Raw table shrimp should def kick start the process....or you could ghost feed the tank with mysis. Either way just make sure your Ammonia and nitrites are zero and your nitrates are say less than 10 before you add anything....and add slowly.

hitch hiker
Our tank is doing very well, a couple of days after the raw shrimp was added, we had a spike in ammonia, now it is returned to zero. We will not be adding the cuc until we get back from holidays at the end of May.
However we have a strange hitch hiker, it finally came out of the hole it was hiding this morning, it appears to be a brown worm (slug) about an inch plus long, 1/4 wide, when it was hiding it would extend branched tentacles. Can someone give me an idea what it is, please? Tried to get a photo but by the time I got my camera it was gone! Last edited by Tine; 05-06-2009 at 03:43 PM. Reason: bad grammar

Here is a nice resource for Identifing hitch hikers:
http://www.chucksaddiction.com/hitchodds.html Scroll down to SYNAPTID SEA CUCUMBER (medussa worms) I think that is what you have.

Thanks for the welcome. I must say it does look like a cross between the cucumbers and the spaghetti worms. I just want to know if it is bad or good, as it will be much easier to catch now while the tank is empty. I'll keep you posted.
