More on the new Inhabitants - all acounted for!

There was some shifting so I'll need to re-apply some Aquarium Systems/Marineland HoldFast when I buy more.

Amazing, one of the Peppermint shrimp (Lysmata wurdemanni) molted successfully.

Found the following in the "travel" tank this morning and rescued it:

  • 1/3" Tan Starfish (Class Asteroidea) - he tells me there were 4-5 total, this makes 2.

Noticed the following "new" inhabitants:

  • 5-6x White/translucent/clear Polyps/Anemones, notably with "balls" on the end of some of the tentacles. Hmmm, could be Aiptasia... He thinks they're not and the Peppermint Shrimp always ignored them.

Also, it turns out he forgot to mention the Powerhead was not part of the deal. Once I get the left-overs to the LFS I'll get it back to him.
