I've had those before. Hard to find, even though I had quite a few. Not bad stuff, I don't believe. Ace named them once before, but I forgot what he said they were. They are sticky, right? Always growing just out of direct light?

He is in full light, although at the very bottom of tank. And yes they are hard to see with full light I onlynoticed it cause of the neon green spec under my atiniks only last night.
My live rock has been in a tank for 6 weeks now is it normal for things to go dormant for that long?

I have some in my FOWLR. I think they are called ball anemones.
I put some peppermints in there to try and eradicate them.

It's a unique set up. Not crazy about it, kind of looks like rocks floating in the water. Maybe if the individual rocks were connected in some way... As a backdrop?
And the little rocks in the middle really makes the larger chunks on the glass that much bigger, and floaty.
Don't get me wrong, I can certainly appreciate that I will look different when coral has grown in, but looking at it now-
I always hated the rock stacked in a wall sort if way, but at that point it looks looks more like a reef. I prefer the piller/plateau look, and it's not natural... But the sporadic display of rocks defying gravity in an avatar set up is a little far for me.
I'm very impressed with the time you're taking to set this up the right way though, kudos.

Thanks, at first I had the "itch" and to be honest I'm still fighting it. ADHD definately does not help lol and I know exactly what you mean about the spaces bwtween the rocks and it never occured to me until a few hours after looking at them. But I can't think of a way to fill in the gaps without mixing more mud and filling them in...but unless you know a safe mix that won't add lime and other cement hydration byproducts to the tank I can't think of a way to do it.

Use the emaco mortar, has to dry first, but can be added into the tank after it dries.

This just popped into my head....a buttload of marine safe silicone mixed with white argonite.....will it cure underwater? The only other thing I can think of us to use my kids aquariums I bought last week....a 3.9 fluvial view...and a 4gal marineland that I've got cycling (with crushed coral from my fuge and water from my display to speed up the cycle....to house my clowns turbo shrimp and urchin while I drain the tank cement the gaps and let it re-cycle. The only problem is my wife would kill me for making her wait again. She was on the fence up until 2 weeeks ago about even doing saltwater and now she seems to be even more excited than I am

Maybe some interestingly shaped rocks that piller up and lean against the open areas, thus filling some of the blank areas.
