My Blue Tang has ick and also has a an open wound not related to the ick. I believe another fish caused the wound. I want to copper this tang in a QT. Will the copper make the wound worse? Will the tang suffer being in copper with an open wound? Thanks

I have Quarantined all my fish. My last addition was a Blue Hippo Tang which I coppered in a QT. It showed no signs of ick for the 4 weeks it was in the QT. Placed him in my 90 gallon DT. After about 3 weeks in the display it now has ich. How did that happen? None of the other fish are showing...

I have a 1 month old 300 watt Hydor Theo Heater that is stuck on. I have it set for 78 degrees but noticed it got up to 88 before I noticed it. Luckily no fish died. I have an email in to Hydor asking about a replacement. Not sure I will get an answer back. Does anyone know if there is a way to...

I have a 80 gallon high tank thats been running for 6 months. For flow I have the return from my sump giving flow at the surface of the tank. Then I have to 2 koralia 2 setup on the back wall of tank that point towards the middle of the tank. If you look at the picture you will see how they are...

I'm surprised its doing a little better. It's found a place where it has stayed for the last few days. It actually ate a small piece of shrimp I fed it. I also see some tentacles starting to slowly grow in. So I'll continue to monitor it and see how it does.

From what Floyd desribed it sounds like a feather duster as it has the fine little hairs. I have dealt with Aptaisa in the past so it doesn't look like that. So its sounds like a feather duster, should I try to get it off some how? I'll see tonight if the zoas open up under the light.

Not sure if this pic is any better. If it is just a featherduster should I still go down and try to pull it off with tweezers? I got another frag of zoas that opened up the day I got them and are still open even with the lights off. Thinking this featerduster is keeping them from opening.

I just got a new frag of zoas yesterday. They haven't opened yet. I noticed this featherduster looking thing in the middle of the zoas. It closes if you try to touch it and it opens if left alone. Not sure if this is the reason my zoas aren't opening. Anyone know what it is?

The foot sustained no injury. The injury was to about half of the tentacles. I will keep an I on it.

My GBTA is still not looking to good but its still alive. Should I keep it in or give up on it? Not sure if they get better on there own or not. Anyone know?

So I just got a Green Bubble Tip Anemone and it was looking really good. On the second day I wake up only to find it stuck on the powerhead. So I turned off the powerhead and gently helped it out of it. Most of the tentacles where mashed up and some where missing and then some where ok. Doesn't...

So I have a Black true perc clownfish that I have had in my 80 gallon tank for about 3 months now. I put in a slightly bigger orange true perc clownfish. Immediately the smaller black one went after him, the bigger one held his own pretty good. Now after about 8 hours they are swimming around...

Thanks for checking it out. So if thats what it is he can be placed in the DT? Its been over 5 weeks in quarantine. Here is a bigger pic and one from the side that I think doesn't show much.

I attached the best pic I could get of it. You can see from side how it is elevated off the skin. A pic directly from the side doesn't show it, I can't even see it that good from the side when I look at him because its white on white. Any clues on this?

I have had a Clown fish that I bought in a QT for 5 weeks now. He had a mild case of ich which I got rid of with copper. It took 3 weeks of cuppermine to rid him of the spots that looked like ich. Its week 4 of running cuppermine because he has a white spot on the white part of his body. You can...
