Re: additions to my 33 gallon
on closer inspection this morning, there are more polyps (if that is in fact what they are) then i realized. There are about 20 that I see right now. So I am more interested in helping them to survive and hopefully spread. Does anyone have any advice?
They are only about 1/8 inch tall right now, could I expect them to get any bigger maybe? Current Aquarium(s) Description: *72 gallon bowfront reef *55 gallon freshwater puffer/cichld tank Experience in Saltwater & Reef Aquarium Hobby: One Year

Re: additions to my 33 gallon
This is a pic of my scat getting the inside of his mouth cleaned...
I do know that he will need a bigger tank, and I do plan to upgrade before too long. I bought him about a year ago and he is still only about 2.5 inches in diameter. I was misinformed when I purchased him. Oh well, I like him and it's a good excuse to get a bigger tank soon  Current Aquarium(s) Description: *72 gallon bowfront reef *55 gallon freshwater puffer/cichld tank Experience in Saltwater & Reef Aquarium Hobby: One Year

Re: additions to my 33 gallon
i'm not sure what the polyps are. I haven't seen anything like that before.
It is indeed cool watching the cleaner shrimp. I have a small yellow watchman goby, and he's the only fish in the tank that will let the shrimp clean him. It's halarius when the shrimp cleans inside his mouth because he's about 5 times the size of the goby. they first time I saw it happen I thought the watchman was dead because the shrimp was rolling him around like crazy. then, the watchman busted loose from him, swam for a second, then came right back for more!

Re: additions to my 33 gallon
Are those antelia. Is it pinkish. If so it should grow if it looks like it is staying healthy.

Re: additions to my 33 gallon
They look clove polyps or maybe psp, but either way they are very hardy and don't require a ton of light. On a side note though they can be aggressive growers and take over a tank, so I would locate the rock away from the rest so it dosn't spread to the other rocks.
Great pics BTW
