NanoReef, thanks! The second picture is a cowrie, not sure what type yet.

JasonJ, I have a 65W 50/50 PC.

Be careful with those cowrie's, some are nasty. Is the tissue part white with black spots?

The shell kinda looks like a 'ring cowrie' which i think are okay... not sure though.

hey aquariumgirl just was looking through your post noticed you thought you had some baby sun coral

they actualy look more like a strawberry anemome
notice the club tips on the tenticals its a notiable characteristic that defines these animals

Phylum Cnidaria
Class Anthozoa
Subclass Zoantharia
Order Corallimorpha
Family Corallimorphidae

hope it helps you out.
they will pop up here and there since they divide like mushrooms and are active movers.. they lack the calcium carbonate skeleton.
and come in colours from red- orange-white.
there pretty cool anthozoa thought

cheers dave

Thanks Reef_kid! It very well might be, but I think those are cold water anemones (Corynactis californica) ranging from california to BC. I didn't put anything from our waters into this tank, so I think it's unlikely. Maybe it is some type of anemone.

Just to give everyone an update on how these guys are doing... I only have a few left (very hard to feed). They are usually closed and open up when it's feeding time. They are very slow grower. I'll see if I can get a picture of them later on.

Here are some updated pictures of the ten gallon and the three gallon tanks. The coco worm was a little shy for pictures but you can see its home on the left.

So I have done some changes to my tank, mainly upgraded to a 30 gallon tall (it's about time, how long have you been planning this?? ). Yes it's been done, but I've run into some problems; the thingy to cover the hole in the back of the tank is leaking!! So, the tank is not fully filled and the silicon is drying. I don't have pictures yet and the tank is bare. I'll post when I think the tank is ready for show . Anyway, a certain person (s) has been bugging me to post something (anything), so here you go...

To past time I've recently decided to extend my hobbies to the arachnid area. Here are a few pictures of what I have. (I know this is in the nano reef section and that this is a reefing forum, but I feel so comfortable here that it's like an internet home for me ). ENJOY!!

This is Lou...a juvenile male Lasiodora parahybana.


This is Sami....a very young sling Avicularia versicolor.

This is Tashbaan...a very young sling Poecilotheria fasciata.
