    Dear 3reefers,
    Yet another ID needed! This new inhabitant came with Fiji LR. It looks like a thick white membrane waving in the water. The size is approx. 1" by 1". What's that ?!

    Thanks for quick response. Ufff... I've read few short articles about tunicates and they seem harmful. Damn! It's an extremely interesting organism! It's believed to be an intermediate between invertebrates and vertebrates, therefore being our very distant ancestor :p

    Don't go overboard about being harmful.

    Beautiful animals. Have had had few in my tank for ages (came with original LR)...

    Not a problem and am glad to have.
