I am just getting started with my tank up, I have my LR and my cycle is almost finish. Yesterday, I came home and boyfriend took some hermit crabs from the ocean to put in the tank. Of course, I did not let him because I was afraid they might be carrying some kind of harmful bacteria. I put...

They look like some kind of anemone or polyp. Can anybody help?

This is crazy. I was just about to post the exact same question and I saw your thread. Thanks for the advise, everyone. Good luck with your tank. I am ordering my LR from liverocks.com, it will be delivered on Friday. I will post pictures and let you all know how the rock looks.

Can you recommend a brand of water you can buy from the grocery store that is RO/DI water??

I am just starting a 55 gal tank and I want to buy 75 lbs of LR. Where is good place to buy live rock, that is somewhat cheap??

OK, I will defintely look into it. My ulitmate goal is to have a emperor angle fish. I think they are the coolest fish. I read that as adults a reef setting is not good for them. Could an emperor angle live in live rock?? :
