wi got this tank from oliver in good condition and with all the hardwere as light pumps and sump

i want to thank you guys for all the information i picked up from you and use to help my friend. we will have a bunch of the questions to make this baby going:grouphug:

 

[grisha]

first question
after a few weeks we set this up, a legion of this tine bugs like critters materialize on the glass. they are not a jelly or flat worms they ahve a bug like moves and as big as a grain a of the sand. can some body id 'em. it is all over a glass and i i would like to know if i should leave it alone or is there any animal which will eat it

welcome asha! and to answer your question, those are most likely pods which are good for the tank and you can leave them be....and various fish also eats them

 

[grisha]

[digitalreefer]

Grisha, check out the link and scroll down to inverts. Gary sells them for a while now under the name mini carpet anenome. its actually a very nice anenome that stays small (quarter size) and has a weak sting. Now that I have found your unidentified coral, you must give me one for further inspection. . They split fast too
