Question for you guys... I was just told that sixline wrasse are unsafe for reef tank because they might pick on the corals and the inverts. Is that true???

thank you...I will try that....

I have had a clown for over a week now.....he won't eat anything. I have tried pellets,flakes, brine shrimp......There are lots of amphipods type creatures inside the tank...do clowns eat them and could the clown survive on them.....I have tried everything....I just can't tell what the problem...

the SG is between 1.023 and 1.024. There is no Ammonia or any trites. The Nitrate is at 10 so I don't think the water parameters is the issue. To confirm I did take water samples to the LFS and they confirmed that the water parameter is okay. Also to answer Six-Line...I don't have any mantis...

I have had the tank for 2-3 months...I let it cycle with live rock and live sand inside the tank....I bought 10 turbo snails first and then 2 sm tank raised clowns.....1 by 1 my snails started dying and then this morning I found a whole in one of my clowns fins.....my clowns were not eating...

The tank parameters are okay.....No ammonia or trites. Nitrates are at 10....pH is at 8.3.

After my tank cycled.....I decided to place some fish in my tank....according to the LFS clowns would make a perfect start...so yesterday I bought 2 sm tank raised clowns and after acclimating them to the tank...I placed them inside the tank....I tried feeding them last night but they would not...

After my tank cycled I got 2 sm tank raised clowns. I followed the process of acclimating them to the tank and then put them inside the tank yesterday......I tried feeding them last night but they won't eat anything....I tried again this morning but nothing....I am afraid and don't know what to...

thank you all for your response......

They are turbo snails....when I try to lift them....they are still stuck to the rock or anything they are sitting on.....

I bought about 10 regular snails for my saltwater tank, first few days they kept on falling upside down and I would turn them around whenever I saw one upside down....Now after a week they haven't moved from their place (bottom of the tank)....Are they dead or alive???? How can I tell???

I just got a 70 gallon tank. 3 days ago I added salt water in and got the Pump started. I went to one of the fish stores and they told me to buy few damsel as it would help me cycle the tank faster......so I bought 7 damsels and added them to the tank.....I went to a different fish store to buy...
