as far as i can tell its a ball tipped anemone. i googled it and thats what one looks like so... :D i got one in my tank too

I plan on getting some shrooms and other softies maybe later on I’ll get a stronger light and get some more demanding corals but I like the look of soft corals anyway

Pistol shrimp and gobies are fun to watch. But the smaller tank size will make for more maintenance

Thanks for the quick reply ??

Quick question, I’ve set up a refugium for growing phytoplankton and other live foods for my display tank. I got several clams/mussels on my live rock. My question is will a protein skimmer skim out the phytoplankton if I put it in the refugium or in the display tank

My 40b is doing great so far. Been up for 5-6ish months now.

Yes I’m going to focus on low to medium light corals. The way the aquascape is almost all of the coral space will be at the 6inch or less distance from the light. The lower half I want to keep open to max out sand surface space for sand sifters/burrowers

Decided to go with a fluval marine 3.0 paired with the aquasky I had. Will upgrade to a second 3.0 eventually.

About 4 months old now. Which is a bit young I know. Also the chunk finally broke apart and floated away. Looks like it was pellet food.

Good point. I didn’t think about that. Thanks.

Yep going to be heading to Dallas and returning this light and getting a new one sometime within this coming week. I was also considering doing a 10% water change to lower the nitrates more.

Parameters are PH - 8.2 Ammo/nitrite 0 Nitrate - 5 to 10ppm Phos - 0ppm DKH - 10 or 179ppm Cal - 420ppm

It looks more like this usualy. I just angled the rock he seems to like so if it is food and is just a bit too heavy a chunk to spit up easily, it should roll off his disk maybe. Also he’s alone on that side of the live rock. He is new to the tank tho. Maybe that’s the source of the stress

My first thought was a chunk of fish food. I saw it catch some fish pellets the other day.

Noticed this odd chunk of something sticking out of an anemone. Been there a few days. nem doesn’t seem stressed or anything. Took the pic when it was shrunk a bit so I could get a clear shot. It usually has nice filled out look with bubbles extended.
