This web page is great for identifying invertebrates and algae that hitchhike their way into our tanks. http://www.xtalworld.com/Aquarium/hitchfaq.htm

Those mini anenomes are pests and you do not want them in your tank. They are more then likely Aiptaisa (do a search on these)

I think this should be in the general reefing forum now that its diversified. Should get lots of help there.

I only skimmed through but u said u didn't have a powerhead? Go get one right now u NEED flow even without fish water that doesent move goes stagnant

well what i have in there now is two filters and a air pump from one of my other little tanks so there is lots of movement in there.. still need a powerhead?

Sry I missed that u had filters as long as there's water movement you will be fine but u will want to ditch the filters ASAP they just end up being nitrate factories but good thing is sometimes you can convert then to reactors of sorts holding carbon and such but they will still need weekly cleaning

yes. maybe more than 1. the water needs to be moving everywhere.

In my 20g sps nano that houses my mandarin & 10yr. old percs has a 500gph power filter, Vortech MP 20, and I have also played with a 1400gph Koralia in there but it may a little bit to large, so may sell it and get a smaller Koralia
