    Hey everyone,





    My name is Matt. I have always loved Saltwater aquariums. I started a tank to help fill my passion for saltwater. Its a 65 gallon FOWLR.. This is my first tank and I am in hopes to one day have a 180 gallon reef tank.

    Welcome! That first picture looks like some kind of zoanthid polyp.. sounds like you got lucky with a hitchhiker. It's hard to tell what the second is.. looks like some kind of sponge from the picture but I'm not sure on that.

    Looks good so far... are you planning on staying sumpless?
