Good afternoon to all of my fellow reef enthusiasts! I recently inherited a stocked and well established Bio-Cube 29. I've been able to identify most of what's in it, but I'm having trouble identifying one item. It's a rusty/maroon color, with a soft, flat, fleshy "lobe-like" body. Anyone have...

hello TRT!, as you can already read, i have some RUST in my overflow box because i dont have suction cups for my overflow so i threw 5-6 of my fishing sinkers in there to have weight so i can have the box supported by 2 stainless steel rods to hold it up, and my fishing sinkers are building up...
