Photo of last remaining aiptasia
This is the best I could do....I really do think it's aiptasia. You can see the irritated zoas nearby. Anyway, if this one doesn't disappear in the next week or so, I think I'll try and remove the...

I'll try to get a good photo tomorrow, in the light, but I can't think of what else it might be. Doesn't look like any majano I've seen in pictures. It's that bleh tan...

Magical Farming Peppermint Shrimp....?
So I freaked when I suddenly noticed aiptasia EVERYWHERE but especially, right in the middle of various zoa colonies. The zoas were staying closed and revealing the infestation. I admit, I took the...

Thanks for that idea - so I looked at photos of sea cucumbers in various growth phases and I don't think so. It was about 5mm across, so fairly large as compared to some critters. The pink-coloured...

Rotifer hatch in 1.6G pico
So the other day I had a hatch of what I'm thinking are rotifers in my 1.6G pico tank. I couldn't get a photo of the critters, but Rescue Gorg immediately got its polyps out and open for business.

What is this? Should I be worried?
Noticed this on the glass a few minutes ago. It looks like a tiny pink snail with a bunch of knobbly legs radiating out. It's on the glass and actually has a piece of red seaweed clutched in it's,...
