Also,

I notice there is these hairy thing that look got legs(quite a few of them, i manage to see 3 legs). dunno is what it has been hiding in one of a hole in my life rock. i did not notice it until i am taking this above pic. then after a while, it hide back into the hole again. no chance to take a pic of the creature. any one know anything? It is a pest? i thin it come together with the rock i buy.

looks normal for a gonio that juz went into the tank...mine didnt show a single tentacle for the 1st day...put on the substrate where it still has direct light --not shaded...it needs feedings of plankton like 2 times a week...thats all i do and all 5 frags of my gonio now happily stretching and waving in the current after 8 months..pretty little corals...
