No @Elementalj i harvest them from the inlet and did my research haha

Its a fuzzy chitton :)

Oh ok. That's real cool! I dont have any chitons yet. Im a control freak and try very hard to not put anything unknown in my tank. The newest critter Ive allowed to stay is a pink stomatella.

Chitons are amazing cleaners...so active and hefty...wont mess with corals...or eat anything other then algae. Fish cant kill them or crabs because of their strong armor

So this would be a good defense against Bryopsis?

My boss buys them from me 5$ a piece 20 at a time for a huge cilinder tank full of algae

That link was crazy @Elementalj

Other than the occasional grammatical errors, the information was surely interesting!

 

[Babygecko1233]

@stevo01 yes chittons will work for bryposis.. But lettuce nudis are a lil better for bryposis. Chittons are active eaters of all sorts of algeas. Especially gha

I think the anemone is a type of ball anemone. From what ive read they arent invasive although I have about 20 small ones in my tank. They dont seem to irritate anything and only come out in dimly lit areas.

Is this tank meant to be a reef tank or fish only?

 

[Babygecko1233]

Mix I guess. we have a carpet anemone. Two tube anemones. A few hitchhiker oysters of some sort. One sergeant major. One frill fin goby. Two nudi branches (for hair algae). One scary mystery nudi (now in the refugium) one pencil urchin. A couple nurite snails and a couple hermits and one turbo snail and aggravating bristle worms. Oh and a fuzy chiton

If you dont mind me asking why did you decide to start your tank with rock like this? The nudis and aiptasia are difficult but manageable, but they are hitchikers you can see. What about ones you cant thatll make keeping corals difficult as well as leaching nutrients from the rocks?
