Definitely look like them! Have you observed them eating coraline algae which Ive heard they do? If so I need to get a few

I haven't noticed it specifically but I'll look for it

Got the tank cleaned up, got a little more coral, and got some flow going. I've had endless trouble with the wav pumps. I'm down to 3 working ones after starting with 10 new pumps three to two years ago. Not a great track record there.

I now have 4x reef octopus 4+ pumps, 3x mp 60's, and 3 wav pumps still going. 6 on my back wall and 4 on the peninsula.

Reef Octopus seems like the value play, but boy do those mp60's move water.

10 wavemakers and 10 lights, so I can let a few fail and still be good to go!

Rescaped and added coral, more trace elements in the dosing containers, more water changes and more amino acid and food. I'm hoping the calcification starts to take off

Wow! I need a "find the _____ in the photo" guide - so much life in your tanks!
What am I looking at here (circled)?

Thank you, that one is a "Hawaiian Tube Worm", or a feather duster worm. It is a cool tube worm that can shrink back into their tube and is relatively common. You can find them for sale for ~$15. I like having a few in a low flow, low light area. A fun fact is they have survived from around the Jurassic era 200 million years ago. Another one of those living fossils.

Oh! I thought it was a spiny fish or invert living in your peaceful tank. I actually have one from Florida but thought for sure I was seeing rigid spikes. Thanks for the fun fossil fact. I may try to add a fossil activity to my aqua class next year.
