and see what happens. As cold as its been around here it might be enough to lower it just a bit. My house isnt the warmest either all my heat vents are in the ceiling and it makes it difficult to spread the heat...

    fuzzy dark purple growth?

    Thanks for the pic but nope thats not it. It looks sort of like a small Q-tip where the stem is brownish and the top is covered with a dark burgundy/purplish fuzz. I should be getting a digital camera shortly here so I will post a pic when I get it

    should I lower my temp?

    Thanks for the help. I dont have a lot in my tank right now. A yellow tail damsel, a green filefish, a goby (I think, he might be a blenny I cant remember). I have a nassarius and the 2 new margarita snails as well as a few blue leg crabs and maybe a sand sifting star. I havent seen him in a...

    should I lower my temp?

    I think my heater is probably set too high. I live in Michigan so it is quite cold here now and I keep my heater set a bit higher. My LFS has always been pretty good and they havent mentioned that its too high so i never changed it. I will lower it tonight when I get home Ive read that these...

    should I lower my temp?

    My tank is at a steady 82 and has been that way for 1 - 1/2 years. Over the weekend I added 2 margarita snails to my little tank (by the way its 20g long) and after some research I see that they prefer a cooler tank. Has anyone used these little fellows and should I lower the temp in my tank?

    Electric Blue Hermit Crab (dead or alive??)

    dragon79 I too freaked the first time I saw one of my crabs molt. Years ago I had a 60 gallon tank running and had purchased this cool hermit. He had two anemones attached to the underside of his shell and a small pink spotted crab living inside the shell with him. Not bad for $14.95. Anyway...

    fuzzy dark purple growth?

    At the moment I dont have a picture to show so Im hoping someone can give me a place to start with and Id on this. Last night while cleaning my tank I noticed new growth on some of my rock. They are approximately 1/4" oblong and tan/brown color in the center. The outer part is a dark burgundy...

    Wanted to say hello :gh:

    Well as for the sandsifting star Ive had him for over almost 2 years now. He was originally in my 55g long I had but 1 1/2 years ago when I moved he was downgraded to my 20. The bluelegs may still be around I only had 2 that survived the move. I think the others may have been hiding in the CC...

    Wanted to say hello :gh:

    Im obviously new to this site but it seems friendly and helpful. Apparently I've had a nano tank for quite a few years now and never knew it. Ive never even heard the term nano tank before today and didnt really know what it is. I currently have a 20g long tank. I have a mixture of live and...
