Do they look like these???? If they do they are tiny tube worms called Pileolaria sp., they are good guys

Wow thats cool! I've never seen that kind of coral before...

we want to see...post a pic!

definitely diatoms (I also used dry rock in my setup), when did you set up the tank?

I am fishface and very new to this forum. I need some live rock for my new/used 24 gallon nano cube and would also like to hear if my fellow saltwater enthusiasts think I need to add a protein skimmer to my set up. It's just been up for a week now and I've added a small crab until the tank settles in. I also have 2 fresh water tanks that I really enjoy. Is there a place to put a classified ad about items I am looking for or want to sell? I can't find the info anywhere and would appreciate any info anyone can provide. Thanks!

Here is the link to buy or sell stuff if you havent found it already: http://www.austinree...5-want-to-sell/

My 40g tank is going through its cycle right now(day 11) and I have rust colored spots on the sand and glass, i think it is diatoms. Look at my 40g thread pics and see if it is similar.

You might want to see if somebody or an LFS will let you borrow one(so you can return it once its eaten all the hair algae) , they tend to starve once all the hair algae is gone

Day 9 of cycle

Diatoms(reddish/orange algae) showing up on the sand

zoas have been sold

Looking to sell these zoas(20+heads) for $20.00. I bought these for $14 when they had about 10 heads. I am getting rid of them because I am trying to make more room for other corals. Sorry for the image quality, the pic came from my phone. Looking to meet up in Hutto/Round Rock Area
