thanks for the quick IDs,
Hydroids and bryopsis eh. great. What would be the safe way that could be used to get rid of either of these? Read that raising magnesium levels would help with bryopsis and growing macro algae such as chaeto would assist in dropping phosphates etc from the water. I am sure my using tap water probably has a contributing factor too. I assume I will probably need to find a control for these before I start adding corals of any sort?

Click on the link in my signature for help with the bryopsis.
Hydroids are a pain in the butt. Sometimes they spread quickly and really cause problems by stinging their neighbours. Ime, they don't spread very fast at all though. I have a few patches in my reef, and I just use boiling water in a syringe they I slowly release onto the hydroids to get them real good. That's about all I know of to control them. Some people say Butterflyfish will eat them, but I have yet to see that myself. Quote:

something else I need an ID on...
8) Found this little circular shaped guy with the greenish specs in the center moving around the tank. Not moving around mobile like a snail would but yesterday it was in one spot on the glass and the next it moved a couple cm over onto the rock. It is roughly 3-4mm across and doesnt seem to have any snail appendages or even a shell but was attached to the glass and looked flat and circular with no color (other than the pinkish body) and now I can see a bit of color on it and it looks to be a different shape.. The part touching the glass did look like a snail foot would on the glass. Any ideas as to what it is?
