it would have the soft coating on the back of the wetside.. thats about the only way to tell just from first glance and hook up..

it must have been there in hiding when i bought the rock.. there are 2 pics of that worm rock, one of which right after i had first bought it.. the other is just the other day.. that is the color with the flash.. color of it with my lighting is more purplish.. sounds good.. but im not near NY...

an anemone shrimp of some sort.. since the photo, it has gone MRA (Missing Reef Animal)

i got a vortec from Scott at aquariumspecialy.com and its doing great! removed 3 maxijet 1200's and run just my return pump and the vortec.. dropped 3 degrees in the tank!! less vary on the temp too due to running 1 pump instead of 3!! The newest batch has some nice fixes to problems that came...

the 2nd from bottom pic with the orange zoanthids are ones that I named and are on zoaid.com.. they are called Tequilla Sunrise Zoanthids.. And they go for $10/polyp.. Have sold quite a few since they got on zoaid, and plan to spread them around as much as possible.. I had a few auctions on ebay...
