Default New Discovery!!!

Never ceases to amaze me at what new critters show up in tank periodically even after tank up several years.

Up early and just as lights turning on I noticed a blackish "blob" on sand in front of tank...

Running for camera, I got these pics...







Would guess about 4" long.

Quickly disappeared into rocks once light turned on...


May explain complete disappearance of hydroid plague I have been "blessed" with for ages...


(still think there is a pistol shrimp in there that I have never seen, but often heard)


_________

AG "125," AquaC EV 180, 30 gal sump, "SCWD", 80 lbs LR, CoralSeaLife "Moonlite" Hood, PFO 250W HQI Mini-Pendant (SPS HQI 14000k bulb)
12 Gallon NanoCube - 24w stock PC 50/50 light

Guess we will find out...

But my hydroid farms have been completely wiped out over last couple of months...

Before, (had several nice crops looking like this...)





Now...



Not a hydroid to be seen anywhere...

Both kinds gone, brown fuzzies and little stick kind (which used to be all over tank) have all but disappeared....

Nothing I bought. Gift from the great Reef God.

If nudi has any other bad habits, expect I will learn to live with them. But none noticed so far.

If it likes star polyps, I have them.

And will get it more if it wants them as long as it keeps the hydroids under control.
