I have live sand and live rock. I noticed this morning that I have sand that appears to be standing?? for lack of a better word. Any one know what this is or why it is happening. Water is good. Thanks

That can happen when something digs in the sand. It's kinda like them building a sand castle under water.

Thanks for the info I was getting worried.

Google spionid worms.... Could be that too. I had them in my tank. Harmless if its them.

I have'em too, kinda cool. Harmless & in fact helpful as CUC. But I've read stories of them getting TOO numerous and therefore unsightly.

Looking at the 2 brown lines in you sand against the glass, I suspect feather dusters. Could also be both dusters and sponoid (sp?) worms.

I'd have to say spionid worms as well. They seem to come and go in my tank. If you watch around night time, you can see 2 little arm like things reaching out and feeling around. Kinda cool, and completely harmless.

Very cool eel in the background too btw!
