Sporadic hydroids will not reproduce but will soon disappear.
Consider a peppermint to clean up small nems.

Rocks look great. Just for my own education, if that rock is coming from the sea, how do you ensure it doesn’t have disease such as ich/velvet that can be passed on to the fish? Thanks.
Scroll down this page to learn about diseases: What is REAL live rock?

So having beautiful rock and all the accompanying life would be welcome in my sump.
Lovely sump there.

I’m setting up a new tank. I ordered 100lbs base rock, 250lbs of premium rock, and 120lbs of sand. I did the math it should be just the right amount for my 60g mixed reef. I love seeing these threads! I can’t wait to see my order! Everything except the premium arrives on the 4th of march and the premium march 24th I believe. Oh and also grabbed 20lbs of nano rock for sump. Btw, I was just kidding about the 60g. It’s a 230g display and 32g sump.

Isn’t that a mantis?
Only a threat to small snails and hermits. I’m not worried at all. Plus it’s a 45 gallon for a 2” long mantis, can’t do that much damage. More work trying to get him out than what he’ll do

Glad you’re joking— I was about to stage an intervention.

I love that Mantis. However, will it not grow to the point that it becomes a threat to larger inhabitants?
