Your black and white worm is a Glorious flatworm (Pseudobiceros gloriosus)

 

[Dr. Schell]

I'd get that out before you get any clams or other molluscs. Good luck with the trapping, I have set the precedent. Alternatively, this may be a peanut worm which is beneficial. A pit hard to make out from the photo.

I have to try and work out how to make it up from your diagram!

@TheJordans I was beginning to get a little concerned that the Hermits had met there demise, from an unknown predator!
For 3 whole days there was no sign of the little guys, and then late last night, I spotted one in the rock work. Then this morning before heading off to work, I found another 2 getting about.

Phew!

 

[TheJordans]

Awesome news!! They should be happy in there, that's for sure :-D

@dr_schell's ID challenge. Episode #378.

Any idea what this is? It has a mouth looking directly at me, and one pointed up towards the top of the tank, when it sensed me the holes closed. Inside the 'mouth' looks to be a greeny yellow spine-like organism.

is a sea-squirt (aka tunicate)

Cycle complete.

Can now start to add corals and some more CUC. No fish plans for the moment ( well, at least for 24 hours).

Added this, this morning.

stunning, good form, shape and colouration, would be good breeding stock. Are they Captive bred or wild caught?

My Helio I picked up on the weekend.

 

[Cosby]

I also made an attempt at some home made food for the clowns and future inhabitants.

I purchased some granules with the clowns that they were really struggling to chew/eat/swallow.

After seeing @OSCAR85's home made mix I thought I'd have a crack at it, and the Clowns absolutely loved it.

Just a few more pics I've put up on Instagram that I'll paste here of my little bits and pieces.

Hey @Cosby or @OSCAR85 - Any chance of a link to the recipe in question? I tried to search it but I'm not having much joy ;)

Looking good, @Cosby!! Loving the new additions!
