Alright so basically I have a 125 gallon which is strictly for my porcupuffer so I'm not new to the saltwater game. However, when it comes to dealing with live rock and the hitchhikers that come with it I'm lacking quite a bit of knowledge. Plus in my 125 I have never experienced this brown laying on top of the sand I'm assuming it could be a lack of water flow but any input would be nice. I'm two weeks into the cycle and just want to make sure everything is going smoothly water parameters are all fine except I've had a boost in nitrates recently which I'm pretty sure is normal at start up. Also if anyone knows what the small anemone looking things growing off the live rock at please share what they are called! So far I have spotted a hermit crab, bristleworms and these little bugs that creep into the crevices in the rock.
