    UFO- Unidentified Fishy Object.
    Ok guys. I found this thing on some of my live rock. This tank has only been set up for around 4 weeks. There is nothing but live rock and sand in the tank. I have no had the lights on at all yet.
    Is this something good or something bad? Is it something significant at all?
    I don't remember seeing it when I put the LR in the tank but who knows. I might have just missed it.

    I was thinking a feather duster of some sort too, it looks like it has lost its crown, which should grow back, if it is a feather duster.

    well if it is a spionid, you'll see two stringy tentacles come outside of the tube. they're harmless to fish, but can be a possible coral irritant
