No it's deep dark red. Scrape it of then?

I have a turkey baster I use for feeding the anemones and blowing off the rock. It doesn't blow off though. I'll leave it be. Thanks!

If I use a tooth brush it does. But when I blow off the rock and do a water change it stays on. I'll prob just scrape it off.

It is thick and smooth deep red. Not slimy at all but can't tell.

Had the same prob too with the iPhone app. Update the app in the store and it'll work. Tank is doing much better now that the crab is gone.

Yeah. My rock work is not looking that great right now. Have 2 anemones that made it hard to restack. Once they move around again I'll redo it.

Had a red mithrax crab from **** in my tank. It was eating snails at first then moved onto my sandsifting star fish and large brittle star fish. Killed that. Was nipping at my bubble anemone. And I just added some small ricordea and it ate one of the little orange ones. That was the last straw...

I used marine algaefix With success. Its a biocide and won't kill anything else besides hair algae. It's the exact same thing as fw algaefix. So get whichever is cheaper. But I used that with the refugium. For full disclosure. I also have been using purple up and that stuff works!

I have a 29g and just got done with a bad hair algae outbreak. Only thing that solved it was adding a refugium in the back with chaeto. I have compartment in the nanocube for this and I just got the JBJ led refugium light for it. Solved the prob. In a week.

I have a fire shrimp and one peppermint shrimp. They get along fine. The fire shrimp chases the peppermint off from his side of the tank but that's it. I'm panning on adding a goby and a red pistol shrimp soon.

Do they eat fire shrimp?

They do look alike and I am a novice to this hobby. I got the other from my lfs and this one from Petsmart. So, it is possible I got a crazy camel shrimp bent on tank domination! Oh well, pistol shrimp are nice right?

Well the fight of the peppermint vs the bubble anemone is over. Peppermint was dead this morning and anemone was all shrunken up. Hope the anemone lives. Kind of glad that shrimp is gone she was crazy aggressive to everything in the tank. The other peppermint doesn't bother anything.

Had not heard of a pistol shrimp till now. Really cool. I have 2 peppermints and a fire shrimp now. I may take the peppermints back. One is crazy aggressive and picks on the anemone and has even eaten a few crabs. They are not under fed either. This one is just mean!

Your clowns and the damsel get along? Sounds good thanks for the reply.
