Hi all! It's been a while since I've been here.

My 32 BioCube is just over a year old and these things have been in a race with the Encrusting Gorgonians (Green Star Polyps?) to take over my rocks... can someone give me an idea of what they are, and more importantly, how I can prevent them from taking over all my rocks?

The only open spots on my rocks are now where the BTA are attached.

They look like brown/purple anemones that stick onto rocks, glass, or anything they can. :)

Help! :)

  • None! My inverts are model citizens. :-)
