I dropped a bioball in the hole...

sounds like a stomatella. they are herbivores. But without a pic... does it look like this? http://reefs.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=54288 try a search on stomatella.

Lemon juice? Why put something in your tank that could mess with the pH? If it is too small to ID now, I would would wait a bit for it to get bigger before I do anything to it. You could be nuking something cool!

Have you ever dosed your FW tank with any copper based meds? Some reef animals can not survive with too much copper in thier environment.

The reason I ask... The company I work for builds houses. We get more and more Pex optioned in place of copper. Ofcourse I see tons of scraps laying all over.

didn't feel hollow at all. so far today everything seems ok, but the solitary cup corals have not opened.

It was solid when I picked it out, it didn't fall apart at all. As a last ditch I gave it a good rattling before dropping it into the porceline coffin. It didn't fall apart at all.

If there is I have not seen or heard from it. I did add ALOT of live rock, but the rick is from the LFS show tank and had been in there for years. I did find both a brittle star and a serpent star and two peppermint shrimp so anything is possible. Quick side story... When my LFS close the other...

I hope it suffered :)

What happens to that whirley-gig when stuff starts growing on it?

Salt creep.... *blah*

Is anyone familiar with Quest-Pex? Has it been used in plumbing for anyone's tank? I wonder if it leaches anything from whatever plastics it is made of.

I like to stick with the smaller blue hermits... Seems like I only ever see the red's tooling around in previously occupied snail shells. My kids like the arrow crab, but I like the polyps and feather dusters that it picks at. Maybe an emerald crab instead?

Taking an opposite tack, here, I am looking for something in which to feed my blue damsel to. It's a mean little bugger, but I have had it longer than any other fish, so I am also attached to it. I lost count of the tank mates it killed by stressing them out. Before anyone says anything, I got...
