Last night my wife called me at the restaurant,she told me there were a bunch of those white hairs again, which seemed to be eminating from the feather duster along with some white "goo". She snapped a bunch of pictures and I'll get them here as soon as I can.

Thank You

I also just read about using lemon juice, which seems to concur. Reading up on these little devils,I came across this : Characteristics: Aiptasia when disturbed eject dangerous white stinging threads, or acontia. (Cut and paste job) I wonder if that was any of the little white hairs I saw the...

I'm getting half-*** tempted to take the rock out of the tank, and chisle off the part of the rock where this thing is growing. I was just reading that using a BBQ lighter and burning the thing for about 20 seconds will also do the trick. How stupid is either idea ?

OK, I think I might. Thanks !

In the middle of the day this stuff appeared in my biocube out of nowhere,and gone before I could snap a pic. (5-10 min) It was 6 or 7 strands of what seemed to be white hair. One or two of them seemed to be attached to the crown of my feather duster,others were clinging to rock. In a few...

Holy Hydrometers ! I just found one of those in my biocube about two weeks ago. Needless to say, he's still around. I didn't give it too much thought till about 7 minutes ago.

I have a regular old Pleco in my freshwater tank (38 gal.). The problem is, is that he's getting WAY to big for the tank. He's about 8 1/2 inches long now. The LFS that I got him from some years ago told me to bring him back and trade him in. What should I ask for, or expect to get for this guy ?

I am about six months new into the saltwater myself. I too have an Oceanic Bio-Cube 14. For questions pertaining to the Bio-Cube itself, as in problems, pros/cons, questions; is this the thread to be asking them ?

Hi gang, I live down here in sunny Florida (AKA God's Waiting Room). I'm originally from Pa. I've got a 38 Gal. freshwater tank that I've had for some years, but my 14g Bio-Cube is my first splash with saltwater. I think I found this site in the "Saltwater tanks for Dummies" book. I'll be...
