    What are these tentacles that come out at night?

    That's excellent!! Thank you :D that's exactly what they are! Wow, loads of conflicting information on Google though :/ I tried to siphon one out yesterday and it just broke. Didn't sting me though. I might try aiptasia X on one and see if that kills it? Or a toothbrush and siphon? Or I might...

    What are these tentacles that come out at night?

    Hey guys! Can anyone tell me what this tentacle belongs to? I've tried to find it with the magic of Google and just cannot find anything that looks like it. I've got several in my aquarium that come out after the lights go off. They seem to just have one tentacle each. I can't see what the...

    Can I use a dead gorgonian as decoration in a freshwater tank?

    Aw, thats a real shame :( I'm using RO water because my tap water is so hard and alkaline, so it's going to be pointless then putting something in that's going to bring it all back up again. oh well, back to the drawing board. Thank you Cthulhu :) Sent from my SM-T310 using Aquarium Advice...

    Can I use a dead gorgonian as decoration in a freshwater tank?

    This might seem a bit random, and I'm not even sure I've put this post in the right category, but I can't find the answer anywhere. I've got a couple of dead gorgonians from work. Are they safe to put in a freshwater tank? I want to attach moss to them so they look like trees to use in an...

    What are these white smudges on the glass?

    It actually hasn't been named yet :D it's grown from clippings that I was given at work. They came from a planted display tank that was planted up by some guys from Germany that I believe collected the moss themselves :) it's really nice once it gets established. It's got layers like a Christmas...

    What are these white smudges on the glass?

    Well, I've wiped it all off because I've re-scaped my tank :D let's hope it doesn't come back! What do you guys think of my tank now? Sent from my GT-I9505 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

    What are these white smudges on the glass?

    It stays white when I look at it from any angle. I have got an Otto in that tank and he hasn't eaten any of it yet. Could it be some sort of bacteria? I'm going to clean it off when I get home from work tonight so I'll see if it comes back. I just wanted to ID it before I removed the evidence ;)...

    What are these white smudges on the glass?

    It's inside the tank ;) no sweaty people here ;) heh heh! I did think it might be snail eggs, but they are teeny tiny! Like smaller than pin prick's. I've only got Malaysian trumpet snails in there and I thought they laid eggs in jellied lumps? Correct me if I'm wrong though! I hadn't tried...

    What are these white smudges on the glass?

    Can anyone identify this for me pretty please? There are several large patches of white on the inside of the aquarium glass. They look like bacteria growing in a Petri dish! I have no idea what it is. Is it an algae? Should I be worried? I've tried googling it, but can't find anything that...

    What are these? Are they eggs?

    Nope, no nerite snails, only Malaysian trumpets. Ooo I hope they are Cory eggs! I've been waiting for them to start for aaages! (Well, weeks really. They're only young, but I'm impatient ;) ) Sent from my GT-I9505 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

    What are these? Are they eggs?

    Hopefully this'll give you a better idea of scale :) you can just see for in a row behind the middle stone, and some just to the left of the stone on the right. Hope this helps! Thanks for all the replies so far! Sent from my GT-I9505 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

    What are these? Are they eggs?

    The substrate is sansibar fine sand from JBL, with dennerle shrimp substrate on top. The "eggs" are the same size as Cory eggs, but look different to the ones I've seen before. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

    What are these? Are they eggs?

    It does look a bit like osmocote, but I've never used it in my tank. It's a lot paler too than osmocote. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Aquarium Advice mobile app
