    Aubrey's last pics

    Here's my final submission. We've had steady growth and we are up to 16 polyps. I tip my hat to Mr. 39 polpys! The only way I could have something proliferate like that would be if it was something bad! Way to go Powderblue! Way to set the bar high! This has been fun. Thanks so much to Softy and Mr. Bret for having this competition. cf18168e20f2b986a0d97717c783779b.jpgcd53a18aa76f029c844d1cc333444ae7.jpg1167e0ea1f6ce05a80e0834df0491d8a.jpg6bbed9b00d0f03493017be0ea470ff8f.jpg

    Thanks Kim!  :drinking:

     

     

    Vayssierea elegans/Vayssierea felis looks to be more of a match now that i've stumbled across it here.

    I still want to snack on him as a Haribo Orange gummy bear though....but then again i still look at certain sps and wonder to myself.. hmmm, i wonder if that tastes as good as it looks?!  :laugh:

    Wow! Great detective work Chris! Thanks so much! It's nice to know that I don't have a detrimental beast wandering around in my tank. This guy definitely has rolled rhinophores and the parapodial wings. I have no idea where it came from but I would guess it's from the Indo-Pacific making it the Elysia obtusa variety. Thanks again for taking interest and going the extra mile to help out!

    Cheers,

    Aubrey

    Here are some more pics. ...some with back lighting. None of them great. Thanks for all the input! 20616534adfeec33e37bbdb41e830d5b.jpg5b54c1b51b7684ecf95bec2c209d6a37.jpgb9646c719909707af62772e0b7c03dd9.jpg846e4ee2020b47f13498a4001b296fe5.jpg

    Thanks for that word of caution. What kinds of "problems" should I be watching for if they were to get out of hand?

    Looks like a flatworm to me. Does it have a red spot on it ? If so those aren't as bad but still can be problematic. Do you have a wrasse in your tank? They are great flatworm eaters.

    It is a flatworm. No red spot that I can see. ..it's just orange with black insides. I do have a wrasse in the tank so maybe it will keep the pests in check. This is the first time I've seen one in the tank so I just want to make sure I don't have a bigger problem brewing.

    Definitely has that nudi or flatworm look to it.

     

    What did you use to get the picture? A clip on macro? Surely someone can ID that sucker with such a good shot.

    Took it under a scope in my lab with my phone. That's the easiest way to post. I'll try to get a better pic. Deconstruction a flat worn. Just don't know if it's a good guy or a bad guy.

    I found this guy crawling around on my clam this evening. I immediately extracted it from the tank. Is it a pest? ? If so, what follow up is needed in the tank to prevent bigger problems? Thanks in advance for all help! 06ae356b5b398af7f6f6cd2adec06266.jpgc5420aff2e7ca2484ba02cec361fd631.jpg08a16936373732c3b6407cfa3eab3289.jpg

    While I'm always for saving funds when I can, words can't express the appreciation I have for every LFS that I've ever set foot in to gaze, dream, and expand my knowledge and experience! I never want to be excessively overcharged but supporting the guys and gals who get up every day, do water changes, deal with lost livestock, shrinking profits, unreasonable customers, and order supplies so I can have them right NOW if I'm in a crisis deserve to be supported first and foremost in my opinion. Business ownership is no piece of cake and they most likely serve us out of a love of all things reefy, and  I for one never feel bad about supporting them anytime I can even if that means I have to pay a bit more. So here's my shout out to all the local stores! Thanks for being there whether we're looking, buying or in a CRISIS! Ya'll ROCK!

    Beautiful achilles! I'm not much of a tang fan, but I love those. :wub:

    Thanks! I thought it was a striking fish! I'm a sucker for tangs.....nothing better unless it's an angelfish. ...or a butterfly. ....or maybe a cool wrasse. ....and those anthias are really nice. ...;0)

    Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give it a try! Hopefully with getting our nitrates under control we won't be encouraging its growth in the future!!
