I decided to come to the experts and find out what some of these little guys are that continue to grow on the LR. The first photo has an orange jelly mass growing. When I first got the rock it was hard and white. I figured whatever had been growing on it died during shipment to my home. The second and third photo is a hermit crab of some kind. I found about 50-80 of them all stuck to what looked to be a dryer sheet during high tide at assateague Island this past June. The first pic shows the kind of shell they were all in. I took them back to camp. For over an hour I took each little guy off of this material. Sadly most of them were dead. Here's the thing.........don't scold me too bad okay???
I brought the 15 that survived and plunked them down in my tank. They have been doing great. The crazy thing that I have noticed about them, they will not climb the rocks. They only stay on the floor and boy can they run!! Can anyone id these little guys? Next photo....could that be some kind of anemone? I'm feeding it so I hope it's something "good". Next photo is the white thing that seems smooth to touch but squishy. Next pic is a bit blurry. These guys close up to nothing when I move rock so photo taking is a pain. next is a white filament of some kind. They almost look like little trees. Some of them are pink. The 8th photo is a peachy color w/irrid. green sheen. They have pointy tips that balloon out. They to disappear when the rock is moved a bit. The very last photo is a better close-up. PPHHHEEEWWWWWW! Okay I am finally done. Does anyone have a couple of ideas? By pointing me in the right direction, I can do a little research on these misfits. Thanks all!
