Oh boy where u bought these live rocks from? U got soft corals, nudibranch, starfish, etc. Ur rocks look like just dig from the sea one leh.

[ervine]

[junyong84]

alien 1 is a sea squart

yup, it is actually a tunicate, filter feeder and good for filtering your tank's water and harmless, not easy to keep unless you have plenty of food for them.

[ah_d3x]

hm... alien 3 looks more like a star fish to me.

[sunny03]

2 and 4 look like glove polys

[RAV-65]

Alien 2 and 4 look like some sort of star polyps, could even be xenias!!

[cheese]

alien 1 is a tunicate or known as sea squirt....not harmful

as for alien 3...IMO...looks like a crown of thorns star fish which is a coral eater...better get it out

This is a sea squid but it seems to be infested with flatworms, unless the brown dots are part of it.....flatworms infestation are not to be mess around with....i would do a lugol dip to get rid of them if i were you, too many bad experience already.....

Alien 3

This one looks like "crown of thorns" baby- it's a kind of starfish.......don't seems to be good to me....

[cheese]

find the starfish...if it has thorns...then it is the crown of thorns starfish...if it doesnt have thorns....then i dont know what type it is....from the pics it looks very thorny...btw....crown of thorns has many legs....much more then 6...

Confirmed, it have SEVEN legs!!!! So, should I terminate it?

[blueheaven]

[cheese]

Today that fellow 'float head'. Almost wanted to execute it, but give him a chance of justice. Here's another picture.

Bro Judges, your sentence please.

[blueheaven]

[damienkee]

Actually, there are many more things coming out from the LR and are growing slowly. Will show u all as they grow much bigger if they really survive. Siao liao, how can I ID them friend/foe...

Here's Alien 5. Thought its dead, touch it hard hard like part of the rock while carrying it home. So put it right behind. Who know it glow greenish under blue light after some time.

Friend/foe?
