    So I two days ago I set up my fuge with nothing in my main tank, waiting for rock to get her... I set it up with the "mud" and maro algae, its all stringy and balls up on its self, o ya and green.
    I have let it just go for the past three days and I looked in today and saw this little like 1/4 inch orange polyp looking thing. It is attacked to the mud rocks and has a trunk and a head area with tentacles coming out in a ring. I tried to take a picture but it didn't come out.
    I know its not that easy to work out from this little information sorry any help would be nice tho.

    Well, they are bad because they can quickly spread and take over a tank. Im not really sure as to how bad they would be considered in a sump/fuge. I would still get rid of it. Order up some Joe's Juice

    Ok now I have found something else, a few orange slug looking things with a brown stripe, looks like its insides running down the middle any ideas? They are about 1/4 of an inch as well.

    No it was they didn't spread out to the side like that, and when I was removing them they cureled up in to little balls. Also they could send out spike looking things by the bottom sides of there bodies.

    I got ride of all of them so good or bad they are gone now.
