| Star Polyps  | Re: Im so a Newbie! Need an ID I also have a confession to make, I am a newb as well. When I first set up my tank, I was so freakin paranoid about everything I did, saw, and what happened. Stressful times those were. I have learned to relax a bit, let nature take its course, and research as much as possible. It makes the experience more enjoyable for me. Also, I have the same growths on my rocks. That sounded funny... but it's true.
