I priced all the parts and pieces to assemble a light from commercial grade parts and the cost was only slightly less after I found the correct spectrum bulb and balast to power it, that turned my idea down since I then need to assemble the unit, protect the parts from corrosion and make it...

Nereis limbata; try this link! Phylum Annelida - Gulf Specimen Marine Laboratories

These are indeed quite common, ordinary hitch hiking feather dusters. quite often the tube is actually in the rock to make the animal feel even safer. both are quite beneficial to a natural reef.

cancel payment and donate to my LFS. different conditions might apply depending on specific situation.

I should leave this alone since there is realy no answer but... with perfect conditions such as food and environmental concerns. After the first 3-6 months a great deal of fish will double in size annually for the first few years till they reach adulthood, some slow down and some stop and start...

it looks like it's secreting a slime coat or other type of protective excretion, I don't have much of a brain for brains though you might want to look into what type of protective chemicals a brain releases perhaps it's waging war with some less conspicuious coral in the tank. Somethings...
