Got em!!! A squirt of baking soda and water annoyed it enough for it to emerge from the rock and then gently grabbed it with a pair of tongs. About 3/4 of an inch in diameter and 2 1/2 feet long when elongated.... Disgusting. Now have to decide what to do with it, maybe the LFS will take it???

So I watched for another night to confirm where its home was, and this morning took the leap and dismantled the tank to get the rock out. I have spotted it in the rock so I know it is out of the aquarium! So now I just need to get it out of the huge piece of liverock it is in. I have the rock...

Looks like Kenya tree to me

Looks like some sort of sponge

Looks female, males have a long spike on their dorsal fin.

I found a giant worm in my aquarium last night, it is at least 3 feet long, the photo only shows about 6 inches of it at the head. My tank has been set up for about 2 years so must have been in the rock the whole time. The 3-6 months all my soft corals have been disappearing overnight, no fish...

Not that I can think of, at first I thought it May have been that I was adding marine tropic biocal, I stopped for awhile and no change. When my ca dipped to 320, I started a new calcium only supplement and it is still happening. That is the only thing I add to the tank.

I have a large toadstool mushroom leather which I have had for almost a year that was thriving and growing well until recently. In the last month or two it keeps getting white patches on it and pieces are falling off. It still opens and the polyps come out, but it doesn't look great. I can't...

I have the kitchen and bath one, if it does't have the mildew resistance additive like the GE II, what is the difference between the kitchen and bath stuff and the windows and doors one?? Thanks for the info (just curious, i won't use if it isn't safe)

I am building a sump and have read that the GE I 100% silicone is reef safe, I am wondering if anyone has actually used it or knows it or being used and is it actually safe? Thanks

I think it will ride it out for the display, everyone else looks healthy. I know it is taking a risk, but I would be able to get the fish out anyway. I am having trouble with water quality in my 20G QT and the 2 tangs. I am using baking soda to keep the pH constant as one article...

The fish seem to have acclimated well to 1.012 and both fed this morning. I will drop it a bit further tonight. What about the other fish in the display tank. They are looking healthy and eating, but I read that if one fish has ich then it is in the tank and they all should be treated. Do I...

From what I read it looks like hyposalinity is the only thing that may treat both diseases and seems less stressful for the fish that fresh water dips or formalin or copper. I have lowered the sg to 1.012 in the QT. Any other suggestions or advice?

I am looking for advice as I have a blue regal tang and a yellow tang with two different diseases. I have had the blue tang for 4 months and he was in my display and doing great until this week. I saw him flash a few times earlier in the week and then today noticed 5-7 white spots of ich. I...

Yes, legs are hairy. Claws are green, rest is hard to tell because it covered but brownish.
