    I have only had this guy for about two weeks so i am still learning what he is all about. I saw this going on today. It closed up and then a thin layer of what I'll call skin began to peel off. Then the tangs saw it and began to pull at it. They only touched the detaching skin so I am not to worried about them. So does anyone know if this is normal?

    I have 2 sea squirts in my tank but they're orange and tube/oval looking. Is it possible that I dont have sea squirts? These are mine. I have a few pics:confused:
