Just curious, has anyone ever heard of a pistol shrimp or yellow watchman goby eat a feather duster? Or maybe a mantis shrimp or purple reef lobster eating feather dusters?

Hm, okay. I'll go out and buy some frozen stuff and give it a try. The LR is quite small, and it came with the pistol shrimp I bought at my LFS.

The food it gulps down travels through the inside of the body. I don't think bristle stars do that. Bristle stars carries its food over its arms, I think. I'm located near Frederick, yeah. We should high-five each other sometime. :p

Here are some more pictures of the white glob

I have two small pieces of LR that's teeming with life. They're isolated in two jars for now... I do water changes every day for the jars. - One of them is a feather duster. Do you guys know what species? Looks like a juvenile Hawaiian duster to me, but I'm not sure. It's been two days and I've...

Hmm.. I came up with a crazy idea when I was designing the tank. It has to be bigger than 5 gallons now. I've found a calculator: DIY - Calculate Glass Thickness That Fits Your Aquarium | TheAquaTools I'm hoping that this applies to non-tempered glass too?

I called up Lowes and they had non-tempered glass for sale. Unlike Home Depot, they will cut the glass for you. I've read that tempered glass is also referred to as 'safe glass' in that it doesn't crack as easily as normal glass. Naturally, I would think to use tempered. But since Lowes has no...

Oh, let me clarify what I mean then. So, I want a way where I can transfer saltwater from my 20 gallon tanks to my 46 gallon tank and back. I was thinking of buying some pumps to accomplish this task, but I am unsure what type of pump to buy. One solution is to buy a 460 gph pump as the return...

It's saltwater.

It'll have just water.

Hey guys, I have several tanks that I kind of want to connect together. Reason is, it's a hassle to change the water for each tank when all the tanks have the same water parameters. It's taking way too long to finish. Anyway, I have a really ugly 46 gallon tank that I want to use as a main...

Hm, not too long when opened. But refrigeration seems to extend the hatch rate a bit.

How long do brine shrimp and rotifer cysts last on the shelf?

But I've read that scooter blennies rarely accept frozen foods.

Hey guys, so I really want to get a couple of blue-green chromis and a scooter blenny (possibly a pair). My plan is to raise a bunch of copepods, brine shrimp, and rotifers in separate bottles and then feed them to the fish. So, I've read up on copepods, and found several species sold online...
