Hi all, I have a cleaner shrimp that has gotten too large for my tank. I have been trying to catch him for several weeks, but can't. Does anyone know any tricks? Thanks in advance...Julie.

Hi all, my 30 gallon half-moon sw tank is cycled and ready for fish. My largest live rock has at least 6 or 7 kenya tree sprouts on it. I know that I can only have a few fish. I am looking for opinions and suggestions for which fish and what order. I am an absolute beginner, so not too...
