Looks like a cup coral to me.

It has never come out anytime I have been watching. I have never seen a bristle worm with a mouth on it like this.

Fleshy part.

I have a open brain coral for 4 months now. I noticed a hole appear in it awhile (3 months) ago but noticed nothing at the time. I looked at it tonight and there is a creature in the hole! I could not get a clear pic of it but here is the best description I can give. It looks like the creature...

I would like to get a carpet anemone. This is the main reason for the MH but also there are a lot of SPS that interest me.

Where do you find a list of such items on the CITES list?

I have a new tank as my old one had a seal that started to let go. This one is a 65 with the dims of 36x18x26. I have one 250 MH now that is not yet mounted. Due to a center brace I was thinking of getting another 250. Is this too much? I realize this is about 7.7 wpg which is not too much but...

I used a razor blade and some natural fiber twine. The twine just disolves after a few weeks.

Today I noticed one of the sealed edges looked to have some sand behind it and as I looked closer it looks as if there is a water pocket in a couple spots around the seam. Has anyone seen this and if so is it close to letting go? Oh yeah, the water pocket is almost to the end of the seal. Sorry...

My tank has those dimensions.What I may do is put the light over the center and use my PC's to fill in the rest That way I have an area of high light and if I need a lower light area I have one. The only reason is that I will upgrade later and I want a 250 so I can use it on the upgrade. Thanks...

I want to put a single 250W over my tank but to center it would mean I would have a bad shadow in the tank. Any solutions? I am not keen on cutting the center brace. What I was thinking was to place the MH on one side and have my pc's cover over the other side. It is a squat tank so only 36"...

I have the drops but lost the booklet. Can someone give me the directions? TIA.

My tank is 18" tall. Packagerat, do you have your mh under a hood on a pendant? i am looking into gettin a carpet anemone and some sps. I want to insure i am providing the best light to them. thanks for all the input. Keep it coming!

I can't make sense of some of the info i have been reading about T5. From what I am reading T5 is as good if not better. I understand the heat issue with MH. How high should the MH be above the water line and/ or a glass cover? Any input would be appreciated.

I had one of my false clowns meet a PH ( since been covered) and not make it. I went to the lfs and bought what was sold as a false but now that I look at him/her I realize it is a true. My other 3 are terrorizing it. Is this just because the fish is new ( 2 weeks) or is it a species barrier?
