Hello everyone! Its great to be back. I hope I am posting in the right section since I am posting from my phone, not sure of the navigations. Its been about three years since I last had my tank and am back on the scene! My tank is just about cycled and was asking for some opinions on tankmates...

Here is a image of the little bugger. I saw him yesterday at the base of my cauliflower coral, and today he was on an empty space of my zoas. I don't remember if that portion of the zoa rock was always empty or if he did it but better safe than sorry. He looks fairly interesting considering he...

Can someone give me an idea on how to tell if my carpet anemone has been dyed? He is a yellow color but my main concern is that his base is not a neutral color, but is more of a greenish tone matching his head. The LFS says it isn't dyed. That is what it looks like (not mine but very similar...

Does anybody have experience with raising a few starfish in a separate tank to feed to their harlequin shrimps? I am thinking of taking the plunge and buying a pair but I do not want to continually buy new starfish. This system of chopping a arm off and rotating among starfish seems like a very...

why does my tank look so empty guys?? the second picture is what i wanted, I loved that empty space in the middle...it just seems mine falls short. any suggestions? why does my 40 gallon look so puny compared to other 40 gallons? :nono:

it it the blue lights or white lights that penetrate deeper? I want to have a anemone about 20-24 inches from LED to anemone and I was wondering which light is the one that would be best for it to grow. Right now i have 2 x Panorama Pro LED Module 24V- 19 Watt 12K White/445nm Blue. I was...

Hi can somebody please just look over my plan So in my 40 gallon tank it seems like my clarkii has ich, no spots just some flashing (scratching on the sand) So I am planning on removing the fish inhabitants which would be 2 clarkii's, 1 lawnmower blenny, and 1 watchman goby and placing them...

Hi so these small guys started showing up lately. I have been trying to remove them every time I see them but they keep coming. Oddly enough they are usually in pairs like this one (some aren't though) Can someone ID them so I can do some research on them? :thanks:

Hermit Crab Moves His Anemone To A New Shell - YouTube! can someone give me the actual name of this guy? I want to get one but it is not the porcelain crab also called the anemone crab that I am looking for. I want the one that carries the anemone on his shell Thank you!

I found a bunch of these things on my glass the other day. They are hard and do not easily scrape off the glass. Any idea what they are?

Hi everybody, So I am planning on returning my corkscrew anemone because he is causing such a headache by not attaching. I know they require deep substrate and such but he just will not anchor down (I have deep substrate). My question now is what anemone can I get that are known to attach to...

Hi everybody what can I get thats cheap for some moonlights? I'm not sure if thats the exact term but I just want a light I can see the fish with at light that won't mess with them and still allow them to sleep. Will appreciate any suggestions of your personal ones!

Guys I bought a LTA a couple days ago and I have a few questions. At first he was nice and inflated and his tentacles were extended straight, now he is more corkscrew like the pictures I see online but he is not near as inflated as before. What is this guy supposed to look like? I'm worried he...

Here is a pictures of it. after looking online Im thinking he's something like a olive snail. what do you say everyone? Banished to the sump?

how can I let my anemone take root without getting sucked into the filters/powerheads? I was thinking of turning them off but won't he just move once I turn them on?

I would like to know its habitat as in sand or rock etc :) thanks guys.

A frogspawn coral I picked up today has a head that appears to be detaching from the hard skeletion. I think maybe during moving him from the bag the head was rubbed and and began detaching. Right now it is about 3/4th already off and only a small section is left on. My question is, is there...

Hi guys, I've had some brown stringy/hairy algae growing on my tank walls for a while (ever since my skimmer broke) but it hasn't bothered me too much. I admit I have been feeding a bit more but I will be sure to stop :) , but I wanted to ask if a algae blenny would eat this stuff. I used to...

Okay guys true story. I bought what I think is a Crocea clam and acclimated him and placed him in my tank. I placed him on the right side of the tank on top of some rocks and left to go somewhere for a few hours. I come back and my two corals, torch and frogspawn are closed up with some sort...

Guys I need some help/tips for my yellowhead jawfish. The main thing is, which I shouldn't be worried about but am, is that he isn't coming out of his burrow. The first couple days he would dig a burrow (that I helped start) and he would go into the hole and cover it with a rock. He would stay...

Hi I have a 20 gallon that I use for a refugium and I want to put a mantis shrimp in it. I know they can break glass but after looking online it seems only a dozen or so actually are able to. Does anyone know what kind of mantis I could keep that would not break my glass? Thanks! and this would...
