    To the right looks like a marine amphipod and the snail looks like a little young Nassarius vibex snail

    do a water test m8 check all your readings like ph, nitrate, phosphate and magnesion.
    If all is ok there i would add some trace element as i think your lighting was ok if i remember from one of your other posts

    i have had the water checked and apart from the amiona being a little high the rest of my perms were ok.I thought i would give the tank plenty of time to cycle.I have worms ,crabs,feather dusters ect doing fine.This is a pic as you can see there was something else on my frag,i thought it might be stinging it so i took it off.No joy so was advised to give it a fresh water dip but as yet still no joy

    That looks like a small malu Anemone to me so it will sting anythink in its reach m8
    but if this Anemone as been round it for long, then it might of done the damage already m8
    make sure you keep an eye on the Anemone and put it some were away from any other corals.

    Yes mate i i have had a look on google and i think that you are right.The anemone has gone to the big fish tank in the sky as my tank is just no big enough for it.Now that you mention it,it had moved around the frag while it was on there.As of 10 am this morning no poylpsit looks as if it has done the damage, this was my first coral and i think the seller should of known about this still we live and learn
