Check out Reefs.org Hitch Hiker FAQ (http://www.reefs.org/hhfaq/pages/main_pages/faq_rock1.htm) and see if your Unidentified Fish tank Object is listed there before you post :D Thanks.

:) This site will probably be of more benefit to the very confused aquarist. www.disclosureproject.org/

Did you read the first post in this thread? Did you look for the UFO you have? I looked it up for you HERE (http://www.reefs.org/hhfaq/pages/picture_pages/faq_bristle.html)

Hello. I have a small 6 gallon tank. In my tank I have a long tipped anemone and three feather dusters (a Hawaiian feather duster and two small colored ones) plus some live rock, crabs, and snails (no fish at this point b/c I had a small ick problem that killed my clownfish). I went on vacation and when I returned I noticed a few new creatures in my tank.

Baby Anemone?
Suddenly I notice that I have a few (three or four) of what appear to be baby anemones. One is living on one of my feather dusters' tube and the rest are on the live rock. They are a too small to take a picture of but they are pink (a little larger then a pin) with small tentacles with little white balls on them. The creature closes up just like an anemone when something goes near it. It actually looks just like a baby anemone.

Unknown Critters - Please help
The other new critters in my tank look like small bugs that creep around in my live rock, corals, and around my feather dusters (the larger ones being almost a centimeter, the smaller ones are a millimeter or so). They are whiteish or brownish in color (whiter as they get bigger) and almost look like worms (but crawl...so worms with legs) and have two to three antennae on their head. There seems to be quite a few of these. Please help!

Has anyone considered back logging all the UFO's that have been id's and making a sticky page with just the pic's and the id's / possible id's?
it would be easier for people looking for something and there would be less repeats of simple id's like bristle worms ect...

I believe that has come up many many times and we are always working on updates and ways to improve the site. This suggestion will help out tremendously.

That will be taken into close consideration. I wish i would have thought of that.

Took a look at reefs.org and could not find these there. Anything bad here ? What is number 3 ??? Sometimes one of the 3 tube like clear things retract into the LR - didnt seem to like the hydor koralia pump pointed at it. I have no idea what this stuff is - good/bad. LR is very interesting. No fish yet obviously. Thanks.

one and two are yellow polyps

#3 might be hydroids.
