any ideas? It is on his right eye on the forward facing view and sticks out about 1mm. the rest of his eye appears normal. Thanks!

I have a maroon clownfish that has been doing quite well over the last 6 months or so. It is behaving normally but over the last 3 days I have found it to have something attached to its right eye. It looks to me like a type of flatworm attached to the bottom edge of his right eye. No other...

I have around 30lbs of rock in the 30gallon and am planning on moving all of it over at once. Altogether it will probably be 70lbs or so in the 65gallon. Right now with the rock I have in the 65g quite a bit of the base rock is covered by my DSB, does rock still benefit if it is covered...

Ok so here is the (long winded) story. About 2 months ago I found a nice 65 gallon tank on craigslist and couldn't resist. My current tank is only 4 months old and is a 30gallon and doing well. I recently moved and am planning on having my 65 gallon be my DT (in my new house) and eventually...

Yes they are red. :sorry: Will go get some flatworm exit! Thanks. On a side note, I have been thinking of getting a Sixline Wrasse. Would one wrasse be enough to take care of stuff like this in the future? Just trying to decide if I need to nix buying anything from that LFS. I inspected the...

I recently purchased a Frogspawn frag and have noticed some very tiny flatworms on its base over the last few days. All of my fish look to be doing fine, but I am wondering if I need to do something about these? My parameters are all fine with stable temp/ph. I currently have a Coral Beauty...

My YWG went missing for a week and I decided that something must of eaten him. Went out and got a diamond goby and the next morning I was suprised to find them both sharing a burrow! Yours may still show up.

I was thinking of doing the same thing. I currently have a HOB Aqua C Remora and it is pretty dang good. Granted it is my first skimmer, but it puts out quite a bit of junk. I am upgrading to a 65g and currently have a 20g sump and it will help out quite a bit to use it. Hope it works!

He was fully grown when I got him, but that was only a few months. Will work on getting that salinity up then. Is the best way to do that simply replace evaporated water with salt water instead of plain ro water?

Not the best weekend for my fish.:( Yesterday morning I found my goby had decided to carpet surf overnight (amazing he jumped through a 1.5 x 3 inch hole that has since been covered) and this morning my Banggai Cardinal is dead. Examined it and cannot see anything odd, no ich, no lesions...

Still pretty new to this so I can't help you out much, but as far as the CUC, one place I have been impressed with is www.reefcleaners.org. You can email John with your tank specifications etc and they can make a few rec's for your tank. I used them on my tank and it certainly streamlined the...

Thanks for that link as well. I had seen the Xtal and the one referrenced from here above, but your link I think had them both in it. That certainly looks like a stomatella varia. I think the smaller snails must be eating algae on the larger one as they seem to be all on the shell. Your eyes...

Thanks Kurt and TC! I have been reading on here for a while before setting up my tank, but I have posted a few times in the last month. Last parameters from 2 days ago (taken from the linked post above): pH 8.3, Ammonia 0, Nitrite 0, Nitrate 0-5ppm. Temp 78.5-80. This is a ~30G tank 24X17X20...

After almost 6 weeks of my LR being in there I would of thought I had seem most mobile organisms, but there are some new things today when I got home from work! Can anyone help me out with these: Top left is actually two things: 1), one is the small snails attached to my snail there. Are these...

Thanks for your help! I simply tweaked the PH to run more horizontal and he now is peacefully resting on the bottom. The change was pretty much instantaneous!
