but i could never get a good picture of it. last night i tried again with my cell phone and i got decent pictures to at least show what im looking at. on this little piece of rock there are these white things, they look hard and have an opening. well when i turn on tank lights and you see they have tentacle type things coming out of them. very thin, sway with the current and will trap food like flakes or pellets, i never noticed with blood worms and mysis shrimp though. last night i fed pellets and flakes to my crew while defrosting some mysis, after a minute of watching the fish eat i noticed these things coming out and the part that is tube-like with the tentacles coming out has a pellet on the opening so i decided to take a few pictures, and by a few i mean like 30 until i had two or three decent pictures that you can tell what i was looking at if you are uncertain what im trying to point out i will open the images in paint and circle what it is and upload again. i have a digital camera, but its the same mp as my phone lol so i didnt bother to dig it out yet even though im sure i can still get better pictures with that
they dont seem harmful, they dont take over the tank. i have noticed these a few months ago and kept an eye on them but dont seem to be getting any worse so i assumed they are safe

i also have a shell from that i have always wondered what it was, its attached to my live rock. it looks like the spirorbid worms. i think i saw something retract in one day but never really noticed anything sticking out... glad to see that these guys are all good hitchhikers thank you for the link PP really helpful and helped me ID something i never tried to before yet cause i never noticed something live in it

Ok.
I've seen a lot of nice looking nudibranchs on tv, I know they are usually predatory, but if I could get the right kind I would do a species only tank with them.
So my question is, are they readily available in the pet trade?

Even though I dont have a saltwater tank, that was an interesting article. Also I did get some information I needed, on my hair algae but I really am sorta happy with my hair algae, its staying pretty confined and I dont think its out of control. Plus, its kind of cool-looking.
