I noticed the other day that i have what appears to be grass like stringy things growing off of my live rock. this is my first SW and has been set up for approx 2 months and i have a blue damsel in there. oh 16g bowfront. i checked the params everything is ideal or in the safe range. should i worry about these string like things or are they normal? thanks for all replies

cleaner shrimp won't do much... try an emerald crab or a sally lightfoot.
if this was like a 30 i'd say a hectors or rainford goby...

ohhh boy, i had a fun spell of this about a year ago and it consumed most all the tank within a few days. had the cleanest water ever lol with no nutrients what so ever. Came out fine in the end. sally's do a great job of chomping away at this, and depending on size of system a lawnmower would do well too

Sally lightfoot (grapsus grapsus) can grow up to about 4 inch across shell, plus legs, so, in the home marine aquarium, they can be classed as pretty big crab....There is sometimes confusion when these are small, with the Flat Rock Crab (percnon plasissimum), however, these only stay about 1 inch in shell size..
Emerald crabs are often refered to as Mithrax crabs, yes....

Thanks, i have an escuse, I was at work, and got the feeling of rushing my post so i happened to miss it. I also didnt notice it in his sig either, i failed!!
lolLive rock has all sorts of life on it, I've noticed the same thing in my aquarium, stringy worm looking things picking up sand and such. They don't seem to be harmful.
