    ;D I added live rock (2 weeks ago :p)... I only have half of it so far but I will be going back as soon as my leg gets better (Dont you just love skiing?)

    I have been watching every day and I am pretty sure I have some type of coral or something... It seems to be getting bigger... and it shrinks ar ngiht when the lights are out and gets bigger throughout the day....

    And today... I saw a snail!!!!!!! I had the lights out for a few hours today adn when I turned them on there was a snail on my rock (ok so its not that big of news)

    If anyone knows what this is please help...

    Ok so I cant get the attatchment to work... does nyone know how to make the attatchment size smaller? Its a Jpeg image... I will post pictures as soon as I figure what to do ;)

    The coral looks like a type of Plyathoa or Zoanthus polyp. Will have to check on the snail, I have some gastropod links somewhere in my favorites.

    Lookin good!!! I'm gonna agree with Craig here that the above is palythoa. On the snail pic, you managed to get some good coralline algae too.

    BTW---wash your hands when you remove them from the tank. It's good practice even if you don't have polythoa in your tank.
