00W's AIO Smorgasbord

Duncan looks happy to me, is leave it be. As long as one of the torches isn't Aussie, they can all be together though!

Thank Tim, they are really happy, but I was thinking on the future but It's true, why get ahead of what may or may not be future problems hahaha, thanks

That's what I was thinking, the duncan has 4 new heads coming and the Torches are growing quite a bit.

They look great Luis! The movement should look great over there!

Anyone have any idea what this is? I noticed it behind my aio wall in the first overflow chamber. I think i see about 5 of them in there

What is that!! A R2R guide to common new tank hitchhikers.

One of the greatest things about starting a reef tank is getting your live rock in and admiring all the diversity within it. The rock comes to life different creatures. This is a guide that I, along with a very well known critter identifier @KJ , have put together for the new reefer on what...

That is an awesome article Luis. Thanks man. I guess mine looks the most like a pineapple sponge.

I'm really bad at identifying things John.
Always have been.
Tim will know.

Thanks Joel. I believe my lfs had some of these in their overflow too. I'm hoping they aren't too terrible lol.

Lots of good window reflection here....

I don't believe it's a pineapple sponge. I agree with Amanda that it's a sponge other than pineapple. It's probably not going to be identified further without pics under the microscope. Sponges are beneficial to your tank so they're noting to worry about.

Not a Pineapple Sponge. Not sure, but it is likely a sponge or colonial tunicate. Maybe some sort of sea squirt.

 

[luis angel]

not the scoly I wanted at first but one I couldn't pass up for the price hahah, button scoly, green and pink

Good filter feeder most likely. It'll either grow or die. If it starts getting huge, be prepared to run some granulated carbon to remove any toxins that could be harmful to corals/fish. I have lots of different sponges in my tank - even transferred a Black Liver Sponge from the 125 on purpose.

 

[luis angel]

I think it's because of a lack of flow in that space, but what do you all think? Or could it be something else? I have another extra nero 3 there for if necessary

You might have a few issues here and there after transferring everything over so a little more flow there would be good.
It's new sand too so rake it with your hand gently.

That is awesome tim. Thanks my friend. It seemed benign at first glance but you never know with these hitch hikers. It's a very cool experience.

I appreciate you looking at it Tim. You guys have taught me so much

That's an awesome scoly! I can't wait to see it hit the reef man, good job.

@luis angel Wait until you see that feeding reaction after the lights go out. I turn on my blues after lights out when it starts opening up and catch a quick Pic! It'll be interesting to see what color the inside is.
