    Default spike yellow strings

    In my SW tank there are yellow spike strands waving, they are almost microscopic or just tiny. tons of them are attached on the glass of my tank, what is it?

    It's kind hard to take a picture of it. I scraped it with a magnet cleaner and it's intact securely. I tried it with my hand and it kinda stung me and it feels like spikes. tried to look for information, but can't find information if I don't know what i'm searching for.

    75 gallon tank decor / subtrate:
    liverocks
    and livesand

    Livestock:
    foxface
    hawkfish
    damsel about 5 or 6
    cowfish
    star and stripes puffer
    2 clowns
    an urchin
    hermits and magrite snails

    Probably a digitate hydroid if it stung you.

    You've got a pretty full house already for a 75 gallon. I wouldn't put any more in.

    I think you need some corals in there it's barren. give the damsels away get corals and more rock to build up a bit for corals to sit nice and high in the tank so your T5 fixture will provide enough light for some SPS- monti's and a stag will do well under T5's. LPS are good to go also.. If you have enough T5's over your tank you can have just about any coral, brains included.

    Seems like the lighting I got is pretty awesome. I gotta rearrange.
