i can only see one pic, and not very well, but im going to guess a feather duster which is harmless.

Also, please dont double post threads

 

[The rookie]

LF sorry about the double posts im just a dumba-- trying to upload pics wont happen again and thanks for the info, much appreciated

I agree, hard to see from the pic, but it looks to be a feather duster, which is a good hitch hiker. Congrats!

Better pictures I hope

feather duster and cyano

 

[The rookie]

Is cyano alright? like i said im real new to this! And thanks a ton for the info

 

[little_fish]

the cyano can grow out of control, so I would suck out what you can see whenever you do your water changes. Cyano is always from an overload of nutrients, which is really common in new tanks. So to prevent a takeover, do your water changes, dont over feed and dont overstock

Again thanks for the great info and sorry to be a bother, one more question, is there a cuc that would eat cyano. I currently have an emerald crab and 3 "dwarf" hermit crabs no fish yet.

dwarf cerith snails work nice :D they will power house it if you get enough of them to control it Or Florida Cerith, Nerite Snails. reefcleaners.org has great CUC's per-made or you can customize your CUC to your needs there. Its a great site for a reefer on a budget.

Thanks

Thanks

No Prob we all are new at some point and we are all here to help where we can.:Cheers:

there are actually no CUC critters that are known to always eat cyano, on occasion some will but they are the exeption to the rule. Getting rid of cyano always comes down to nutrient export
