When I first got my pinkspotted goby I would hand feed. It's been a while since i tried it, but he isn't scared of my hand at all, in fact, sometimes i have to push him away if I am trying to do something with the rocks. I like this kind of behavior, makes me feel like a proud daddy.

Looks like my Japanese Pistol Shrimp. They like to dig a hole (usually under rock) and hide all day long and enjoy having some rubble to cover their hole. I would also suggest getting a shrimp goby (pinkspotted gets along well with mine). Take a look here...

Thanks for the ID. I'll keep an eye on it, JIC.

I bought this piece of dead coral with some polyps on it and i noticed one of these things on it. I noticed it in another part of rock, but then it seems to have made itself at home inside a little tube on the coral. As soon as light hits it, it shoots inside the tube it's living in. Any ideas...

Glad I could help.

Nice picture... I'm no expert, but I looked for it @ Liveaquaria.com and it seems to be a Blue Striped Mushroom. Check it out: http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_Display.cfm?pCatId=1860

Thanks steve, hopefully with consistent feedings and lighting times it'll grow. Appreciate the help.

Thanks steve. I fed it some frozen brine shrimp the day before yesterday and yesterday it opened it's mouth almost fully. However I still dont see any sweepers though. Could it be that it's malnourished? Or does it take some time to grow sweepers? In either case, it looks a little bit healthier...

Thanks guys. So how should I go about feeding it? I looked up the trumpet coral and it says it has very short sweeper tenticles, but I cant seem to see them. Where should i put the brine shrimp? will it go into it's little mouth looking thing? Also, yesterday night it let something black out of...

Hey all! Well, after about 2 weeks of water tests coming up good, i finally got out to the LFS and decided to buy some corals. I bought a small rock with some polyps on it to see how it would do. It seems to be doing just fine, and as a matter of fact it seems to be getting bigger... Today I...

Well, i haven't experienced any losses yet, but I can imagine it hurts (even if it was from his own stupidity). Sorry to hear about your loss...RIP Gizmo.

I have, but i'll be sure to pay more attention to the glass. I mostly pay attention to the rocks (and 2 featherdusters i found). I shall check tonight. Thanks again!

Well, does newly formed coralline come off easily with finger? And as for egg masses I suppose you mean snail eggs (which i dont have), could be calcium...thats what my girlfriend said it looks like. It's really dense in the middle and forms a streak in either direction...weird stuff, I'll keep...

I already have some coralline growing and I dont have any snails just yet (waiting for some more algae. And these sports are indeed in the interior wall of the tank. I removed it quite easily with my finger. We discussed it during chat on sunday and it seems to be algae (definitely feels like it).

It's very firm...It's more like i have to scrape it off.

I have had my tank running for about 5 weeks. I recently started seeing some white streaks forming on the glass. It seems to be near the rocks on the glass. They come off rather easily with the magnetic scrapper. I am just curious as to what they are. This was an angled pic, and there is also...

It's probably a heat issue...If the computer runs fine for an hour and then just locks up, and it doesn't seem like a software issue, it's probably a cooling problem. Furthermore, if a fan is broken, it will contribute more to the heat. My suggestion is to try getting that fan fixed or finding a...

Thanks guys, you make me feel right at home. It's a pleasure to be so welcomed into the community. Thanks again. :fadein:

Cool. Thanks for the help devilishturtles. I ordered 2 hagen 50's with optional filter and I think the setup you recommended will work nicely with my bowfront. I think the coraline looks good too, especially at my dealers shop. They have the back glass full with coraline, polyps and other...

First off i would like to thank everyone here for their help. So far my questions and concerns have been addressed quickly and effectively (thanks again guys). The only thing i'm sorry about is that i didn't find this place until after I got my tank. Currently I have a 36 gal all-glass...

Sorry I wasn't specific enough. But yes that is what i meant, should i put one one the left pane of glass, and one on the right, or should i put them on the back, with the heads facing each other? As for the light, i plan on getting a glass cover with an orbit, or coralife 130w cf. since i...

Thanks Devilishturtles. Looks like i'm gonna pick up a couple 200's at the LFS today. I've also been reading on where and how to place them, some say they should face towards glass, some say facing each other. Does it depend the way the rocks are set up? Also, are there any ways that I should...

I have a 36 gal tank, about 40lbs of live rock, about 3" of sand, and an emperor 280 hob filter. I have had it running about 5 weeks with 3 damsels in there about 4 weeks, and the live rock in there a couple of days. My tests all seem to be good. I am a complete newbee at this and would like...

I went to the fish store today and took a look at the LV and Corals that they have there. I saw something simmilar to what I had growing on my rock. I asked them what it was and they said Coraline Algae. I could be wrong, but i'm only a newbee. Does this look like algae to anybody else? Is it...

Cool, thanks for your help. I appreciate it.
