jonathan543 Posted March 14, 2005 Author Share Posted March 14, 2005 yes they do moved... actually i collected them on 3pcs of rock on the beach... 1st day in my tank all the blue dots are gone... then after 3days the dots are back and some of them actually crawled onto my glass! but u dun actually c them move... think they move when lights are out. dunno if they're parasites but so far they din do any damage to my corals wor.... when i 1st spotted them, i din caught sight of the green colour... it's the blue dots! in the wild they're much much more in brilliant blue dots. think it's my poor water condition ba...

Sponsor henry@ml Posted March 21, 2005 Sponsor Share Posted March 21, 2005 Don't panic. Yes, they are ascidians. . . commonly known as green scale tunicates. Harmless but could grow and colonise surrounding areas given the right conditions. Look appealling with its irredescence blue. However' not easy to sustain in aquarium though. Need very strong lightings, high flow and continuous nutrient uptake. You picked it up from the beach . . .recollect the habitat it was anchored on and that will give you an idea of its requirements cheers henry Quote Join us on Facebook! henry'sreefgourmet - your fish, corals and critters will love it!
