Thanks guys. I'm not sure if it's static or moves about. Until today I hadn't seen it for a month or so which makes me think it moves. Was kinda hoping it was a feather star. Been looking everywhere for a pic to id it, but can't find anything like it. What you can't see in the photo is the...

Is anyone please able to id this cretin. It has darker feather like bits on the end of each white arm, and moves them one at a time to its mouth in the centre. It's appears now and again in the same spot. Thanks for your help.

Thanks Carey. If I had a bigger tank, would get a nem for them. Will keep an eye on the hammer.

Hi, I think my clowns have taken a liking to my hammer coral, and are starting to host it. Is this going to cause a problem for either the coral or fish? Thanks for your help, Joel

Thanks guys. Mind now at rest!

My 95 litre aquarium has always had about half a cm difference in water level from one side to the other. Obviously the floor isn't quite straight. It's been set up and running for about 5 months. should I be concerned about this??? Just wondering...

Can anyone please help id this. At the end of each White leg is a brown "feather". It appears to pass food from legs to mouth in centre. Is it a feather star? Cheers.

Thanks guys. Tank was cycled, but not sure about params. Hopefully this general tonic might help stop infection. Says it treats a wide range of things. Will give it 5 days and go over to do a water change, and see how things are. I think it was an injury that maybe got infected. Such a shame...

My friend has a freshwater tank with 3 fancy goldfish in. Last week the oranda had a kind of bruising around it's eye, and the eye buldging. The eye developed a White film over it which came off this morning together with the whole eye! Is this likely to be the result of an injury or something...

Can you see it under the blues?

Hi ricksreef, it's typical, not doing it tonight! I have googled spaghetti worm as per your suggestion, and it's not that. The tentacles are very fine, more like long filaments. When they touch something, they quickly retract, then go back to drifting in the current. I think they might be...

Melosu, I have carbon in the sump, so hopefully that will help with the chemicals. Do you think the tentacles are of concern to it's neighbours? Fully outstretched, the tentacles are at least 20-30cm.

Thanks guys. Ricksreef, I'm sure they are not feeders, they look like long thin thin threads with smaller threads along the length.

Has anyone had any experience with a stinging leather toadstool? This evening, it's sweeper tentacles are the longest I've ever seen them. How dangerous are it's stings? Gonna get it out if it's gonna damage everything else. Any suggestions? Cheers

Ok, mushie dipped in warm ro water, it's now back in the tank, and looks like it's spilling it's guts out. Is that right after the trauma? Cheers, Joel
