Clean tank = Happy fish and inverts

Today, I wiped the tank down with an algae cloth made for acrylic tanks and used a siphon to vacuum about 5 gallons of water from the bottom.

We are starting to see more and more of the Pearly Jawfish.  The purple Star Polyps are starting to be seen in other areas of the reef. I have been advised that there must be something other than the fish and hermit crabs in the tank moving them. I suspect a worm or a shrimp from the live rock; however, I have not caught nor seen him yet.
