My clown fish are having babies so today when I looked in the tank I saw all these orage looking balls swimming. On closer inspection they don't look like fish to me but they do swim. They starts out round like a ball then compesses its body as if it shoots out water to move, then back to a ball...

Thanks mel and match I feel better about his eyes, they do reflect green when I look at him just like in your pictures. He has been in a 10 gal Qt for 2.5 weeks now and eating fine, he is small but messy. and sooo cute.. :D

Yes he is eating just fine and as happy as can be. very active and alert.

Just got a new porcupine puffer, he is in Qt and i noticed that both his eyes have specks on them and are not clear. It dosn't look like cloudy eyes to me, Just wondering if it is normal or not. It really reflects when the lights are on Thanks.. Lou

Well I'm at 45 days now and I am going to go 10 weeks just to be sure before they go back into the main display. I also left the UV on. It was a job to catch them but well worth it, they are all QT in a 55 gal in my kitchen (Thank god my wife is into this... So no problem there!) They all look...

I had to move all my fish to quarantine due to Ick :mad: (fallow main 8-10 weeks). In the end is it possible to move them back without acclimation? Do I need only to adjust Ph, Salinity, and temp to match display tank, or is there more to it? Thanks.... Lou

Well to be honest the one in the first picture was on the glass and I just sucked him up with the turkey baster. The other one is quick, whenever I go anywhere near he pulls himself back into the rock, but if I really needed to catch him I would use tweezers while my wife was feeding the tank...

Thanks.. I guess I'll keep them then. Over time will they multiply out of control if I let them be?

Found these 2 guys in my tank, one was on the glass the other only came out at feeding time. Keepers or Killers ... Thanks Lou

I am unable to give an iodine dip, the leather is attache to one of my large LR. Is there another way around this? Thanks.

Hi, I've had this toadstool for around 9 months and he was doing fine. About 2 weeks ago he stopped extending his polyps all the way. I though he was going to shed. Now his polyps are sill not opening all the way but I see white patches on him in two places. Is this necrosis? or maybe an...

Thanks everyone.. Well it seems I have what Devilishturtles is talking about a vemetil snail/worm. I think they can become a problem if left unchecked. I found some information and a good picture (fig 3) on this site that resembles mine. I will be finding more about them as it seems they are...

Have these feather duster type things all over my tank but they don't have feathers. When I blow off my rocks with the turkey baster they slime web like streamers all over, are they a problem? TIA....

Found this slug like creature today in my tank on the rocks. Is it safe in my reef or trouble to come. TIA. Lou.

Me and My clown thank you..
