I was given the strange opportunity of discovering a Peanut Worm in my tank last night.  At first I thought it was one of those dead worm shapes that are formed on the rock, but then I thought I saw it move.  Then I pulled out the flashlight and as soon as I got light on it, it shot off faster than any of my fish ever have.  I looked again in that area an hour later and saw it again, but was able to watch it and find where it anchors.  That thing is really weird.  It is also my only worm in the tank to date!

Looks identical to this:

^me too.  Even after the rescape I found him last night! 

So in catching the anthias, I was forced to pull down my rock work. 

So I went from:

to:



How do you like it?  I will take some more pics with the full lights on tonight and post them.

Also I got a Tiny little sunburst anthias from Bill on Saturday.  He is almost too small for pics though so far.  I need to get him comfortable and take some with the underwater camera.  He is less than an inch long and yet he hangs out with my 6 inch niger trigger.  Confused

Well my buddy is completely re-doing his tank, so after some good dipping and cleansing, his corals are renting some space in my tank for a few months.  I hope they multiply like rabits while they are here ;)




This one used to be so beautiful, I hope it comes back


Lobos don't tickle me right


This is like a half of a melon in size? 8-10 inches across? Maybe 4-5 high when inflated

Ok I have proof that this guy lives. Tank lights weren't on yet, but I have no clue if he is now out for good or not, so I'll take what I can get. I also redid the rock work on the right of the tank to mix everyone up. I created a cave that is 1.5 feet tall and maybe a foot in diameter. They all love it.

SO updates on my Blotched Anthias.  He hung out in the big cave all day yesterday.  He would come out for food, then go lurk in the shadows.  Did this all day.  As soon as the lights went out at about 9pm last night, he came out to swim all around the tank and explore.

I am guessing in the next day or two he will be fully acclimated and ready to be his own man.

Here is a shot of the new rock work.  This is completely hollow inside, with a shelf in the front. The fish love this new layout.
