Hey reefers,
I bought a new tank recently and set it up with some live rock. The rock has some small coral patches on it and there are a couple creatures which I need help identifying.
-The first picture is my setup
-The second picture shows a patch of small tree-like coral growing in a patch with green tips.
-The third picture shows a frag at the bottom of my tank with mushrooms(?) and a white living creature on the left side which reacts to movement.
-The 4th picture shows my sea urchin...Wondering what subspecies he/she is.
-In the 5th picture is a white/brown/tan blob which has small glochid-like(plant guy here, it's the best word I can describe them as) spikes at the bottom ; I'm guessing they're used to anchor it.
-The 6th picture is this orange coraline-like stuff on the top of my biggest rock. It glows under the moon light LEDs.
-The last picture shows rust/reddish colored leather-like stuff growing on the side of my biggest rock. Also you can see in the top left of that picture some creature which looks like a mushroom - that was placed there and isn't growing into the rock.
I'm new to the hobby and have NO clue what the heck I have. Any help identifying these beautiful creatures would be much appreciated.
(PS most of the algae has been scrubbed off after I had taken the first picture.)
