I bought a 9 lb LR a few weeks ago and noticed an organism that kind of looked like gristle on it. It is white and at the time had nubbs on it. Then in the water it started to show pink spots in the indents of all but two nubbs. Today these nubbs seem longer. The tops (with the dots) open up...

Found this worm this morning. I removed it from my aquarium as soon as I took the video. It was heading for the sand bed so I figured I'd better remove it quick. Does anyone know what it is and if it is harmfull or not. I also removed a tiny one that was between a 8th and a 16th of an in...

I bought a couple LR about 2 weeks back and have noticed their share of hitch hikers. In one rock there is a small bivalve. It is white and some what jagged. I only noticed today it is opening its shell to feed on the Kent's micro vert I squirt into my aquarium. I am wondering if I should...

Today I bought 9 lbs of LR and placed them in my 55 gallon aquarium. Then I noticed about a dozen Aiptacias on them. I don't want to use boiling water w/ lemon juice and my Peppermint Shrimp numbers went from four to one due to a curious six line wrass and my scarlet cleaner shrimp (who has...

Today I bought 10 lbs. of LR that is covered in red coraline algae. When I got it home and put it in my 55 gallon long aquarium I spotted up to 4 hitch hikers. One snail, Two thin long legged white seastars and a pink worm. I called a pet supply store I often go to confused on what to feed...

I bought some LR a while back and noticed a white tubular thing on it. It seemed lifeless so I thought it was nothing. Then today I noticed that it has these hair/cilia-like things coming out the end. When I desturbed the tank by opening the cover alone those hairs disappeared. It keeps...

My 55 gallon long aquarium has been going for about two and a half months now. The algae phase is in full gear. Unfortunately the chemistry is not at a healthy level. The ammonia is 0, Ph is 7.8 (consistantly), Nitrate is 40, and the Nitrite is 5. I mess w/ the tank at first (oops). I ahve...
