Jawfish, Shrimp/Goby Pairs, and Picture ID
1/25/19
Good Morning Bob,
Please see attached photos but I was wondering if the sand in the tank was too
coarse for either a shrimp/goby pair or for Jawfish.
<It is not too coarse. Should work fine w/ the rubble et al. here>
The sand is fine overall but with a lot of rubble and broken sea shells.
Also one of the pictures has some type of tiny shrimp I was hoping you could
help identify.
<Not from this pic, no>
Kind of looks like a tiny Mantis shrimp and there are three of them in the tank.
<Do keep your eyes open... IF you're starting to miss other livestock, trapping
may be in order... (See WWM), or at the worst, systematically dismantling your
rock work, tank to remove them... IF they are Stomatopods; start causing
trouble.>
In the picture of the sand I was wondering if you knew what those black stick
things are on the right side of the picture. They are hollow and looks like some
type of tube.
<Yes; appear to be some type/species of Featherduster, tubeworm>
The green algae on the left is in one of those tubes. Do you know of any type of
organism from the Gulf of Mexico that would have green tentacles like that as I
assume it's some type of algae growing from the tube?
<Looks to be a Green... perhaps a Chlorodesmis species... hopefully
controllable... not Derbesia or... Bryopsis>
Thanks for taking the time to answer and hope you have a great day. P.S. Are you
going to be at Reef Palooza in Orlando this year, I believe it's sometime in
April? Jason
<Don't know; but I would. I thought the folks were going to ask me to speak
there last year.
Cheers, Bob Fenner>
