That could be it too! I just havent seen him since i bought it a couple months back.

Thanks so much for all that help guys! I do use RO water along with the saltwater i buy from my LFS. One thing comes to mind when reading all of your reponses. I have never thought to test the water i buy from the LFS. I know how to test the saltwater, but what would i test for in the RO...

Hey everyone! Forgive me but im still somewhat of a beginner when it comes to water conditions and fixing them. Ive got a bit of aa problem and it annoys the heck out of me. I have this red slime algae thats growing on my live rock and taking over my green star polyps. No matter how much i get...

Thanks so much for the advice! I will definitely try out these methods for breaking the rock. I did keep it out of water for about a full day, but then I realized that I could possibly save it so I put it back in water in my old tank. Keep in mind this water has been without filtration for a...

I just recently took down my 30 gallon saltwater tank and transferred all my live rock, corals, and livestock into a 14 gal. bio-cube. Now I was able to transfer almost all of my live rock into the cube, except for this one big piece. This big piece is covered in purple and has been in my 30...

Gotcha....lol!!

Thanks for that...but is there a more particuliar name to it or is it just a plain old sponge?

Ive had this live rock for about 1 1/2 years now and then these blue guys started growing out of them. I have no idea what they are or what they're called and really want to know what they are called. Can someone else out there help me out and identify them??

My name is Bill, but some call me Billy....your choice!! :D I come from the O.C. in sunny southern California! To be more exact, I live in Yorba Linda (birthplace of Richard Nixon :lol: ). Im 28 years old and love marine life! I have been playing around with freshwater fish since I was a...

Yea...it could very well be shrimp then. It ran so fast, it was hard to get a good look at it. Being that it was still so small...it just made it that more difficult. But thanks for all the responses that I got from you all...it is very much appreciated!! That is the coolest thing I have ever...

Yup! Thats about the only time I see them is when I come home and all the lights are all off. Im assuming they can only hide for so long once they grow bigger, right? Oh...one more thing to add. I found something else living in my rocks. It ran too fast for me to give an explanation. For what I...

I myself have picked up a sea hare just for that reason. I had a huge algae problem in my tank. Not sure if it was called hair algae, but it was brown in color and it did resemble hair in a way. The sea hare did a great job with eating up all the algae, although it did have help from a couple of...

LOL!! For sure man...from the help I've gotten here I will definitely be willing to hand some out. I found more last night when I came home from work. I have quite a few lurking around in there. When they grow I will take some pictures and offer some out.

Yup...they're definitely brittlestars! I was just amazed at how many I saw in my tank last night. I had seen one before and never really thought anything of it. But last night I saw at least 6 of them. They're actually kind of neat looking! So basically they will eat up whatever food lands on...

Okay, I figured it should be something like that. I mean they look like just like little starfish. You also just answered my question on what kind of starfish I was trying to think of all night...LOL! I guess just always thought that I would have to have had starfish previously to have baby...
