I went to HoT tonight to look for a tank to get back into the hobby. I spent about 45 minutes walking around the store and not a single employee could be bothered to see if I needed any help. I even asked for some help and was told I will be right with you, waited in the same spot for 5 minutes. Went to go look at the all-in-ones on the other side of the store and saw the employee I asked for help talking and joking with another employee. There were very few other customers in the store. All in all I was ready to spend a good amount of money but I will look elsewhere to get a tank now.

The one rock that they are on (there are at least 3-4 on the rock that I have seen) has been removed from the tank and is sitting in a bucket of salt water, there is also 1 or 2 aiptasia on the rock. I dont want to see the aiptasia get to plague proportions so it will sit in the bucket for a little bit. Might offer it up for trade of a like sized piece of rock

Thats what it looks like...and looks like the indo-pacific variety...looks like its getting killed tonight (or at least scrubbed off the rock)

here is another pic of it

Not really, I have another picture of a second one on the same rock but no visible mouth on that one. I will try to look through the other pics I took and see

This is an interesting little fellow on one of the rocks I picked up today. Dont think it is an aiptasia, or a photo-synthetic organism but curious none the less

Thanks for the warm welcome. makes me feel good to be part of a great community. I need to try to get back up to scales today to pick up some sand and LR now that my tank has passed the leak test.

Hello all...been a lurker for a while. I have 2 tanks a 29 AGA with 130w of PC light over it and a brand new biocube 29(no mods yet). The biocube is going to be my reef tank and the 29 is fowlr right now (large aiptasia problem from rocks I got from a vendor I wont mention). Before the 29 biocube I had a 30 cube that housed seahorses, unfortunately when I went away on vacation for 4 days my heater got stuck on and killed the seahorses. I am looking forward to getting to meet some club members and gain some knowledge about husbandry and keeping a successful reef Matt
