    Hay everyone....

    My tank has seemed to be coming along quite nicely...
    I would appreciate some input as to what I have...
    The soft coral was a nice surprise ;D
    My tank is 3 1/2 weeks old now

    I'm not real good on ID's other than the bad stuff LOL I'm sure someone will come along and tell you what they are. Is your tank finished cycling or did those things come on the rock you bought?

    Wow... You guys are Quick!..
    It takes me an hour to just figure out where to post! ;D
    The soft coral was a hitch hiker as well...
    There is a little purple one hiding in there and I had a green one that died...:cry:

    I dont know what the first thing is. The second looks like green star polyps=GSP. The last looks like a button polyp to me. Death isnt neccesary yet. Get a few opinions first. I am by no means an expert.

    the tank has cycled - not 100 %... I expect it to not be too stable though.. I really keep an eye on it...
    I did start with 25 Lb live rock and live sand...
    I lost the teddy bear crab and I found another one I am trying to hunt down...
    All I seen was black pointy sharp pincher < Just one!> with a white tip..
    I added a few snails - 3 Blue Leg Hermit Crabs - Red Scarlet Hermit Crabs because of the green algae -
    I seen a casualty of a blue hermit crab this morning and blame the little hiding monster...
