Pic and Better Description...


Okay, I asked about this before, but no one could quite tell from the description. How about from the pic? Not sure what it is, and there are a bunch, so I kinda want to find out EARLY ON whether I am in trouble.

It is the little white "crystalline thingy" in the middle of the pic. Star Trek geeks - looks like the "Crystalline Entity" that Data and Lor dealt with.

Thanks!

I believe you have a species of hydroid there. I have them in my tank. They never really get any bigger and don't seem to spread.

I have one in my tank too, not harmful and has not spread in a year. Kind of interesting in my opinion.
