NEW TANK WHAT FISH AND WHATS THE WHITE THING

[jwtrojan44]

The organisms you describe are likely just hitch hikers that came in with your live rock. They don't sound very threatening so I'd just leave them be. What sort of set-up are you planning? Community tank, reef, aggressive? This will be a heavy determinant with regards to what you can place in the tank. Any ideas?

Stop Yelling at me..


Start Slow and with a few fish at a time your choices are fine save for the Goby. I would stick with fish that do not need to be in an established aquarium and as jwtrajan44 said. Decide what style of tank you want.
The horned critter needs a little more description or even better a close up using a digital camera with the Macro settine and white balace set to outdoors USE the FLASH
