Yeah, I've been observing them closely since this incident and there's that one chromis that is the self-proclaimed boss. He chases them quite a bit that one of them hides in the rocks most of the time. I would hate to get rid of the one or even let the situation continue, any advice on what...

I agree with you on that. I'm getting a bigger tank, 120 gallons, in a few months. Hopefully they will be more comfortable

I'll look into that. Thanks.

I have 4 of the chromis, 1 engineer goby, 2 PJ Cardinals, 1 yellow tang, 1 six line wrasse, 1 reef hermit, 2 bumble bee snails, and 1 wild caught rock anemone.

Greetings, I just noticed one of my green chromis has some type of disease or injury. He has a blotchy section and in the center of it is red as if he were missing scales. The other side is also starting to show a white blotchy section. I've never seen any aggression. The only thing I think...

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind in case it gets me.

Thanks, that's a relief cause I had put him back in the tank.

Greetings, I recently changed tanks from a 55g to a 60g. I used the same sand and as I was scooping it out I noticed this guy. He is about 2 inches long when he stretches. I don't know how long it's been in my tank because I never see it. I've had my tank running for about 1 year and 5...

If you're new to saltwater and this is your first tank, take your time adding fish. Don't make the same mistake I did.

Also, it probably hasn't cycled.

Any new equipment added? Maybe your circulation pumps are too strong. Point them up towards the surface. What kind of filtration are you using?

What happened? How long has it been up and running?

Lionfish are awesome, I want one as well but here are a few things that kept me from getting one, for the moment. There are different types of lionfish some can grow over 12" and some are considered dwarf that can reach 6". Keep in mind that they are predatory fish and will eat a tank mate if...

I think they might be Stomatella. They're good guys. I got a few in my tank as well.

Thanks. I'll look it up and get info on it.

Greetings, I'm from Houston and on a trip to Galveston I found an anemone floating on some seaweed that it was attached to. It was about the size of a ping-pong ball. I caught it with a bucket and yes, I brought it home. Two days later it attached to my rock and it's been there ever since...

You can use a razor blade to scrape the build up off.

I would stay away from harsh chemicals. It the tank out of glass or acrylic?

I agree, it looks awesome. What type of lighting are you using?

I would check the seals really good. I have a 29 gallon that's well over 20 years old that's due for a reseal. I can see a bit of algae between the silicone and the glass. I also get a lot of mineral deposit along parts of the outside edges.

Have you tried krill? The one I use is from the multi pack. It's a tad bit bigger than the mysis. My tang tears the green algae sheets like if there was no tomorrow. I guess you got yourself a picky eater. Try the garlic, see if that helps. Soak the mysis or krill for a few minutes. I mix...

It sounds like it may have ick. What are you feeding it? And is it eating well? I have a Yellow Tang as well and I feed him mysis shrimp, green seaweed sheets, and a saltwater multi pack that includes krill, brine shrimp, green algae, and mysis shrimp mix. As for the ick, the fish just has to...

Thanks for the info melosu58 and Sniperhank. I was thinking the same about the sand sifter. If she doesn't make it, I'll let the chip have at her. Cruel, but might as well benefit the other. As for the chip, right now he's munching on a chunk of shrimp.

I have two starfish, a chocolate chip starfish and a sand sifting starfish. Chip moves way faster than my Sand and I noticed him on top of her. When I moved him from her, I noticed that she was being eaten alive! The damage is done but is there a chance for her to survive? She still moves...
