Thanks, that makes me feel better. I'm going to leave it alone and let it settle in.

Bought this toadstool 2 days ago and it is placed in moderate light and high flow. From the front, it seems healthy, all the little tentacles have popped out, but the stalk is totally bent over. Is this normal or should I worry? I had read that they like high flow, but could it have too much...

Thanks for the urchin advice :) How long do you have to wait before adding one?

Have a 29 gallon cube with 25lbs of lr. It has 2 ocellaris clowns, a shark nose goby, 5 smaller snails, a turbo, one emerald crab and 5 red leg hermits. I also have one zoanthid. Everyone seems to be healthy and happy. Can I add more fish? What are suggestions for relatively easy to care...

Well, I got it out and put it in the qt tank. It appeared to be living in the zoanthid.

No refugium, but I have a qt tank that I could pop it in. I probably would have done that if I could have gotten to it quick enough. After I snapped the picture, it disappeared. I'll search for it again when I get home.

Can't be bad, can it? I've never heard of a snail that wasn't reef safe. I could be totally wrong about that, though.

Just found this on my zoas. What in the world is it? Will I keep finding hitchhikers for the rest of my life?

Thanks, it's my first coral in my first saltwater tank, so a lot of things are still mysterious to me :). Now my little frag is happily nestled in the lr.

I have a zoanthid in my tank for a month and just moved it to the sandbed two nights ago when I had to move some rocks around to isolate a sick fish. Today, I found a piece had fallen off into the sand. Is this normal or did I damage it during the move. Can I pick this piece up and set it on...

Well, unfortunately, she didn't survive the day.

Sadly, she didn't make it :(.

I guess I might have to accept that the clowns were to blame, but I have a hard time believing it. They never seemed aggressive and I spend a lot of time watching tank. Could she have been damaged by the red leg hermits or the one emerald crab? The damage seemed to get worse during the night...

I hope she makes it, too. I posted a sick fish thread to see if anyone has any advice.

Here's a closer pic of her tail
