Hi, about a month ago I described plans for a 15 gal Nano. http://www.nanotank.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4238&highlight= It is now set up as planned with a few equipment changes. About 25 lb LR and 20 lb LS (50/50 mix of LS and inert aragonite).
Cycle is about done with NH4 and NO2 at zero and NO3 about 5.
I've started noticing hitch hikers. Macro algaes Halimeda and Sargassum and small bivalves of the clam or cockle type in the sand.
There is an orangey-red anenome looking creature living in the stump of an old calcified worm cast. It is extremely sensitive to movement or shadow and disappears back into the old tube like a shot if you pass your hand between the light and the surface. It is too small and badly placed to get a good pic yet for ID. Color seems too bright for the Aiptasia type, I wonder what it is, or even if it is an anenome?
