Saltwater tank pics (tribute to blong!)

ilikemittens · 06-05-2005, 05:16 PM

I was at my sister's house in the afternoon yesterday and they have a salt water tank. I wanted to just take a pic of the Nemo-looking fish but it was a lot harder than I thought. So I just took pics of the other stuff in the tank. I'll have to tell you blong, after taking some time to actually look up close at this stuff I realized it's a lot more beautiful than I thought. Sill, I'll NEVER touch any of that lol.

I tried to get a picture of everything I saw in there. Here's some other things that were a little too blurry for me but I thought were neat anyway: the fish with one eye, Jacque the shrimp (I think?? lol), bend, the whole tank, and the camera-shy creature.

I don't know what any of those things are called, so they're numbered if someone wants to help out naming them.

1. Are a colony of zoanthids. Some contain one of the most toxic of toxins in the world. basically its like 4 micrograms can kill you in 30 seconds i believe. just make sure you dont have any open wounds on y ou and if you get into the tank wash your hands immediatly afterwards. dont do what someone i know did and eat right after you were in y our tank. guy went numb within a minute of doing so.

2. Looks like some sort of bubble coral not positive though

3. seamonkey already told ya what this one is. I would gladly take it as well

Apparently #6 is a green brittle star known to eat fish/coral/other types of living creatures. Hehehe

Thanks for the comments (and the names to go with the pics, blong!)

I remember my sister saying a few of those names and since I know nothing about it, it was sort of in one ear and out the other. "Uh huh... oh yeah? Ahhh... frog spawn... that's cool... uh huh..."

ah, I thought it was a snake. I'm deathly afraid of snakes.

Me too, Lopo. Me too.
