    My daughter says we have to get sea horses! If its a kinda horse it must be cool! :p I added sand before and put a foam pad in the sump between the baffles .. cleared it up by the next day. The sump light is on a timer and stays on from 10pm-6am .. top light only on for now while I'm being hypnotized by the water.

    Nudibranch?

    Took a pic by the LFS and they said it was some kinda nudibranch that fed on Green polyps .... They're kinda neat and was thinking about keeping it. So anyone else agree with my lfs? Included a better pic.

    doesnt look like Aiptasia to me. I know what they look like I have 1 in my tank now;D. Got a rock with some polyps from a friend when his tank got nuked. His tank was overrun with aiptasia covered just about every surface!

    If they feed on polyps you won't want them if you are going reef. They may starve if you are going FOWLR. Sure are cool looking though.
