Thanks for the links and the pictures. I need to go through the worm database link again but I think it may be something on there. Meanwhile, here is a pic. http://sdrv.ms/1ilCHK9 It's elongated and the other end was wrapped around a piece of dead coral and I couldn't unravel him safely.

No. I have a picture of it but I could never figure out how to upload pictures to this forum. But it looks exactly like this, just thinner. http://www.elgritonm.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/earthworm.jpg

That's what I originally thought. But I've seen those before and this one didn't have any bristles. It looked and moved exactly like an earthworm.

I discovered what pretty much looked like an earthworm that you normally find outside in the ground in my saltwater aquarium. Does anyone know anything about what this officially is? Also, is it a good or bad thing to have in a coral and invertebrate only tank? Thanks.

You would definitely need 2 par 38s

Depends on the dimensions. I used to have one on my current acrylic cube which is 12x12x12 and one par 38 was more than enough. However I put it on my 18x18x18 acrylic cube and ended up needing at least 2-3 because of the spot light effect.

I have two of the 12" lights above my 7.5 gallon nano and everything was doing well until I found several pests enjoying a buffet with my coral). http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=24397

Thanks for your input. It turns out I do have a pistol shirimp, or at least he appears to be one. Originally when I saw him his appendages looked equal in size, then the other day I finally caught another glimpse of him and it appears that one appendage is larger than the other. I do have some pictures but I need to get them off my phone. If you really want to see some, send me your e-mail address and I can forward from my phone. Thanks again.

I placed an order with LiveAquaria and he, with 3 trapezia crabs and 1 unknown shrimp were all hosting my the bird's nest I received. I kept the crabs and shrimp, but I wasn't sure about the goby. He looks very similar to the yellow goby below, and is about the size of a nickel. Does anyone know if certain gobies will host in a bird's nest? He seemed very at home inside when I pulled him out, so I don't mind putting him in if I need to (though this tank is coral only). Also, anybody know about certain shrimp hosting in bird's nest? He's really small and 99% of the time I can barely see him, but he stays nested in the coral 100% of the time. And last, I hear a knocking noise in my coral only tank all the time now with the introduction of this bird's nest with it's 4+ creatures living in it. It sounds like something is tapping or knocking on the SPS with a metal butter knife... like a hollow echo. Any one know what this could be?

I just brought a cleanup crew from Live Aquaria and one of the peppermint shrimp is pregnant. Right now I have him in the small refugium below, inside my main 25 gallon cube. Anyone have any recommendation on how to raise the babies when they hatch? http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=3621

Hmmm....Interesting. Thanks. I haven't been there in about 10 years but I recall them being better than that. At least I think I remember that because I used to always buy from them.

Thanks.

Any one know where I can buy a peacock mantis online or local?

Thanks Larry.

Great. Thanks for the reply.
