I saw this amazing critter on the glass last night actively moving with its two "legs" and catching stuff from the water with its "parachute". Anyone seen this before? http://photo.gerasimov.net/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=6288&g2_serialNumber=2...

Thanks guys, you rule! One damsel fished out with the bottle trap, one to go.

You think the damsel will not find its way back out?

I have a 95Gal reef tank with lots of LR. I was stupid enough to buy a pair of Fiji Damsels. These devils are terrorizing every living creature in my tank. I tried the net, but they are too fast for me. I tried the trap made out of transparent plastic with a door made of many long pieces of...

My PO4 is 0.25-0.4, its hard to say more precisely with the nutrafin test I am using. This is admittedly non zero, but should not cause tissue breakdown. I do have a slight cyano problem, and some of it is on the zoas. This does indicate some overfeeding on my part. I will try to do bigger...

No anges. I only have two mandarin gobies and four damsels (two blue and two fiji), I am not big on fish. I like inverts and corals. I did look at the during the night, nothing suspicious. The only remotely possible suspect is a pistol shrimp that was a hitchiker on LR. I do have blue legged...

The problem is that this is happening all over my tank. I had 6 clusters of zoas scattered all over, and i only have a handful of zoas left that are alive. Some of them were on a rock with a larger (predatory-type) green polyp on it, and he's doing fine.Some of them were alone, and they are also...

I have this growing on my LR and floating freely in my refugium. It looks pretty nice, and it harbours a million of pods. Anyone has any idea what is it? Here is a close-up: The color on these pics is a tiny bit off. In reality they are more brown then golden-brown. To the touch they...

Any ideas folks? Any at all?

After doing fine and multiplying for 5 months, my zoanthids all of a sudden started closing up and dying. I maintain Ca at 450-480, ph 8.1-8.2 depending on time of day. I do regular water changes of 10% every other week. I have a large heavily lighted refugium, and a prism skimmer. The system...

Florida cup coral? This looks to me like a Florida hidden cup coral. They are frequently mistaken for glass anemones, but they do have a skeleton unlike the anemone. Sure way to tell is to gently poke it with something soft (like a brush) and see if there is a "crater" left when it hides. A...

I can see the photos just fine. Anyone can see them or is it broken for everyone but me?

Tonight I have noticed swarms of tiny critters actively jumping all over my 95Gal. reef. Caught one and made this photo under the microscope: I think this might be spawn of my pistol shrimp, but i would be delighted to hear expert opinions. Here is another shot: The critter is about 1.5mm...
