Unknown small anemones
Juvenile Blue claw crab
Small Asian crab

There are also some cool algaes I found in the harbor connected to the dock in there too. Here are some pictures, tell me what you guys think!

those anenome's are aptasia

It's wierd, I thought they couldn't stand the temp here. I have had some in the past and they died under NO lighting, are you sure theyre the same?

I like this, but I'd get rid of that squareish piece of slate. It looks unnatural

Not bad. But if you REALLY want to make it look like local waters you need to add a couple handfulls of mud and mix it up so the water turns brownish green

They look like aiptasia to me too

 

[Reeftanker3295]

I think the anemones are Diadumene Leucolena. They didn't split/multiply last time I had them and don't have the same disposition as aptasia.

Youll soon find out if they are indeed aptasia, if they spread like wildfire after a little bit in the tank- BUT they as Rick and ming stated they sure do look like aptasia to me as well.

Best of luck on the tank I like the idea of the local waters replication
