That's great Ronny and here is Critter ID Page that might help you in identifying what she is seeing. Every two year old should be taught to say, "That's a Acanthodoris rhodoceras on the rock."

part of the fun of the hobby is not just fish and coral, but the whole micro-ecosystem you create and support.

If you ever get the opportunity to look through a Ogles Mesoscope jump on it. I was lucky enough to pick up Anthony Calfo for a speaking engagement awhile back and he brought his to my place. Its Amazing! Looking at the individual polyps and critters opens up a whole new world for sure. To this day I keep two magnifying glasses and numerous flashlights in the drawer over my chiller and still drag them out all the time.

I have spent hours looking at my tank with a magnifying glass and a flashlight.
