    Cleaner Shrimp & Fire Fish

    I finally had my camera at my desk when it happened again. My fire shrimp swam over to the cleaner shrimp and the shrimp got busy! Here are just a few pictures of it getting into his gills. He actually cleaned him from front to back. It was really neat to watch!

    Fire Fish and Cleaner Shrimp Relationship

    Just a quick question. Do any of you have a fire fish, mine is a purple, that has a relationship with a cleaner shrimp? Both of mine have been in the tank for quite some time, but I have noticed, that recently, they are hanging out together. The shrimp will place a "Feeler" tentacle on my...

    Add a Powerhead???

    I have a 34 gallon (Boderline) Nano System with a mix of mainly LPS with a couple of SPS corals that are all doing well. This tanks in my office and I'm really happy with it, although my productivity has gone down. I use an ecotech mp10 which moves a LOT of water around! I usually have it set...

    Fibers on Crocea Clam???

    I have a Crocea Calm that is in my 34 gallon mixed reef aquarium. It has recently sprouted fibers on the clam shell portion just underneath the mantle. I can easily pull them off the shell. They are only growing on one side of the clam shell. I can easily pull of the filament like fibers...

    Paired Clown Question

    Hi Everyone! I have a orange/white Percula and added a black/white percula a month ago. They seem to have become a pair swimming and hanging out together. That's great. I have a green bubble tip anemone which the orange percula hosts, but every time the black one gets near, she chases him...

    Coco Worm Meal for Anemone!

    So I wake up this morning and see something protruding from my Bubble Tip Coral. For the life of me, I can't figure out what it is, so I start taking inventory of my fish. All present and accounted for so no fish tragedy. I come back a little later and find part of what ever it is being...

    Rockscaping gone wrong!

    Well, every thing has been going well in my 30 gal rimless. Water chemistry is dialed in, corals look great, fish are happy and even my bubble tip seems to be adjusting well after a couple of weeks. Everything is great, right? Well, I get home after a long day with my mom in the hospital, and...

    pH Cycle?

    One of the neat things about having a controller is it's ability to continually monitor level's of your choosing in the system. It also allows you to "Graph" the results to see the cycle of when your ATO is topping off, temperature fluctuations and my question of the day, the cycle of pH. I've...

    Hermit Crab Battle Royal

    I have a 30 gal nano reef, which was an upgrade from a 12 gal nano. With the upgrade I added an additional 5 hermit crabs to go with the five I already had and it seems lately all they want to do is try to kill each other for their shells. I'm used to seeing a couple at a time get tangled...

    Hi. Here are some pictures of my recently started 30 gal Rimless build. It's a Innovative Marine Tank, with LED lighting. This was transition for me from a much smaller 12 gal nano! All inhabitants and coral came from the 12 gal and seem much, much happier!

    Please, a little help/advice?

    Help Please? Sick Coral in 12 gallon nano

    Hi, I have what I would consider a healthy 12 gal nano reef tank. I was away at work for a few days and came home to find one of my corals appearing to be ill?
