    You pretty much nailed it ozark. I can't catch a break with the cyano or the keys trees. Every time I get rid of them, they come right back.

    Thanks Ty. You have any more of that scroll coral left?

    I just realized I actually posted here once before with the same question. My bad... Still, I never found out what they are. Green button polyps?

    A couple of these came on some rock i bought awhile ago. I'm wondering if anyone can tell me what they are? Thanks for looking, Max.
  5. I'm guessing the reduced metabolic rates of arthropods in lower water temps possibly makes them better suited for life in an artificial environment? I recently started an undergraduate research focused on aquatic insects and from that I know that temp. is a key piece of information used to determine life-span, growth rate, and so on of arthropods.

    I thought they may be palys. That's where I got chocolate chip mint sunflower from. The only difference is these have a pale green center.

    The only thing I found that was similar was Chocolate Chip Mint Sunflower zoanthid.

    Any idea on what I got?
  9. It's just recently that I've truely taken a notice of them. I've had some problems with algae in the fuge but I've been able to kill off most of it with my macro algae. Now that I've cleaned the acrylic I'm actually able to see them and have to say there awesome! I watched one of them repeatedly flick a 8" bristle worm and cause it to retreat. After a closer look, I've concluded that what I thought was a pistol shrimp, is simply a very large Amphipod. I've seemed to have lost my former pistol shrimp, although I'm still not sure. I still hear clicking noises every once in awhile and I assumed that this was what I was hearing. Who knows maybe it still in there? At some point I'll have to get another, my goby seems to be missing a freind.
  10. Enjoying the new view I found out that I had a small (1.5-2 cm.) pistol shrimp living in my refugium.
  11. I had some difficulties figuring out how to load the video. It was taken with my iphone, so excuse the not so great quality.
  12. I cleaned the glass of my refugium today and got a cool video of amphipods and brine shrimp . At one point an amphipod starts fanning it's swimmerets in what I believe was her releasing it's clutch.
  13. So I've finally got everything set up the way I want it and I've run out of money. Setting up a saltwater aquarium has been a dream of mine since I was fifteen and now, four years later, I have the setup. If anyone has anything they would be willing to give me I would much appreciate it. -Max
  14. What powerheads do you have?
