I found him dead the next morning. I dont think theres anything i could have done. :(

I just got home from work to find my oscar (5 1/2") laying on his side after eating an inch long figure eight puffer. Hes alive but looks very distressed. They werent housed together, but thats a long story. The Oscar ate him and it didnt sit well. I doubt this is a problem anyone has dealt, but...

90 gal reef with keys live rock. A few weeks ago i noticed tiny tiny little white things walking around on the glass. There are quite a few of them and they're more prolific in areas of algea growth. I cant give a good description as theyre incredibly tiny. Theyre very active and appear fairly...

Will an arrow crab kill snails? I would assume so. Will it kill my brittle stars? I hope not.

Im thinking of purchasing an arrow crab for my 90 reef while the fish are out being treated for ick. I want him to get rid of hitchhiker crabs and bristle worms. Will an arrow crab kill snails? I would assume so. Will it kill my brittle stars? I hope not.

Always posts twice. dont know what that is.

Just out of curiousity what are your thoughts on the anemone consumption?

I just found the red sea sailfin tang ive been looking for for months now. If you have any care tips or foods that work I'd love to hear them. Thanks P.S. - Im not new to the hobby and this definitely wasnt an impulse buy. Im just looking for tips from those that have kept this species.

Mine are discs so i really dont feed them much at all. Ive heard many people say that discs dont need to be fed but I add some live phytoplankton every now and then and they always look great.

In any event I strongly dislike them. I dont think this is too unreasonable. I've got some that wonder around during the day and i find them quite unattractive. I know detrivors are beneficial but i think my clean up crew of crabs and snails will do the job in my seriously understocked...

I figured Id ad to this after what i saw earlier tonight. I came home to find 1 of 14 full maroon disc anemones dark, small, and shriveled. It was added to its current tank last night from another one of my tanks. After several months and many midnight redlight searches I turned up no bristle...

What can I dip live rock in to get bristle worms out of the rock. Freshwater? Carbonated salt water? Pretty straight forward question. Thanks.
