    I bought some live rock from a local reefer and found some hitch hikers. I was told they could be Glass anenome but would like to get a confirmation. Please advise.

    Thanks in advance! :confused:

    The picture above is of a small piece that is on the rock on the bottom right hand of the picture. It is very small and was on a piece of rock that i just place into a small hole of the big rock. Sorry for the bad quality pic.

    The two pictures above are of the samething I am not sure what it is if you could please id this for me that would be great.

    The bottom two pictures are of the same thing. When I asked the LPS about them they said it could be a glass anenome. If you could please let me know that would be great.

    Looks like a glass anenome to me! Get rid of it quick or get some peppermint shrimp. Worked for me!

    No its fully cycled now. I have a trigger and lion fish in there also. I was told by my LPS to just take out the rock and let it sit out in the sun for 24 hours?

    Your trigger will eat the shrimp.

    Joe's juice....

    If you put it out in the sun, you will have die off and cause a mini cycle.

    That would be completely unnecessary. Just use the kalkwasser method, works great. Make a really thick paste with as little tank water as needed, use a syringe if you have one. Put a small dab on its mouth, it will be gone the next day.
