I put it in again, don't know why, and fed the rest of the dusters. He stayed in and fully extended. Then the next time he looked he had retracted back into the tube, crown and all... Very confused. Like I said never had a situation like this before

Possibly... He was laying on it for the last day or so... Is it normal to release like in the picture?

I've heard of dusters losing their heads but never personally have bad it happen. Other the whole double feather head and what looks to be about half an inch of the worm. Is that what it normally looks like? I picked it up and put it back in the tube for **** n giggles but watched it get pushed...

Just googled pseudocorynactis and that's exactly what I've got! He's been in the tank for almost 2 years and is in a crevasse where he can't sting others so ill just leave him be. Thanks!

This thing in the center of the photo right above the polyps is what I'm wondering about. It came as a hitchhiker on the live rock. I've always just assumed it was a duster but it grabbed ahold of a couple mysis shrimp recently and it forced me to take a closer look. It's got these yellow bumps...

I think it came in on the live rock because I've never had a snail that big in the tank. I do want to get one though

Your right it does, just seemed pretty thick...

Got a new piece of live rock the other day and just found this laying next to it on the sand. Never seen anything like it... Anyone know what it is or if it's safe for my seahorse tank. It's just a solid disk shell, haven't seen anything moving out of it, or even an opening for that matter

I recently bought a frag from this coral at my LFS but there was no "reef" guy there to tell me what exactly it is. It's definitely some type of sps coral and my best guess is it's a type of Pectinia or lettuce coral but still not sure... Anyone else seen a coral like this before?

My LFS just thinned out their display tank, selling off a lot of frags. I got a frag from this, what I think to be some type of green montipora but there was no "reef guy" working at the time to tell me exactly what it is. I've never seen a montipora with these "towers" before...

I believe them to be asterina starfish. They are white

That's why I'm confused about the whole thing. I never saw anything eating it. I fed the scallop yesterday and it was completely fine. This morning the shell was open and empty. I really don't think it was sick or anything. I know starfish have the power to open and clean a scallop quickly but...

I woke this morning to find something ate my electric flame scallop in my seahorse tank. I fed him yesterday and he was completely fine. As you can see this is not the case now. When I first setup the tank I got a piece of live rock that was infested with tiny starfish. I have been removing them...

It looks to me like some type of sea hare. Hard to tell from the pics but a very common live rock hitchhiker.

Post a photo of your Saltwater or Reef Aquarium

Thanks. I'm sure now that's what it is... I've been experimenting with new foods and feeding schedules, feeding a little more than usual the last couple of weeks. I'll go back to my old feeding regiment. Thanks again.

I am a big fan of wrasses. They're found in many different colors, sizes and temperaments. Some are good reef inhabitants and others are good for fish only setups. It's important to do your research. I am a faithful customer of liveaquaria.com. I also find them to be a great source for...

I've had this reef tank up and running for years now and have never had an algae problem besides the occasional slight build up on the glass. This red slime appeared a couple weeks ago and I can get rid of it. I've been cleaning it daily but it grows incredibly fast. Anyone know what kind of...

You were right. That's a juvenile dragon wrasse. There body shape and color change dramatically when they become adults. (in my opinion not nearly as good looking as the juveniles) They also get fairly large, about a foot and need a tank of 100 gallons, preferably more. They also need a deep...

That's bubble algae. Depending on the size, I wouldn't try popping them. It can be a pain to get rid of but if theres only a few, I would get an emerald crab. I had a couple on some live rock I picked up and the crab took care of the problem.

Thanks everyone, I love urchins but now thinking their not for me. Thanks for all the help

Thanks, the blue tuxedo was gunna be my next choice if I dont get the long spine. The tuxedos seem to get everything stuck to their spines though... But I hear their sting isn't as bad

I've been thinking of getting a long spine urchin for my reef tank and I always do my research before adding a new addition but I've been finding varied opinions. My first question is are urchins safe in the same tanks as clams? I've heard both yes and no. I've also had a recent problem of...

I was wondering if anyone has ever heard or had luck keeping seahorses with urchins. I've read it's possible but just seems a little risky to me...

Thanks guys this really helps. I read somewhere that you should bake the soil before adding it, to kill any unwanted organisms or something.... Has anyone else heard of this?
