I was sittin staring at my tank tonight, all it has is uncured live rock lol. But i noticed a little thing growing on top of the rock, there like single white/yellowish tentacles or branchs as the go out in a perfect circle. Its that small there wouldnt be much point in taking a photo u wouldnt see it lol.

Im 100% sure cause if anything gets close to the tentacles or sensors or what ever u call them, they retract an disappear. They form a flat circle with the outter edges bending upwards

Whilst I class myself as a newbie, I did have a reef tank many years ago, but have forgotten most of what I learned. I do recall sitting in front of the tank for several hours watching all sorts of things crawl around, pop in and out and swell up, when all I had was my live rock. Some of these things were about 12 inches long with hundreds of legs.

Sadly (or maybe not, I really don't know) when I set my tank up this time, there was no such interesting life to be seen.

The guiness will have no affect on them so save it for yourself. lol

MrB · 12-18-2007, 09:05 PM

Maybe it's in there. Sounds like the smaller version of the christmas tree worms and feather dusters.
