ID need for many stuff

[SHNICI]

Hi Reefers, Had many stuff with me from friends, but there are too much unknown creatures which can't find what they are, ad at the moment they are in QT xD so I'll post most of the photos (some are on macro), so I'll number them, if you know what can be there let me know PLEASE.

Regards: SHNICI - Georgi

1: Flatworm.

2: Coral or mushroom and name Please:

3: Mushroom:

3: Moss / MacroAlg (it stay like a ball (much bigger version of marimo moss ball:

 

[SHNICI]

4: Polip?

5: Yellow Sponge name:

6: what species is this algae, it's very hard, and it stay as a bush.

Have more stuff / creatures for ID, but I'll show you in the time, because dont want to clog the thread xD

The little green algae ball looks like Chaetomorpha last pic. Dustin

 

[cristata.reef]

Coral/Mushrooms are Ricordea yuma

It's not a Cheato, have it in the refugium, isn't similar to this one, this one (like on the rock) is like a bush (have own root system and it grow on the LF

Coral/Mushrooms are Ricordea yuma

Thank you, have to read about it

you have so much going on here man. hows your display looking

All that creatures are out of the DT, in it the bad think which I have is hair algae, red ciano bacteria(a little bit in the sump-aqua one nano 30L tank), 1 aptasia (again in the sump between the macro algae) and one bristle/fire worm in the DT.., everything else in the DT: hermit crabs red + blue leg and 3th one forgot what's the name of it , tuxedo urchin (which I'll give it to some one probably, because it eat too fast all the new coraline and almost all of the macro algae/plants), cleaner shrimp, sexy shrimp, some briopsis (sorry about the name) and many different species of ****pods.
Red grape macro, shaving brush, many filter feeders worms, mushroom and that's almost all of it..., still I'm cycling (2nd month), before I start to present some corals and other invertebrates.
The stuff which I'm asking and can't find info about are in separate containers, where I do each day 2-3 times 50% water changes, light 12-16 on/off 12-8h (to keep all in good enough condition.
After I finish with the cycling, I'm going to put under-gravel filter (60% of the bottom) with additional pump to clear 1-2 times per week the area under that filter from detritus etc ..., I'll take out and will dip all the LR to clear them from hitchhikers, the bottom yet is covered with crushed clam/oyster etc shelfs (to reproduce much as possible copepods and amphipods. I'll cover it again with that shelfs + all the bottom with almost cycled dolomite gravel(small peaces 1-3mm).
And at the end I'll put in all the LS which I have from the containers, which aren't hitchhikers (which I'm collecting all the possible info about)
Is that sound as a good enough plan for some one who is almost noob/new in the reef keeping ? Who have many many years exp. but only from the fresh water fish (which is almost complete different from the SW tank)... ?

Some Photos:
The DT:

the brown-diatoms gone 2-3 weeks ago, the LR was more greenish too but it's going out too (the CUC take care of it)
(The rock on the back like a cave I make it from many peaces LR)

in the basket are some stuff which I keep away from the Urchin to no destroy them

And this "ball" macro alg "Cladophora prolifera" I think is the name, if I'm wrong let me know Please:

many little creatures and pods will survive there and will reproduce (CUC shortly)

And I'm preparing/adapting one moss ball ( Marimo moss ball )to become salt water plant (some report success of that one)


Let me know what you think about, if you have the passion to read all the above xD , and if have ideas/advise let me know
(soon probably I'll open my own thread about all what I'm doing and what have to done )

P.S. forgot to say about the sponges: yellow, brown-red and orange in/on LR.

 

[SHNICI]

I'm still looking for ID about the flat worm from the 1st post..., can't find it..., because some of them are good for the DT...

 

[reef lover]

Looks like retrogamma planaria...i would remove.

I'm still new at this but here's my $0.02

The mushroom and ricordea look bleached. I don't know how likely they are to recover.

You're not likely to get a name for the yellow sponge - there are just too many that look very similar.

The ball macroalgae might be Cladophora - check out this link: https://www.live-plants.com/cladophora.htm. Or https://www.kpaquatics.com/product/toadstool-algae/ (same species, different pictures).

The mushroom it's in almost perfect condition, it's yellow something mushroom, under blue light it show all it's colours fine (forgot it name, but it look the same always, and when I bought it and check it on the web it's the same). And YES, I'm still looking for it name, to can prepare it properly and to give it the right parameters (light, flow, elements in the water, food (if need) etc ....)
The ricordea you probably are right, because isn't in proper tank, under proper conditions, there isn't flow (which is bad for it, but there on that peace of rock are other stuff which I have first to identify and some polyps which I don't want to loss), probably Sat-Sunday I'll take care of it.
About the sponge ok, probably in the near future will be able to find it.

Thank you for the macroalgae, I'll look at it after few hours.

ok, then there isn't nothing else on that LR which I need to ID xD, then can go forward with it, DIP it, clean it from the hair algae and I'll prepare it for the DT.

Thank you mates, I'm still very new on the salt/reef tank stuff..., but I'm spending enough time in reading and learning Probably soon I'll be ready to come with ready DT

Hello,
@KJ #reefsquad

Please help for the 1st here, the worm, if need will do more photos, just can't match it with this one "retro gamma planaria" like @reef lover say.
I saw the worm/planaria to be on the sides only in the container, and on the hair algae there (it's really much hair algae there), it look like it feed on it but I'm not completely sure, there have 2 species of sponges (on the rock), Ricordea yuma like @Sonofives say, some star polyps, and few other creatures. I put there and red flat worm to test what they will do, the green worm just run away when the flat worm go close to it., in the box have 5-7 from this worms, they look like appear from the back side of the worm (not sure how is the name of that type of "spawning". And actually the new "born" come from the back side where is the red square/circle/dot, so from that tail come almost always 2 new worms from both of the sides of the tail.
Please I have to know really before I get rid of them / kill them.

Best Regards: SHNICI - Georgi

Look at Convolutriloba sp.

Thank you!!!
Its Convolutriloba macropyga for sure, it mach all the details, now I'm reading about it, because some one say it's algae eater (like I saw it on the hair algae), and from there it's the green-brownish colour on my one.
@KJ what do you can advise me ? Keep it and transfer it in to the DT ? If it's bad algae eater.., mean after the algae gone, the worm will gone too, but during it will help to reduce the hair algae which I have in the DT (it's not much, but I keep it for feeding my CUC team), but still can't find the right info about it, and if after the bad algae go on new polyps and soft corals.., then I'll be in trouble ...

 

[KJ]

Don't transfer to DT, It would be more harm then good ,get a couple of good snails and blue tuxedo urchin to take care of your algae. The flat worms are just a big headache in your tank. KJ

Ok, @KJ I have already all that in the nano (much more than what can need), only the tuxedo urchin I'll take off and I'll give it to some one, just because the coraline algae and most of the macro algae which I put/"plant" there for good looking scape can't grow fast enough, all from the beginning (before the urchin was well going, but the tuxedo urchin just in 7-10 days eat most of the stuff in. 6 conus like basic turbo snails, 2 mexican turbo, 2 nasarius, 4 gravel snails (forgot them name), 6 hermits + red leg + blue leg.., hundreds of copepods, 30+amphipods, skunk cleaner shrimp, sexy shrimp (tomorrow I'll get another 2)...., and all that in 30L only tank.
So thinking about that flatworms..., really I don't need them, can you advise me for something else CUC ? (excluding urchins, which are really beautiful, but troubles I have with them ..)
