mystery dusters

[salty420]

ok so these dusters popped up out of nowhere. the wierd thing is that they look just like one of the dusters my clowns killed. oddly enough the clowns aren't bugging these at all - maybe cause they're on the rock..? anywho they are getting bigger and bigger, i think they may become full sized dusters. did my old (now dead) duster reproduce?

this pic just shows one of them, the other is on the same rock... also in this pic is the wierd lime green thingy that grew out of no where (above and right of HA) if anyone can id it off this shot...

Looks like a baby FD to me, the other thing above the HA is possibly a Majano or small rock anenome. You can kill it or leave it, every time I try to kill the pests in my tank, it seems like more appear than before in different locations. It is your call. I have a couple of those along with some Apitasia, I usually leave the kind you have alone, they don't really bother any of my stuff, yet. The Apitasia I try to keep a handle on. I can't use shrimps, my Blue line Hamlet(Grouper) eats them up very quickly. I am going to try some Berghia Nudi's when I can find some place selling them. I think they are my only hope at this point in time. Good luck and I hope some more FD's appear out of nowhere for you, that is cool.:thumbsup:

I think the lime green thing is a duster to. They come in lots of colours, it might be one of the 1000 other harmless inverts to though. I don't think that it's a majano or atapsia if that helps. I'd just leave it alone and see what it does they don't mvoe that fast and all sorts of things will come out of no where.

I've got quite a few of those all about the same size.

ya i don't think it's a pest nem either from other pics i've seen of them. i just wish i knew for sure what it was, out of curiosity. as far as the dusters go (the babies) are they spawn of my old duster? they have to be, they look just like it only small sized. i have lots of tiny dusters around in the tank but they are all really tiny and clear, these are getting pretty big. i really hope they keep growing.

anyone have any idea about my baby dusters? i'm curious if my duster reproduced before it died... well actually i don't know for sure if it's dead, could just be MIA - but there are 2 babies so i know they aren't my old one...
