We found a new invert in Little Bright Reef last night. On the very top arch, situated so that you could only see it when viewing from slightly higher than the top of the tank and from the left corner, is a pale red feather duster worm with a white tube. At first I was afraid I was seeing a small aptasia, but when I moved to get a better view, it sucked itself back into the tube and I realized what it was.

I asked the guy if I could get starphire glass on the front and sides and that they didn't do that, Well I thought to myself Ive seen other people post that they had a Marineland tank with starphire I thought Melevs was that way as well, So I emailed them to see if it was still possible. (I hope so but ...
