There are tiny white starfish all over my tank. They started our really small, now are about the size of a penny with their legs outstretched. They are all over the Green Hair Algae and some spots of glass. Here is a photo: I was told that they were tiny white serpent stars when there were 2...

It may be a feather duster. They were all over my LR. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Sounds good. You're so informational! Thanks so much! I just checked my nitrate levels. Yesterday they were past 160 PPM (waaayyyyy too high, I know) and today are on- between 40 and 80. Still too high, but I'm getting there. Today, instead of a water change, i killed the Aiptasoa in my tank...

Thanks Carey. I'm currently working on lowering the nitrates, I may add some red macro algae (I forget the correct name for it, sorry) and maybe a Kent Nitrate Sponge, as well as daily water changes until it lowers? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Hm, that may be it, but nothing else seems affected by the nitrate change. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Alright, good to know. I was actually going to pick it up. Should I get the Kent Nitrate sponge? Does it work? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Okay then. Good to know, thanks. I was about to pick it up. Should I get the Kent Nitrate sponge? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Okay. I'm on my way there ATM. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Alright then, so I don't have any copper. I'll look into the Red Sea kits. Hopefully they sell them at Petco. I know that they aren't at my LFS. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Alright then. Though it's not needed, I think that I should get a phosphate tester, since algae feeds off of it and I currently have quite a bit of algae so I can see if that's the cause of it. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Should I get copper as well, for inverts? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Yeah. Okay. I have a question, relating to water levels. I have a test kit for the basics (PH, Ammonia, Nitrate, Nitrite) and today I'm going out to purchase the other levels required for a reef. What are they? Calcium, Alkalinity, KH? Sorry about my sudden off-topic-ness. Sent from my iPhone...

Birds best actually resembles Acropora a bit, IMO. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Ah, alright. Shame. They're gorgeous. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Pretty much, as in the green part of the frogspawn came off of the tan "stem", if that makes any sense. Stupid me didn't check the levels at the time as I thought that this was normal, and it lived for about 2 weeks and would continue living if I had not left the lights off for a week. I only...

Is that a frogspawn, and a Euphelia? I spelled that wrong xD. So I can grow pretty much every LPS? Would this include Acropora? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

That could be the death f the shrimp, since my nitrates were VERY high. My nitrates were low at the time of the coral, though. It's head came off, so I just assumed that it fragged itself, since the other head stayed on. But, from what my dad said, this means that it would die. Anything on that...

Not exactly. There's still a lot of it. The dottyback was harassing him a lot, though the blenny was twice as big. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Could be, but my tank had tons of algae, especially in the sand, on the glass, the rock, and huge amounts of Green Hair Algae. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Thanks so much! This helped a ton. So, I have not looked onto hard corals much (since my tank can currently just grow soft) but I assume LPS and SPS. Pretty muh the majority of hard corals, if that makes any sense. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Yeah, I agree. Some people say that their clownfish are aggressive and kill, but mine have never once went near anything in my tank, except when the dottyback is harassing them. The clownfish usually reside at the back corner of the tank by my thermometer and filter pump on the left, and my...

1. Zebra Lionfish 2. Moorish Idol 3. Cuddle fish 4. Any seahorse. 5. Rabbitfish and Mandarin tie. But my tank is either A. Too small B. Too peaceful C. Not compatible for anything here. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Due to the light (not the blue light with the fan, but the regular light. I can't remember the correct name or wattage of the light at this moment.) waning, and an open spot for an LED bar, I have decided that I would like to add some lighting to grow hard corals. I have not researched lighting...

I have bad news. My blood shrimp, Lawnmower blenny, and frogspawn are all dead. The frogspawn split a few weeks back and was doing pretty well. The thing split in half, and it had a head flying around and going in and out of the crevices, as the other half stayed implanted. My dad read up on it...

I don't know f anybody said this, and I am still pretty new to this hobby, but I have a Biocube 29g reef as well(okay, it has 2 corals, and I am adding more soon.), and I have lots of green hair algae. I got a Lawnmower blend, and he helped a bit, and I just boiled the smallest rock that had it...
