Stuff I've got in my tank so far!
Stuff I've added intentionally:
-Occelaris Clownfish -1 Nassarius Snail -2 Red Leg Hermit Crabs -2 Trochus Snails -2 (Margarita?) Snails Stuff I've found so far: -3 Bubble Tip Anemones -1 small Emerald Crab -1 Bristle Worm -TONS of Feather Fusters (Mostly white, 2 or 3 have rust colored "feathers") -lots of Copepods and Amphipods -A few Vermetid Snails -A bivalve of some sort? -Polyps that are multiplying but have yet to open up  It's exciting to find new stuff every day, even after so many hours of observation! I added a few pictures of my discoveries, but it maxed me out at 5

Finding the crab would've been the most exciting part for me. It would make me rethink the fish I'm putting in there. The other discoveries can be food as far as I would be concerned...either way very exciting. Congrats.

The "bubble tip anemones" (if they are the ones in your third picture) are a Corynactis species, they actually belong to the corallimorpharians like mushrooms. Nice finds!

Also, could anyone point me in the right direction as to what this is? He wiggles around and will close up if anything gets too close. |

The bubble tips are ball anemones (Pseudocorynactis). The pic above is some sort of bivalve.

Dcain, here's a nice article about mushrooms that also talks about Corynactis/Pseudocorynactis if you are into "reading up" on stuff in your tank.

I forgot about that article. Too bad they only talk about how to keep them rather than how to get rid of my rare plague LOL.

Not so much in my case LOL. Mine are mostly clear with a little bit of orange inside and white tips. They're going after my corals. Apparently I'm one of 2 people that have ever had an issue with them.
