Hi guys. I was lookin on my live rock and i saw something kinda.. not quite blended in with the rock. I looked closer and saw a little fellow with long, thin antennae(in comparison which is body which was a little under an inch). he seemed to have a shell.. but it was very very flat.. and almost...

my grandmother brought over a cleaner shrimp for us.... a nice gesture. but then... the serpent starfish grabbed it and ate it 8O ..oh my.

When power goes out, and filters, etc etc cease to function.. What kills the fish and inverts? Is it because the filters etc etc aren't working or is it because of temperature fluctuation? I ask because I really didn't want my shrimp to die.. And well, he did. Florida seems to be gettng...

our power went out for 12 hrs during the hurricane... . fortunately everything came through.... except for my favorite shrimp... which is in the process of being eaten by my serpent starfish. sigh.

8O well! yesterday, my grandma was complaining about bristle worms. i told her to try sinking a small water bottle with meat inside to maybe catch em. anyway, in another post.. i mentioned the weird snail creature with the large proboscis which she described. a very big shock.. my grandma set...

was looking around my tank.. and i looked at the base of one of the gorgonians.. and i saw the oddest things. at first i thought it was our CBS's antennae.. but they were thinner.. i saw what appeared to be tentacles? hair-thin white tentacles wrapped around the base, moving.. they had bands of...

hi guys. i dont have any pictures, because i havent seen this guy myself. however, my grandma tells me she sees a peculiar snail which comes out at night. a slightly conical shaped shell, although i daresay its not a cone snail of any sort.. or her fish would be toasted. but she says it has a...

i am jumping for joy! my grandma just gave us some PC lights to use for our tank.. ~300w of em for our ~55 gal ~18'' deep tank. either way, wattage or no, they are definitely stronger than our two standard flourescent bulbs. my anemone will be much happier im sure. :D :D :D

wowee.. hi guys.:) a little while ago, my parents bought gorgonians.. an orange one and a white one.. both apparently filter feeders as they have the little polyps. but thats not the point. i was looking closely at the white one.. and i noticed a little.. what appears to be a serpent starfish of...

a curiosity. can gorgonians be "cultivated"? like asexual reproduction? or do they reproduce sexually?

can anyone tell me another type of "measurement per gallon" other than *watts*? that doesnt really measure actual intensity of the light.. can anyone tell me a thumb approximate of LUMENS per a gallon which an anemone will need? reply asap pls.

we've got a pretty little coral banded shrimp.. he's a bit creepy though. he ALWAYS goes for the fish.. none of the fish like to go near him because he like. lunges out of the shadows in an attempt to eat them. at least that is what it looks like. i don't think he's trying to clean them, because...

hi, i'm new here.:) My neighbor moved away, but he gave us his aquarium because he felt that he couldnt take it with him (too much hassle maybe). anyway, so we have this tank, but im curious as to how many gallons it is. my parents like the tank, although they didn't really want it at first but...
