    why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.

    1) Protula magnifica?

    2) Looks like Sabellastarte magnifica?

    3) Sphaeramia nematoptera or pajama cardinalfish.

    4) Tridacna gigas?

    5) Either Lysmata amboinensis or Lysmata grabhami depending on the tail pattern.

    If you've learnt, teach, if you have, give.
    Don't walk behind me as I might not lead, don't walk in front of me as I might not follow. Walk beside me, as my friend.

    bring a perspex that's longer than 2ft so you can put your flash over the water surface. the current pix are being flashed only from the front and not really ideal.

    the clam at the top right hand corner is a squamosa, the clam in the centre is crocea.

    tridacna gigas is brownish in color and grow very big.The clam makes excellent natural filtration specimen for the reef tank.They feed on the nitrates.

    Hi hwchoy,

    The #1 and #2 ... those are closeup pics?

    Pic 1 - Looks to be part of the "filter mouth" of the Cocoworm or Christmas worm (Serpulidae family - build tubes made out of calcium carbonates).These specimen make a nice addition to the reef tank although they rarely live long being (IMO) specialize feeders. My one live to about 3 - 4 years despite the addition of photoplankton to my reef tank.

    Pic 2 - This looks like the common all time favourite the tubeworm (sabellastarte indica)(Sabellidae family - build tubes from soft materials made out of polysaccharides) The tube worm can easily colonize your live rock although the color is sowhat dull.

    As always,nice photos hwchoy ...
