    I guess today has been eye opening for me as I dig through the rocks on my tank. Finding S**T that I didn't know was in there.

    I've had a lot of small what I thought were strawberry nems and never paid them much mind. Earlier today found out I have a large sponge colony and now this.

    It doesn't, at least to me, look like aiptasia or majano... what the heck is it?

    I"m guessing if I have one that size there are probably others that I"m unaware of lurking about.

    Normally I would say to add a peppermint shrimp in there but I think my hawkfish or wrasse would thrash a shrimp.
