Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

They really are. I always just see hermits falling from the top of my tanks seems.

One made the fatal mistake of crawling into my trachys mouth.

I was trying to reduce the population anyways for the snails to reproduce.

2 hermits, one coral.

2 hermits, one coral..... nope not gonna touch that one.

Two lawnmower glennies would be intense!

Our lawnmower blenny jumped out 2 days before my screen top arrived.

Is this some kind of pest on my goni? I noticed this weird thing pop out of nowhere.

Is it a little feather duster looking thing? Hard to tell in that pic.

SOOOO much sassy this morning, seems like everyone woke up on the right side of the bed ;)

It doesn’t look like any feather duster I’ve seen. It kind of looks like a ceiling fan blade.

I’ve zoomed in a bit.

Does it taste like chicken??

I did 50% WC yesterday.
Things are looking a little better.
May still use the slime away but the cyano has slowed down so I'm waiting it out right now, not sure how long I'll let it go.
Today I dosed vibrant, just going to do the clean aquarium light dosage for now to see if it will knock out the last of the nuisance algae.
Few photos from today.
@living_tribunal my chalices are all lookin' happy!

If that’s what i think it is, totally harmless. My Goni has one too, it’s a little calcified tube with a fan thingy that comes out and can retract instantly. Grows off the base of the rock the Goni was fragged out of. Here’s a pic of the tube. Someone id’d it for me forever ago, forgot what they called it though. You can see the tube peeking out in these pics,

the fan part will come out at night after the Goni retracts.

I think many have a wrong perception of nutrients (or maybe I do)

I believe it’s not more of an are they present or not instead of levels kind of thing.

I think corals are like dogs: they appreciate schedules and knowing what they’re going to get and the time they’re going to get it. Corals always need the big 3 as well as nitrate and phosphate. All 5 should always be present. As long as there is enough for them to pull them they’re ok. I think ranges are important as they may indicate how accessible the nutrient is I.e. a coral may detect low range and tell itself to ration the nutrient or starve itself. Or it may tell itself that the nutrient is nearing bottoming out.

When levels fall or raise slowly, the corals just know what to expect and when to expect it. People obsess over ranges but I feel like they need to obsess more over accessibility.

I like the thought process behind this & am gonna have to agree!

That kind of looks like a sponoid. Does yours ever appear flat and similar to a fan blade?

Mine has a heavy blue appearance as well. I’m not sure if it’s living or not.

It makes me feel bad for the corals when I see all of these people running 0 nitrate and phosphate.

I just don’t get it.

A spionid worm? That’s not it. But it really looks like a little mini feather duster, you can see it waving around in the current, it opens up like a little white flower. I suppose under strong blue light it might appear blue.

but definitely alive!

What mine is looks nothing like a feather duster. I have a few feather dusters in the tank. This is a specific geometric shape.

This is what it looks like, no feather duster heads come out, no tubes.

That Miami hurricane is looking beautiful! Send some full tank shots, I want to see how much gha is left.

From the pictures you provided, it looks like very little.
