shouldnt it be green if it was an emerald crab ?

Here's a pic

I have found a new hitch-hiker on my live rock. Its a dark brown, hairy all over crab. Its claws are very big, but are not pointy/sharp like most crab claws, they are more like flat, blunt tongs with a large surface area (about 2 mm in diameter on each 'point') if you understand what I mean...

Hi everyone, I've had a small 40 litre puffer tank running for 7 weeks. We have been experiencing a hair algae problem now for about 3-4 of those weeks, and cant seem to get rid of it. I disturb its growth every 3 days or so, but within 2 days, its covered the gravel and rocks again. Is...

Been in there for 4 weeks now. Ive noticed this morning that most damaged scales have fallen off, so it looks like its due to either a fight or a rock scrape... Thx

Ive got 5 Yellowtail damoiselle's, and I've noticed that one of them has what appears to be damaged scales on one side towards his spine. They appear to be hanging off. I guess he has scraped himself on some rock in the tank? There are plenty of places they race through all the time... Could...

I finally found the exact species. Its a Yellowtail Demoiselle (Neopomacentrus Azysron). Thanks for all your suggestions, as some of you guys were very close. I went to my LFS this w/e and they had a marine book with a carbon copy photo of it, which helped greatly! :) haha Thanks guys for all...

I've just run my fingers over the egg sacks and they are as hard as rock. The eggs have all sunk to the bottom of the sack too. Is this a bad sign? They have been on the glass now for 5 days, and there are new sacks arriving every day.... Thanks.

Mark, You may find this helpful: http://www.eheim.com/Filter_massen.cgi?Text=2&Mode=zeige&welches=2228&Filter=Gesamtliste Although, yours only has two trays as I understand. This is for my Eheim 2228. I have my Rowaphos between the fine filter and substrat on the final (top) tray. I keep my...

Do you have any LR in there? I have a small amount of it on my LR too...

i have these too.. not sure what they are, but they usually just poke their heads out the hole they are in

are they ACTUALLY being killed by the PH ? Maybe they are dying from other reasons, and the PH is sucking up their already dead bodies ?

lol an echo.... thanks anyways guys!

I woke up this morning to find one of my red-legged hermits half torn to pieces next to his shell. I picked the shell out of the aquarium, and got rid of the body. I have since put the shell back in the tank, to find the hermit still in his shell. I initially thought it was another hermit...

Thats very close Steve-S, but its not showing the very distinctive emerald gem spot above the fin, unless mine are very juvenile, and the pix form fishbase are of mature adults. I'll try and get a better pic for you all...

Yeah, its not a yellow-tailed damsel, due to the fact that its not just got a yellow tail.. Thanks for looking guys, looks like I've got a difficult specimen to match!

thanks for the advice :)

I have been told its a Jewel damsel due to its emerald spots next to the gills, but all images I have seen of jewel damsels look nothing like my fish. Anyone else any ideas? Thx

I woke up this morning to find some small (about 5mm in diameter) blobs on my glass (3 or 4 of them) with tiny white what I guess are Eggs in. Although I think they are eggs, I am not sure who could of laid them... Here are my options: Jewel Damsels Turbo Snails Nassarius Snails Cleaner Shrimp...

Hi, Ive just had arrival of 11 baby mollies through one of my female adults. Can anyone tell me how fast they grow from birth? I am hoping to sell them on to my LFS, but would like to know a good time period if possible... Is 4 weeks from birth going to mean they are a decent size? Any...

Got up this morning and tank was crystal clear. Within 1 hour of turning the lights on its gone really cloudy. Hadnt added any food. 5 Jewel Damsels (not real jewel damsels tho... dont get me started!!) 1 Chalk Bogy 3 Red-legged hermits 2 Lettuce nudibranch's Just off to test water, will let...

What type of algae? I quickly learned that the main source of the problem with algae is phosphate in the water. I currently have a big algae problem, and its not getting any better everytime I use tapwater for top-ups. Two options are: 1) Start replacing the water with RO water 2) Get a...

I cant get mine to stay on my ph. Do they click into place or something? Every time I fix it back on, the water flow blows it off! :) Mine's a 900 btw :)

I got some maidens hair recently, but in the last week 90% of it turned blonde from being bright green, and now all the grass has shed leaving 10% nice healthy hair, 90% rock. I checked with my LFS where I got it from, and the two other specimens they have, have also done the same. Has it...
