Joshifer September 10, 2013 Share September 10, 2013 It's doesnt look like a feather duster. Or aptasia. Kinda looks like a zoa. But I wouldn't know better. Stuff is just popping out of the rocks. I have some wine color mushrooms popping up too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshifer September 10, 2013 Author Share September 10, 2013 It looks lol aptasia In the photo but it doesn't look like aptasia in person. It doesn't have long pointy or bulbous tentacles. Their thin like a zoa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sachabballi reef September 10, 2013 Share September 10, 2013 it doesn't look like an anemone or aptaisia to me now that I can see it larger...I think mojano... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshifer September 10, 2013 Author Share September 10, 2013 (edited) it doesn't look like an anemone or aptaisia to me now that I can see it larger...I think mojano...Ugh. I wanna nuke everything and start clean but the clown is looking stressed in the tiny tank. I'll wait and see what I can do. Maybe finish cycle and try kalk and peppermints. Unless I find a fish sitter and nuke everything Clown is eating just probably feels boxed in I don't blame him. Params are fine doing water changes as instructed by small reef Speaking of clowns. This is for future reference. How many clowns in 30 gal would be.acceptable? I know they pair and quibble a.bit. Also.world.blue chromis be ok? I like them Edited September 10, 2013 by Joshifer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squishie89 September 10, 2013 Share September 10, 2013 Okay, here are my hitchiker ID sites.

sachabballi reef September 10, 2013 Share September 10, 2013 (edited) You can probably get one more clown...but you are going to want to sex the one you have to make sure you try to pair them edited to add: make sure the one you add it a lot smaller than the one you have already Edited September 10, 2013 by sachabballi reef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Origami September 10, 2013 Share September 10, 2013 Looks kind of light starved, but it does look like a majano from the pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lutz123 September 10, 2013 Share September 10, 2013 Looks like mojano (majano?) to me but I've never had them myself. It should be easier to control now than later. Kalk should be fine. Unless the rock is really terrible or you're keeping something very delicate in there I would just try the kalking first. Your tank must be cycling nicely to have all of this life! Have you tested parameters? BTW, your clown is fine for now. If you have everything figured out in that 8 gallon you could add another now. As babies they are fine in that size for a short time. I added a second ocelleris clown (they are young) last week after one of mine went carpet surfing again (this time he was not so lucky) and they were fine. I picked the smallest one in the tank and they got along right away. Two clowns and a blue green chromis could potentially be fine, though you might consider looking at a blenny or shrimp/goby pair. I like to come up with a list of possibilities and they watch the behavior of what I have before making a final decision. You may find that the clownfish are very active and you want something that will hang out towards the bottom, or be more "chill." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I was told not to. Idk if they ain't gonna kill my fish then I don't mind them. I'm not looking into corals for a long time.

Origami September 10, 2013 Share September 10, 2013 Pasting it with kalk will do the trick. You can also take the rock out and cover it in superglue. Sent from my phone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smallreef September 10, 2013 Share September 10, 2013 Regular cheap dollar store super glue...cyanoacrylate ..... Pull the rock out, they will suck in so make sure you know where they are and glue em over! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Origami September 10, 2013 Share September 10, 2013 Any superglue. The problem with torching them or any coral is the potential for them to release aerosolized toxins. This is especially true of zoanthids or palythoa zoanthids which may product palytoxin - a neurotoxin. But all corals and anemones are members of the cnidaria phylum and are potentially toxic. They're marked by the presence of stinging cells - nematocysts. Some people do torch them, though. My advice is that, should anybody go this route, the ought to do it outside in a well ventilated space and wear a respirator rated for pesticide removal. As for the superglue - just any superglue will work just fine. We tend to use the gel-type in this hobby to mount frags, though. What you're trying to do is to basically close it off from its environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or toss that rock since I have 45 lbs and later I'm adding the 12lbs from the nano. I can't keep the nano.as I made a deal rock for the tank after I cycle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
