Please help me identify some random things that showed up in my tank *56k warning*
Hello all,
I have a fairly new Reef Tank..it's been setup for about 4 months. A few items have appeared which I did not introduce into the tank and I was wondering your you all could help me identify these items and tell me whether or not they are bad for the tank. Thanks in advance for any help. Item 1: This pink coral looking item that started growing in between my yellow corals: Item 2: This pile of black stuff thats on the underside of my liverock: Item 3: This zebra striped item thats sitting on my life rock in between some coral: Thanks again, -Ed

Yeah thats what everything looks like to me; nothing terrible but you might want to get a couple of mithrax (emerald) crabs to take care of the bubble algae

I would do a search on sundials. I thought I heard they were bad.

1. Anthelia, maybe xenia. hard to call.
2. some form of bubble algae. possibly Valonia sp. 3. more than likely it is a Sundail Snail. they will eat your zoos, so remove ASAP! once removed, look at the flap that covers the snail when closed. if it is pointy, kinda cone shaped, its a Sundail get rid of it!

OK thanks for the info guys. I'll pull the snail and keep it in the sump until I can do more research on it.

Sorry for the fuzzy pics, I tried to size them down but I guess I hurt the image in the process. My Kodakphotogallery ones seem to be sized down without much issue, here's a link to the album, no logon required.
