I have a seahorse tank that I completely beached and scribed clean a yr ago. It's just started growing corline algae. I just found glass anemones, I have not added ANY new rock to the tank or put in water from any other tank. What the hell? I hate these guys. Ideas where the little aholes came from?

How was the sand and rock cleaned before adding into the cleaned tank?

Was it live sand or dry? The old rock was bleached and scrubbed? Have you added anything at all? Any type of macro algae? Was the filter seeded in another tank?

Weird the bleach should have killed them off unless they where able to tuck themselves way away... I had 3 come in on frags in my frag tank. One got squeegeed off the glass and flushed. The other two where on a rock that has a large garf purple bonsai on it. Those two met mr. superglue and were buried in a glob of it not to be seen again.
