I found a very well camouflage hitch hiker in my xenia!
Apparently they are called xenia crabs (not gonna lie I really did not saw it until i really took a closer look to inspect my xenia for damges and noticed some stalks that does'nt have some fingers and was like whoa why is that stalk moving sideways!!)
They have a very cool symbiotic relationship on a xenia, they eat xenia while they also protect xenia!
Will this help me control xenia's weed-like nature that spread quickly or will i need to find him a friend?
Look at 2nd pic and have fun finding him 🤣
Wish me luck as I try battle byropsis
Snail ID?
LFS said it was an Aussie Rock Snail. Looks encrusted or like someone glued a frag on it. Moves slow, clumsy as hell, and has tube worms growing on it. Possibly more, but nothing soft. The large tube at the underside had a large bristle worm in it that eventually moved to the rockwork. Keeping them under control with a wrass for now, but can't find any info on this snail. Not sure if the bristle worm was symbiotic or just a hitchhiker.
Mind the dirty tank, I’m fighting Dinos, but I have been waiting months for a pair of these Watanabei Angels. I ended up with two females and hoping the dominant one will change to male 🤞
Best Aiptasia treatment? First time dealing with it so not sure if adding a file fish or a copperband. Any experiences with those?
the nems are just taking over the tank now it’s crazy there is 7 of them now

Urchin 💩
Can anyone identify this critter on my live rock please? Recent tank changes are I added x4 coral frags - A duncan, a zoa, a toadstool and green star polyp. All were dipped using red sea dip x thank you
Woke up to find my urchin has a new fascinator! 😡 It's chewed up both of my Xenia and now I have none left.
This GHA is whooping me. ISO blue tuxedo urchin - Houston Area…
Here's my challenge with my tank. Just did a water change. I've been fighting this green hair algae since I had my 40 gallon tank. It continues in this 125 gallon. The half platform with the little zoa's and the tube on the back wall. I take it out and peroxide clean it. But the other Rock work is just to much to take out and clean the same way. My parameters are: SG: 1.025 TEMP: 78 ALK: 8.9 CA: 430 MG: 1290 PH: 8.2 NO3: 4 PO4: 0.00... now my toldstool hasn't been open for 2 weeks. And my GSP won't open because I cleaned the tube. So, I'm going drastic and I'm putting the GFO back in the sump. I hate to say how much I spent. But I ordered some New fish to help with this algae. Yellow Tang, tomini tang, one spot foxface rabbitfish, and more.
So! doe's anyone want to borrow fílé to rake out aiptasia ? 🤔😂 no serious he's good at his job, im based in Midlands le4 💯✌🏼🖤🤍
