    Anyone know this algae?

    Anyone seen this type of algae before? Doesn't seem to be spreading or anything, but it's the first kind to grow other than coralline. The fish and cleanup crew seem to eat everything else. Any info is appreciated. Thanks

    OT: Broke 20,000 karma! What now?

    I heard a rumor on here that I get a new car? What kind? I hope it's a prius. I need something that I can affordl to drive. Unless it's one of those cars that run on french fry oil. Which in all thought would be very annoying since I might not want fries when I smell them. Like what if it's...

    Frogspawn babies.

    Something new for me. I've had my branching frogspawn multiply by splitting polyps. Had it for about 9 months, (no really) and it's gone from 1 polyp $12 to four polyps. Now I noticed I have baby polyps sprouting from the base. There are about 3 or 4 underneath the big polyps. Too cool. I...

    Eeeeewwwww! It's in my tank.

    Anybody know this guy? Him and his buddies smuggled themselves past security on a green star polyp colony. Picked 3 this size. 1cm long and about a dozen white juveniles. Before anyone suggests a freshwater dip forget it. They're impervious. Left it in a cup of FW for like 5 mins and then put...

    Urchin I.D. please.

    This guy came in on a rock with some red macro algae. He is currently cooling his jets in my QT tank. Any chance he/she is reef safe? I've been looking on line for an hour and the best I could come up with was Eucidaris Metularia? But could not find info on them. It seems like algae eater...
