No it's deep dark red. Scrape it of then?

I have a turkey baster I use for feeding the anemones and blowing off the rock. It doesn't blow off though. I'll leave it be. Thanks!

If I use a tooth brush it does. But when I blow off the rock and do a water change it stays on. I'll prob just scrape it off.

It is thick and smooth deep red. Not slimy at all but can't tell.

Had the same prob too with the iPhone app. Update the app in the store and it'll work. Tank is doing much better now that the crab is gone.

Yeah. My rock work is not looking that great right now. Have 2 anemones that made it hard to restack. Once they move around again I'll redo it.

Had a red mithrax crab from **** in my tank. It was eating snails at first then moved onto my sandsifting star fish and large brittle star fish. Killed that. Was nipping at my bubble anemone. And I just added some small ricordea and it ate one of the little orange ones. That was the last straw...

I used marine algaefix With success. Its a biocide and won't kill anything else besides hair algae. It's the exact same thing as fw algaefix. So get whichever is cheaper. But I used that with the refugium. For full disclosure. I also have been using purple up and that stuff works!

I have a 29g and just got done with a bad hair algae outbreak. Only thing that solved it was adding a refugium in the back with chaeto. I have compartment in the nanocube for this and I just got the JBJ led refugium light for it. Solved the prob. In a week.

I have a fire shrimp and one peppermint shrimp. They get along fine. The fire shrimp chases the peppermint off from his side of the tank but that's it. I'm panning on adding a goby and a red pistol shrimp soon.

Do they eat fire shrimp?

They do look alike and I am a novice to this hobby. I got the other from my lfs and this one from Petsmart. So, it is possible I got a crazy camel shrimp bent on tank domination! Oh well, pistol shrimp are nice right?

Well the fight of the peppermint vs the bubble anemone is over. Peppermint was dead this morning and anemone was all shrunken up. Hope the anemone lives. Kind of glad that shrimp is gone she was crazy aggressive to everything in the tank. The other peppermint doesn't bother anything.

Had not heard of a pistol shrimp till now. Really cool. I have 2 peppermints and a fire shrimp now. I may take the peppermints back. One is crazy aggressive and picks on the anemone and has even eaten a few crabs. They are not under fed either. This one is just mean!

Your clowns and the damsel get along? Sounds good thanks for the reply.

I have a 30 g JBJ nano with LED pro lights. 30 lbs of live rock, one green bubble anemone and some ricordea. Tank is now 7 months old and doing well but I need fish in it. What can I get? I really want 2 clownfish and a yellow goby. Is this ok or can I add something red or blue to the mix like...

Wow just checked out that coral online an it is cool. Where do you place yours?

I will check out those corals too. I have led light and the green bulb moved to the side under a rock so don't know if it was too bright or what.

I don't have any corals yet. Was going to add some soft ones and some ricordea or however you spell that. The green bulb was recommended by lfs and I was going to add 1 pink tip anemone soon. The shrimp should be fine. My peppermint ate 2 little blue ones the first day I put them in but has...

I have a 28g nano with 25ish lbs of live rock. A cuc with 2 peppermint shrimp 1 fire shrimp and a knobby star fish. So you can have quite a bit. I have jus put on green bulb anemone in yesterday and plan on adding the clowns soon. All is good in my tank. Hope this helps.

I have 2 peppermint shrimp and so far they have eaten 2 of my small hermit crabs. Will they eat the bigger ones too? They just pull the little ones out of their shell and go to town! I thought they were compatible from what I read online.

Sounds like I have some shopping to do this weekend! Thanks for the pointers guys. Got any advice on good plants to replace the non aquatic ones?

Another blog I have been reading said that neons in schools over 5 would eat the Betta! So we kept it to 4. I think we'll prob upgrade soon though. The planted tank is cool. As far as bioload the tank is well cycled and I added some extra carbon. But we'll see you're prob right.

Just started this bioorb. Planted it somewhat heavily for a 4g. It has one Betta and 4 neons. Don't know if the little bioorb light can keep these plants alive. But we'll see!

I have a Remora skimmer too. Awesome product. Water is crystal clear. I don't have much room for a refugium so I have been using the bioballs carbon, pottery, and foam for filtration.
