    I recently found this hitchhiking on 10lbs of live rock I got at the LFS. I'm puzzled as to what it is. I've put it in a QT tank. Any ID help would be appreciated. Is it reef safe?[​IMG]

    I'd be careful because I've heard those things can be responsible for massive ammonia spikes.

    For thoes cat lover's out there go to ur LPS look for cat grass that the leaves are the shape of a spade "live catnip".. Break or tear a few leaves off rip apart with your finger give to your cat/s sit back and watch them go..!!
