I searched all over the internet and this forum but couldn't find any info or matches for what's growing on several pieces of my LR.
At first I thought they were zoas but they are more leafy. They are very small, are green flat and round with a light green almost white center.
Thanks
Thanks for the tips. I've researched on liveaquaria and other sources. I like the chromis and read similar advice but not when starting with less. So it's good to get confirmation on getting one. I thought that 2 different clowns would not do well together?
I have a 29g biocube with stock lighting that is approximately 3 months old. It's currently stocked with
3 red tipped hermits
Turbo snail
Bumblebee snail
3 Astraea snails
Ocellaris Clownfish
Lawnmower blenny
Purple firefish
Peppermint shrimp
Scarlet skunk cleaner shrimp

I believe that they are digitate hydroids :( I've been target killing them with boiling water per advice I've read. I hope it doesn't get out of control and start harming my coral. My tank is only about 2 months old and it would be sad if they take over, especially since this is my first...
They are a zoa covered rock and an alveopora. I just got home and some of the zoas are looking ok. Part of the alveopora has some polyps that are extended a little. Hopefully they will perk up. I understand it can take a few days. The alveopora is going back to the LFS though since I learned...
After dipping new coral in Coral Rx, I accidentally did a quick rinse in plain RO instead of saltwater. I had to leave my house so I'm not sure how they are doing. I'm in a panic though that I might have killed them. Did I?
Hers a pic of the ones that are in my tank. I removed this skeleton but later they showed up on other rocks. I'm not sure if the pic is clear enough to ID but they are about 3" long, a thin as a strand of hair, appear to be white, have smaller feather like strands coming off of the main strand...
I think they are digitate hydroids based on pictures I found on what seem to be reputable sites. And of course the info about what to do or not to do with them is conflicting.
There is so much conflicting information out there making it quite difficult for newbie reefers like me. Plus it's so hard to ID the critters, even with picture references. I researched further and saw some posts on forums that claimed that similar critters were hydroids.
Thanks @mr_x for your advice. They've been plucked, scrubbed and I even put some aiptasia x on just in case. Now it's a waiting game to see if they come back or pop out somewhere else.
@callen I went to my LFS today and they believe I have spaghetti worms. They pointed out some in their tanks and they look the same. I'm not sure if the ones in your tank are as well.
Thanks for the quick reply. So they're bad :( The info on these is all over the place on how to get rid of them. I think they are only on the one rock. If I took it out and bleached the rock would that kill them?
