Hey i was wondering some things about this LR i recently put in the tank. the tank has been cycleing so i can put a reidi seahorse in but there are some Hitchhiker problems... :sad1: ok, there was : 3 tiny white starfish w/ 6 legs. 2 types of anemones, one that looks like an Aiptasia and i have 3 little greenish purple ones. I also have 2 stoney looking tubes on the rock and i swear something came out of one. any info or ID's would be great, and if you can dierect me to which ones i can keep and are seahorse safe?!?!?!?!? :confused: :hmm1:

It sounds like you have Asterina starfish, which are fine.

The anemones need to go.

Can you post a pic of the stoney tube looking thing?

Those are feather dusters. They are keepers!

I've used kalk paste, boiling hot RO water and peppermint shrimp.
