I got this "thing", im not sure what it is but its pretty ugly too.

It's a Sphaerella species, non-photosynthetic... see, for instance, http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_Display.cfm?pCatId=639

Never seen one in person... is it that ugly?

Hi, Jeff:

I think the thing is pretty, I will buy it from you if you don't want it.
