Sweet, a reef tank thread!

I just started a 29g Bio Cube. Obligatory full tank shot:



Still waiting for it to cycle. Can't wait to add a clean up crew, hermit crabs are badass!

Found a creepy hitchhiker crab in my tank tonight!

He's in the center of this pic, chilling on the rock.





Looks like some sort of Xanthid, probably not good to keep in there, eh?

Pom-Pom Crab vanished as soon as he was in the tank. Yes, I realize he has no pom-poms, and LiveAquaria has recieved my irritated email about it.

I'm pretty sure this isn't all that uncommon (both the vanishing and the lack of anemones). I had one who only had one anemone, and my friend had one like yours without any at all. They both did just fine.

They're nocturnal so you probably won't see him unless you check out your tank at night. Get some moonlights if you don't already have some :)

Your tank's looking awesome! I agree that sea slugs are badass. I want one or two for my 30 gallon but I really know nothing about them other than that they are awesome. If anyone has experience with them I'd love to hear what you need to do to keep them.

Mystery coral #1 looks like a group of zoas, can't tell what #2 is. Maybe some sort of weird encrusting zoanthid or monti frag? Got a better picture?

Need some advice, saltwater gurus...

I recently found a MAMMOTH aiptasia hiding in the back of my tank (it's a good 2 inches long with its tentacles stretched out). How should I go about getting rid of the sucker? I've used lemon juice on smaller ones in the past, but I'm really worried about this thing breaking up and spawning even more.
