OK my brother in-law just set up a new 24 gal nano and went and bought some live rock and when he put it in the tank. After a couple of hours he had what look like tinny anemones. They are white and clear in color and they have tiny little white balls on the end of each tentacles. They look like little snow balls on the end of each tip. I my self have no idea what they are and was hopeing someone could help me out with what they are and how to get rid of them. Here is a picture of the rock that he sent me. Exclamation

Of the thousands upon thousands of animal and plant species we find in our reef aquariums 99.9% are good. They are part of a healthy ecosystem and we don't always know what they are called. Look at those amazing whispy tenticles. Awesome life. Enjoy it while it's there. It won't last. As the tank matures these will be replaced by other animals.

Can we appreciate this variety of life as being totally awesome?Confused Do we know how LR has totally changed the hobby from what it was 15 years ago?
Part of the fun of keeping a reef aquarium is all the cool animals we see. I was just observing a tiny Brittle Star hanging on the top of the Chaeto in our new clownfish nursery(thanks Nick). It was catching Rotifers that the baby clownfish had not eaten. I then saw a flatworm on the glass. It was almost clear, kind of a milky white. That is a flatworm that helps keep the surfaces clean.
It is all so fascinating to me. Big smile
