    What is in my live rock?? A black starfish?

    I found some pics on that link that look like it. Thanx :O) I'll try to find it and take a pic. He moved out of the rock last night. I barely saw it crawling around the side of the rock into another crack. Also (it wouldn't let me make a second reply in a row) -- I found one pic in the link...

    What is in my live rock?? A black starfish?

    It does for the most part look like the pics I've seen of the serpent starfish, but I only see pics of ones that are bright colors. This one is solid black, and second, none of their tentacles seem to be completely covered in "spikes" like the one in my tank.

    What is in my live rock?? A black starfish?

At first I thought it might be dead, but like I said, it started to stick its tentacles out once the bright light was turned off and it...

    What is in my live rock?? A black starfish?

    I just bought about 100 lbs. of live rock and got it set in the tank, and noticed these long black spike covered tentacles curled up in a deep crevice in one of the pieces. What is it and is it harmful to any fish?? The tentacles look like they could be at least 3 inches long. I counted at...

    GREEN "BUBBLES" GROWING ON MY SNAILS

    Yes! But it isn't on all of the snails. That's why I was curious. It's called bubble algae? What should I do?

    Picking out an Aquarium tank

    Picking out an Aquarium tank

    Yeah, the hex doesn't have much room to swim around from side to side. It's more of a vertical tank. So the rectangle is the better way to go rather than the semi circle? It seems to look better, but does the rectangle work better for the fish and reef? Is there anything better out there...
