Default Please tell me if it is Bad or Good ...

It is the end of Day three for the tank. As listed below, 110gal, 110 lbs live sand, 88 lbs live rock, 80+ Gals NSW.
Red Brain, Green Metalic open brain, Green Donut, Opaque Green Bubble.

The rock is great stuff. Lots of holes. Lots of coraline algae. Brown and Green as well as more plant like growths. I figure the fish will tend to the garden when they come to the tank.

As far as critters go, all I have seen till tonight were a couple tube worms. Tonight I saw two brown crabs, hairy like a spider, maybe a half inch across the back. Both were grazing on brown and green algae. I also saw one shrimp, maybe 1/4 inch. Albino white. I figure the fish will also have him for lunch. There are a couple suspicious looking things. One, all I see looks like a cluster of translucent arms, maybe 16 or more. They appear to come from the opening of a hole, maybe 1/8 inch in diameter. Another is a reddish brown, like the coraline algae. It seems to be standing on its own, not in a hole. Please don't tell me, it is the dreaded a...........!!!!!!

Anything I should be mindful of? Are any of these critters a bad thing? OH, rock and everything is from the Thsound Islands north of Java, Indonesia. I'll take pics on Saturday when I have time to. Till then it will just be observations. Hopefully the crabs and other critters yet to be found won't be so shy as they were this evening.

Cheers,
Ray
