Well my clown fish is still hanging on. Today he looks better and his fins are no longer clamped and his color is getting better. I'm wondering if it was truly that he was just pretty stressed from being shipped and then being moved to my tank. We will see...

I have an emerald crab in my 40 gallon and so far he hasn't touched my feather dusters (that I've noticed) and has only eaten some of my bubble algae. I did have a cluster of bubble algae that he eat so maybe in time he'll get it all. He has pulled some things off my rock that I didn't want him...

I really can't tell which it is...ich or brooklynella. So I have no idea what to do about it! I really don't want to put him in more distress than he is already in. He seems to be looking better but that maybe just my wishful thinking.

Slime coat deteriorating? Does that mean it isn't ich or is that part of it? Is there anything I can do? Some weird stuff was happening last night and maybe I'm seeing more than is reality but my sick clown was on the bottom of the tank looking really bad. All of a sudden he goes limp and looks...

Oh also I don't see him rapid breathing or scratching himself against rocks....yet.

My water test are: pH - 8.1 Ammonia - 0 Nitrites - 0 & Nitrates - 10. He did not have any white spots this morning but tonight I do notice some. I am guessing this is ich. It doesn't look like the other clown or the flame angel has any spots. He is still eating and swimming about. But he...

The other clownfish looks fine and seems to bully him. They keep doing the whole seizure looking thing. He is eating but the other fish (flame angel...

yeah, I'm leaning towards it being a sea cucumber also. I just wonder what kind and if I should dispose of it. I know there are some that if they die can poison a tank.

Terrance, that is my protein skimmer.

I found this was on my LR. It is Tan with pink markings and a blue eye/head. No hairs or bristles or bumps on it. The texture of it kind of reminds me of corn on the cob...little squares. Does anyone know what it is? Thanks!

I am new to this hobby. I have a 40 gallon Breeder with 38lbs cured live rock & about 30 lbs of live sand. I didn't really go through any kind of cycle being that I used cured LR. I am now on my 3rd week. As of right now I have 1 peppermint shrimp, 1 cleaner shrimp, 2 turbo snails, 6 nassarius...
