Full tank pics here

I found some more pictures of a mantis and I'm beginning to think this is one.

I found this lurking in my liverocks shipment and need to know if it is a good hijacker. I already found 1 mantis shrimp, but this looks different. It is blue. Thanks

Thanks, well since I first saw 1 limpet I now see 8 not including this one. Looks like when I get my new rock in and will be in the tank, these will be finding a new home elsewhere.

Well I finally go a better picture of my mystery thing. It looks like a limpet to me under something. Any ideas what this is and if it is good or bad?

Well I finally got a better picture. To me it look like a limpet but what is covering it?

Kevin Thanks, I won't panick until I confirm the ID of this anemone. As for the snail, it is back in hiding. I'll try looking for it with the flashlight when the light go out tonight (how I found it last night). Hopefully it won't be in an odd place so I can get a better pic. Aqua

I upgraded my lights to MH (525W) and PC (260W) last month and some new things started coming out (well I didn't see then before). I've identified some of the critters (limpkin, urchin, feather dusters, pods...I really appreciated the FAQ link). Oh my tank has been up for 6-7 months. The...

Sorry-Wasn't sure where to post it....

OK, here is my problem/project…. Background I have a 175 gallon bow-front Salt Water (SW) tank manufactured by Oceanic Systems. It is an acrylic tank with an acrylic canopy/cap. I have purchased a retro fit kit for the canopy/cap that has 3-175 watt 10K Metal Halide (MH) lamps and 4-65 watt...

I did think about a school of chromis too, how many would be safe? There are so many fish to choose from.

Thanks, I'll have to ask my neice about the Cardinalfish, but she does like the Rabbitfish and angels (yes she is extremely spoiled by me, lol). I like everything you suggested. I didn't think angels and tangs got along, it they do that will make me real happy.

I have a 225 gal FO tank and added fish last month. Since everyone is still alive and my levels are consistently good, I want to start adding more fish. Right now I have 2 Damselfish (3-spot Domino and Blue), 1 Blue Tang (Dori), and 1 HI (yellow) Tang. I have 120 lbs of base rock that is...

Steve and everyone Thanks for the suggestions. I did find some info on lights and I see where I will need a major upgrade in the future when I decide to go reef. I'll just stick with the BR for now. I don't want to kill anything in my tank or introduce problems. Thanks Aqua

So I am looking at 550w of light for a reef tank. Wow nobody told me that one, that seems like a lot of light or is it just the type of bulb. The shop assured me I had sufficient light for LR. That is a little discouraging especially for what I paid for these lights. I hate paying for things...

I have 6 ft (2 96 watt bulds) that isn't enough light or is it the wrong type of light. My tank is lit up like the Las Vegas Strip right now :D. The bulbs are SmartLamp 10,000K Premium-Daylight & Ultra-Acting, the shop said I was OK with lighting? As for the rock, thanks alot for the advice...

Hello I have just set up my first SW tank...well actually barely set up. I have read and researched as much as I can but can't get a straight answer on how little rock I can get away with initially. Right now I have over 2K invested in the hardware (tank, lights, filters, skimmer, heaters...
