hitchikers Thanks for the responses! I just stopped by a LFS to pick up some base rock. When I got home I noticed some hitchhikers on one of the rocks. Any ideas of what it is? It kinda looks like a sponge. Some are super yellow (picture 2) and some are a pale pink (picture 3). There is...

These look to be about 2 to 2-1/2". Should I get them out? How do you do that?

Any idea what these are? It looks like I have about 3 in my tank. They are pretty gross. I was wondering if they are harmful or not.

Here are some pictures. As you can see he's a little scrawny, hence my concern. But that is how he came so hopefully I can beef him up a bit. There is also a picture of the tang peeking out. I have to admit the scopas was an impulse buy which I typically do not do for the exact reason of...

Thanks for the feedback. I was afraid I would not be feeding him enough. And yeah I have heard that as well about the Scopas. So far I have not had a problem with him but I will keep an eye on him.

Hi there. I recently purchased a diamond goby. He seems pretty content in the tank (50gal). He sifts all day and then eats when I feed all the fish. I feed them frozen misis and brine shrimp and frozen home made food. Just wondering if this is enough or if I really need to up my game with a...

I have the same issue with my clown right now. I just took him into the quarantine tank and added some furan-2. He seems to have already perked up a bit. When I took him out of the display tank he was at the bottom on his side, pretty much dead. He's been in the quarantine maybe 3 hours and...

So this is bright orange under my actinic lights. Tanks been running four years abuts, first time I have encountered this tough. Sorry the water is a little cloudy I was cleaning the back glass when I noticed it. Any ideas of what it is or how to get rid of it? It's in about four places on...

I forget what the guy called it exactly. I am starting him out at the middle bottom of my tank and will move him up as necessary. (55 gal with t5 h.o.) Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

Thanks. I haven't had much trouble with him so I don't think I will trade him in just yet. He definitely does seem to stay in one place though. Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

this is the picture. Not sure if it attached to the previous.

It has also been called a glass anemone. Here's a picture of it.

Hey there. So I have a squid tentacle anemone in my 55 gallon reef tank. I was wondering if I could also pick up a condy anemone or bubble tip and have them live peacefully together?

Just wanted to thank you guys for helping with your advice. The monti is looking much better and starting to grow out a little more. I am not sure what the final analysis would be but I did a coral dip of all my hard corals and that seemed to work out. He is back up at the top of the tank and...

I have had him for about 3 weeks. I just moved him to the bottom of the tank for fear of bleaching beginning.

Here's a picture of him and the overall tank. I tend to give him seaweed once a week which he is fine with and eats flake food the rest of the week. I have 4 T5 HO bulbs that are on for about 8 hours per day. I just switched from 2 actinic/ 2 daylight to 1actinic/ 3daylight to try and...

It seems my yellow Hawaiian is acting a bit off. He seems to be phasing out then jumping back into reality. I just noticed it lose balance so now I am really concerned. Any advice?

Thanks guys I will look into getting it a bigger tank!

I am not so sure it's stress. I just noticed last night extremely small white specs around his facial area. Doesn't really look like ich though. I will be getting him into the quarantine tank tonight though. Unless stress can cause these as well but I have never heard of that.

I am not sure what kind it was I was trying to figure that out. However, I have had a 36 gallon tank for 2 years and just upgraded to a 55 about 2 months ago. The angel had no problem with the smaller tank and didn't seem to have any problem with the larger tank til the other day. There is a...

It's hard to see by this pic but it's coloring is a little splotchy. He is rather sluggish and staying towards the bottom of the tank. He's not moving around very much. Just noticed this today. Any ideas what might be wrong with him?

Yeah it was. I guess I'll just sit back and hope he calms down. Thanks forte advice guys!

Fortunately yes. In all three branches still. I pulled one of my power heads and moved it back down to where the water flow is less. Currently my lighting is two 36" actinc bulb and two 36" daylight bulbs. Not sure if its maybe getting too much light as well?

Here you go.

I purchased a hammer coral and since upgraded from a 36 gal to a 55 gallon tank. It was doing fine in the 36 but started dwindling after the switch. I upped the calcium and salinity levels to normal. And have tried him at the bottom of the tank and about half way up the tank. He's currently...
