Bought a condy anemone today that was attached to a rock. After got home, a small purple-ish fish came out of the rock. Looks like it might be an orchid dottyback, but wanna make sure before I put it in the tank. This is the best pics I could get. Any opinions? Is this an orchid dottyback?

Well my merry Xmas is not going so well right now. Found out today that my debit card number was stolen and someone went on a $1200 Xmas shopping spree on me yesterday. So my account is frozen while the bank does an investigation, which they said can be 2 weeks with it being the holidays and...

I saw these very very small white tubes (arms??) sticking out of a rock. There were 2, now 3. They're not coming from under a rock, just from a very tiny crevice in The rock. Are these the arms of a brittle star or some kind of worm? I zoomed in for the pic, thats why the zoa head looks huge...

What does it mean when I try to attach a pic and the app says "this exceeds quota by 140"? Its just a regular sized pic from my phone. Never saw that before today. I have pics on my thread, but none loaded to my profile, so how am I exceeding anything? Confused.

Okay, so my Nassarius snails for the last 2 days or so have all been collecting at this one area of a rock and have laid literally thousands of eggs on the rock. It's about a 4" across and 1 1/2 " vertical area that is just completely covered in Nassarius eggs. There's even multiple layers...

I'm thinking about vacation next year. And I'm concerned about the tanks for the 7-12 days absence. What do you Guys all do when you leave for extended periods?? I've thought about one of those auto feeders, maybe try that while I'm here and see how it works. Parents in law live 30min away and...

At Petco the other day, a lady was telling the staff guy that she has a good sized Niger trigger in a 55g. An she was tryin to buy a really small yellow tang to go in with it!! The staff was trying to explain to her that was a bad idea and they both need a bigger tank. The lady's looking at the...

I see so many of the established tanks with those big rocks covered in various zoos. So my question is, if I am starting from a frag of 10-30 heads of zoos, approximately how long will it take a rock to be covered like that?? Just assuming average growth, are we talking a year? 3 years? 5? More...

Since I removed the dwarf angel for eating coral, I now have no real decent sized fish in my DT. any ideas. All my fish are peaceful, never any fighting, max size they'll get is about 3". My tank's too small for the show fish I like. ( love the emperor angel) butterflyfish might give me the...

Added a hammer, some zoas, favia, couple others since last pics. Here's my YWG, shrimp's still in burrow. Small brain is still trying to recover from angel. New-ish red eye favia. Green finger leather. Blue chalice has actually had about 1/2 growth over last 1 1/2 months or so...

Ok, so I haven't seen my Pom Pom crab for about a week, which is a little unusual for her. Was a little bit worried, then tonight after lights out my daughter sees her, and she's carrying eggs!! A whole belly full of red eggs. I tried to goggle about it, didn't find much. I did read that Pom...

Just thinking that I might be able to get a sexy Shrimp in the 30g FOWLR!! I so hope so!!! Here's what my daughter and I are thinking of for stocking this tank: 1 cleaner shrimp 1 oscellaris clown 1 Firefish 1 half black dwarf angel 1 yellow head jawfish 1 yellowfin flasher wrasse (supposedly a...

Got these zoas yesterday. Has about 30-35 heads and was only $15!! I thought that was pretty good. :)

I have this coral. I thought my angelfish had killed it cuz it was 90% white, was actually gonna throw it out at one point. But since removing the angel, it seems to be recovering has completely browned up again!! :) Yea!! Is this a birds nest? Do you know what it is?

Checked on coralpedia, but didn't find the names of these new zoas I bought. If anyone can help, would be great. This one has orange center with brown around that and green edge This one has yellow center with blue around that and green edge This one has white center with pink...

I bought 3 new zoas yesterday. Don't know the names, so if anyone does, let me know. These are orange center with green around outside Couldn't get a good pic of these, they are actually pink with white dot center and brown on edge Those are blue with yellow center and green around...

Does anyone know how I can get my sun coral to put tentacles out during the day? I see pictures of other's sun corals with the lights on and their tentacles are out. I've heard that they can be "trained" to come out and eat earlier, but not sure how that works. I'm kinda tired of waiting til 1...

Decided that our 8 1/2" fantail goldfish and his 5" friend were too big for the 30g, so he has been re-homed to a friend's pond with a lot of other goldfish. Sad to see him go, but he'll be happier. :) So, now I'm changing that FW tank to SW!! :) Scrubbed it out good today, spray painted the...

Have a bubble coral that I think is great and beautiful. My b/w clown apparently thinks so too cuz we've seen him hanging around it lately and has stuck his face in it a few times. At first I thought thus was cute that he might host this coral, but now I'm reading in multiple places where other...

I here's some FTS of my 1st SW tank- its a 55gal corner tank, been couple months. Green trachy not doing too good, dwarf angel picking at it. Working on getting a 30gal FOWLR going so I can move him to that. I'm totally addicted to SW now! Everyday I'm off i have to fight the...

Would a foxface be okay in a 55gal?

My first SW tank has been doing well. No ich, no major problems other than I did have a beautiful yellow coris wrasse get eaten by strawberry crab while fish was laying in sand sleeping. :( At first the coris wrasse would bury himself at night I sleep, then I guess he got comfortable cuz then...

Got a couple new corals today. Hopefully they do okay. Hope the pix attach okay, first time attempting attaching pix. :) Yellow trumpet Green Montipora Here's my b/w oscellaris

I have a 54 gal corner tank. I am using a LED Kessil a150w (15000k) in ocean blue. Light covers all of tank. I :confused:Am wanting to do some LPS coral. Do I need to add another kessil or is this enough light? Was thinking maybe a sky blue one.

I'm pretty new at SW, but my tank is cycled, amm=0, Trites=0, trates=10, pH 8.0. I'm happy with that. I have an angelfish, cleaner shrimp(who just molted first time yesterday!!), bangaii card, green chromis, starry blenny. They seem happy. My sun coral has even eaten 2days in row. But I keep...
