I think that it depends on a couple of things, tank size and whether there tank raised or wild caught and how they are introduced. I have 1 mid size black and white tank raised clown which I had first, I got a large magnifca anemone which the black and white ignored. I then got a pair of wild...

It's probably just getting use to the lighting change as no doubt it's different to the LFS. Do you do regular WC? Or do you use trace elements? My LFS told me they do require Calcium and Iodine.....He told me an indication of unhappiness is prolonged trumpeting as well as loss of colour. I'm...

Was it already attached to this rock when you bought it? What type of lights do you have? How long are they on? Try imitate dawn,day,dusk and even moonlight. Check your water..... Make sure you have good water circulation. My Mag looked upset for a day and a bit but then found his spot and came...

I use Two Little Fishes Phosban Reactor 550....Works a treat, although easy to make a DIY Reactor...it's definitely worth the money to invest in a purpose built unit, you won't come home to a disaster, maybe just use a stocking with media in it till you can afford the one you really want. Don't...

Does your unit have an adjustable flow restrictor on the waste water outlet pipe?All the water pressure may be escaping thru the waste outlet which = low level clean water production.

They have arrived, straight from Barrier Reef. Within 10 minutes in tank, they when straight to the Magnifica Anemone

I have an MP10 es...... It's fantastic! I just regret not getting the w version as I would love to get another. Just 1 MP10es is enough water movement in my 375L tank, but 2 would be great! You can get a real wave movement happening. Dry side went noisy after 8 months but it was fix under...

That's really cool. How long did it take your clown to host?

From what I have heard the True Percula has 10 spines in dorsal fin where false has 11. Also read that a true Perculas (being reef caught) is sporned and hatched in close proximity to it's natural host anemones Heteractis Magnifica and Stichodactyla Gigantea and as larva learn the chemical...

My Goni was going great until I used Polyp Lab Reef Roids. Now it is just hating life no matter were I put it. Has anyone had the same problem with this product? My other corals seem to be thriving and it's not close enough to be getting stung.....

Thanks for advise everyone. There's no chance of getting the nem out of the tank to try the bucket trick. It's well and truly anchored. I'm tying the picture angle. As you can see from pic. :-) If it fails I will get an ocean caught clown an it should dive straight in and lure my existing clown in.

You've probably tried this but all clowns host on something, whether a sandbed, power head, coral or anemone. They go to sleep at night, hovering over this host point, keep lights off, use a background light like a coffee table lamp in the back ground to light your way. Should be a breeze.

Keep feeding to a minimum so you don't get any more nutrients in your system other than the fish waste. If I was you I would do regular small water changes 10% till you can replace the skimmer. How big is your tank? The bigger it is the more stable it will be in times like this. If it's a Nano...

Hi, I've had this Magnificent Anemone for a few days and my tank raised Oscill. Clown pays it no attention.... I couldn't place the Anemone where the clown currently sleeps due to lack of room... Any tips to lure her to her new (very expensive) home? 2 attachments - anemone home and clown...

At this stage he hasnt even paid them any attention. But I'm sure if he went hungry he would soon start picking at them. I think he is safe with supervision.

I have had a Blue Spot Toby Puffer for 6 months and haven't had a problem with him messing with my inverts but I am keeping my eye on him.

Thanks all for your assistance...it helped alot, it's always the most important thing to know what your dealing with....especially when received as a gift. The puffer is only small at this stage and he hasn't been munching any inverts yet, hopefully I can keep him well fed but I will definitely...

Hi, My wife bought me a couple of corals and fish for BDay and I need to identify so I know where to best position and care for them...... Also there is a picture of a puffer fish that I also need to identify..... Any help would be appreciated....

Hi there, try a Stromb Snail, they are great sand cleaners.
