Thanks Jenna! That is the closest I have seen so far. I wish I could get decent pics for you. I appreciate your insight. :-)

No luck on the video either. No light was too dark and a flash light on the subject whited him/her out. It just looked like a shady section on the rock with absolutely no definition. Great footage of my pepermint shrimp, tho. Sorry. I'll have to wait a couple days before I try again. I'll...

It is a creamy color with leopard spots like the pictures but no appendages. I'll look up flatworms and see if any of those match.

Upon further investigation, I'm not sure because the sea hares/nudibranches seem to be thicker and have more substance to them while the thing I have is almost like a living, moving liquid. It also has quite the appetite for MEATY foods. Nudibranches tend to be herbivores (if I am not...

OMG that's it! YOU ARE AWESOME! I'll look him up! I'm surprised to see this one out in the open and being held. I guess I'll have to rethink my blob scenario. ha ha The one in the pick is good sized but mine is bigger. haha Thanks for all your help. I couldn't find anything. That's...

I'll write it if you'll produce it. ha ha

It is really cool. I am going to try to get a video of it on YouTube. I'm hoping my phone will take better video than pics. :-) The only thing not cool about it is the size. I'm afraid it will eat my firefish and corals. I also have two mammoth aiptasias (with heads the size of golf...

I do not have a tripod or even a decent camera. It is not like the picture. If you take all the hard stuff off of a snail and just leave the flat slimy part that moves them, you'd be closer. This stuff moves over surfaces like a snail but is entirely flat. It looks like snot gliding over the...

Yeah, welcome to the world of constant surprises. I have had my reef tank for two years and I'm still constantly on this site asking for ID's. ha ha Part of the charm! :-)

I'm betting on aiptasia. They can be really small to like 50 cent piece sized or larger. I have two huge ones that I let live because they're so cool looking when they are that size. I have a peppermint shrimp who munches all the many offspring. They have to be kept far away from corals...

I agree. They will be very nice additions to your tank. Congrats! Most people have to buy theirs. he he

I can't tell if the base is purple or not but if it is, it is definitely Evergreen Star polyps. Lucky Duck!! I had to buy mine!!

I have some of the grass looking stuff. It's Evergreen Star polyps. They are an encrusting coral that grow over the rock. Some people consider it a problem since it can grow pretty fast but I LOVE mine. They're really pretty when they are nice and thick. They're easy to grow, mostly need...

This stuff is like a leopard blob almost as big as the palm of my hand. They come out only when the lights are off and look like snot moving very flatly accross the surface of the live rock. If they find food, they envelope it completely, digest on the spot, then move on. I fed one a piece of...

You could do that but keep an eye out for any changes; even that might not be enough. It seems like the white llights have a deeper impact on the more sensitive corals. I have heard of doing nothing but increasing and then decreasing the dark cycle over a period of weeks after bulb changes. I...

Also, LiveAquaria.com has a nice web site that gives you lots of information about the corals they sell. It also has an entire section on "beginner corals". Don't get anything until you have your new filtration going and your tank has cycled completely. I don't recommend getting any corals...

Lighting for a reef tank is probably the most important (an expensive) thing you will have to buy. T5 HO bulbs come in a range of sizes and prices and you should be able to find bulbs that fit your fixture. Make sure the new bulb wattage is not too high for your old fixture. It sounds like...

Corals are sensitive to change so you can diffuse the light over them for a few days or move them to a shady spot where they can just get reflection from the substrate. You have to do the same thing when you change your bulbs too or you will have the same problem with all of your corals...

Good luck! I'm excited for you! I remember when I was you! I LOVE mt 40gal reef tank. It is really the only reason my kids are still alive! ENJOY!
