They won't bother corals, but all eels wedge themselves into LR and have a lovely tendancy to rearrange the rockwork.

I agree with Lance. Do a partial water change once a week (I do 10-20%, roughly). If you have a fairly good filtration system with LR and such, it suffices just fine.

Thank you.

Haha, yeah. I actually haven't heard it in a couple of nights...

No copper. They came from a LFS and seemed to be in good health. The water doesn't stink, believe me, I checked.

I'd think there would be bodily harm though. I watched mine stagger around the tank bottom for a few minutes, without any injury to him and then he just lay down and died.

Looks in good health. What I don't understand is, my first cleaner shrimp had molted once, so I didn't think their was an iodine/iodide defficiency. And then would that affect them as quickly as a day?

Yeah, I have crabs and a peppermint shrimp and the appear to be doing fine. The urchin idea sounds pretty smart.

I use a slower version of the turkey baster method. Half a baster store water out, half a baster tank water in every... 10(?) minutes. But I would think they would have succumbed to shock a lot sooner than a couple of weeks (or in the last one's case, a day).

Okay, so I've had a cleaner shrimp for a few weeks when it suddenly died. After testing water, I determined it was an unknown natural cause of death. So, I bought another one yesterday. He died today; I found a nassarius snail devouring him. So now I'm beginning to think, is there something I...

It varies. Sometimes there's only a few clicks spaced out and other times there's several clicks sounding a bit more rapidly.

Approximately... two months ago.

All rock was added before the clown. No new rock additions since.

Every night I hear an odd clicking sound in my tank and I am terrified that it may be a mantis shrimp. The only problem is, I had never heard the noise before I got my clownfish. When I got him, I heard the clicking noise and assumed it was him. Could that be correct, or is it just hopeless...

Check your water parameters first. If there is a spike in something, it could be causing them massive stress.
