I have to agree with that...yellow polyps (colony) are really great for starters. My first two were yellow polyps and green star polyps. Watch our for the green star polyps though, they can grow fairly rapidly.

Holy cow!!! Awesome. Thank you!!! This is totally it! I just googled that, and bam! Wikipedia did say that they can replicate both asexually (cloning) and sexually (polyp dispersion). They're also known as strawberry anemones. This is so cool!

Hey all, have these two little guys in my tank for a while. Growing slowly. They look peaceful and super neat, but after exhausting google and the web, I still cannot figure out what these are...any help greatly appreciated!

Super stoked! Past 4 water tests have revealed perfect readings across the board and my nitrates have lowered from an average of 5-10 to approximately 2.5 (0-5). Would this be due to adding the 40 lbs of base rock with the 50 lbs live rock I had in the tank already; hence creating an even...

The emerald crab!

Thanks Matt! Definitely enjoyable throughout the entire process!

Hey all! After 4 months of immense challenge, I finally am ready to launch a thread about my 45 Gallon build! I am new to Salt Water here in Phoenix, AZ, coming over from the Fresh Water side. I originally started my 45 gallon in Mid-June, with approximately 50 lbs. of live rock from the LFS I...

Thanks red! We have a lid on ours Carey at the moment... In regards to Cardinal fishes, are they ok with being kept by themselves or do they need more than one? A couple of sites I've researched have stated Cardinals may prefer one or two more of their kind; is this an accurate fact?

Well, We're sitting at the following (45 Gallon): 2 Oscellaris Clowns 1 Diamond Watchmen Goby 1 Skunk Cleaner Shrimp 1 Emerald Crab 5 Assorted Snails (nerite and Astrea) 3 hermit crabs In waiting (20 Gal Long QT) 1 Midas Blenny We're a huge fan of the dwarf Angela but I have become stern...

Hey all! I recently posted in "sick" sub-forum, regarding a recently purchased Coral Beauty that died a day after arrival in QT due to Fin Rot, and a Midas Blenny I had also received that had me concerned... The Midas is doing very well now after 1 week of QT action (2-3 weeks to go). He's...

Looks amazing!!! Love your Blenny!

Slither, thank you for your replies. I would agree with you. There are no lights on the qt except for minimal natural light. Carey, correct, the Midas is in Qt. He does have 3 nice size PVC pipes. Thank you for replying Carey. You guys are awesome as is this forum!

Carey/Slither, I have yet to come across any materials that state whether a younger or smaller specimen is hardier than an aged specimen. Naturally I would think this may be a fairly accurate thought but, you never know right? Have either you seen one on one time with a Midas Blenny? We are...

Sorry everyone, that was a typo on my end (iPhone post) 1.023 is the correct reading. I love my refractometer. Super cool gadget!

Well, my brand new Coral Beauty from Live Aquaria passed away today...one known factor (not known of this was the cause), is Fin Rot. After temp and drip acclimating yesterday afternoon, the CB seemed fine upon entering quarantine (20Gal Long). He was breathing fairly rapidly which left me...

I am QTing a Midas Blenny and a Coral Beauty! I am also hospitalizing in another QT two Oscellari clowns that may have broken out with ich. I am treating via hyposalinity. After reading everyone else's experiences and going thru QT process since day 1, I definitely agree that QTing is the way...
