First piece of LR

Here are 2 pictures of my new LR the first piece i added to my 5 gallon Nano reef
i was hoping you guys could tell me if it is nice looking live rock, maybe also identify some of the Algae
thank you

 

Looks nice to me - got lots of color!!

Your avatar on the other hand....lol creepy!!!

 

lol kc

Looks like very nice LR. Lots of nooks and crannies for critters and surface area for bacteria. Did you give it a quick scrub with a toothbrush to knock off any hair algae or other nuisance algae? I'd also give a close look to see if you can find any vermetid snails. Once those suckers are in your tank, they're a pain to get out.

 

so everything looks ok to the rest of you guys? and thanks for saying it has nice colors i am hoping it puts out some nice looking worms like Aip and tube worms ext. I like a lot of little things in my tank full of life, would be be a few months before i see any thing small and great? i was also wondering too if i would be able to keep a peppermint shrimp in my 5 gallon?

haha sorry if the pick freaks you out btw

 

I'm sure you wouldn't like aiptasia. That's a real nuisance as well. You could start seeing critters pop out quite early if there are any present on the rock. When I was cycling, we had a few feather dusters pop up. Quite neat for the beginner.

A peppermint would do fine in a 5g

 

i think its a nice peice louzir. but the main thing is, do you like it? thats all that matters. i think you should be fine to have a peppermint in there. especially if you want aiptasia. lol

 

hmm slocal i washed it in some mixed salt ro water didnt really scrub with a tooth brush i noticed some little hair types on there right now anything i should be worried about?
also i didnt see any snails other then the little sand borrowing ones that was in my live sand that i got from an LFS are they a problem it seems they clean the sand and burrow more then anything.

 

yes very much so like it can any of you tell me what types of algae is on the fiji LR?
also is it possiable for corals to grow from LR after time?

 

yes i was hopping to get some feather dusters in there

 

Looks like some coraline is starting to grow on it. It is possible to have some coral hitchhikers on your rock. I had a snail come with some porites on it once.
