Looks like a cup coral to me.

It has never come out anytime I have been watching. I have never seen a bristle worm with a mouth on it like this.

Fleshy part.

I have a open brain coral for 4 months now. I noticed a hole appear in it awhile (3 months) ago but noticed nothing at the time. I looked at it tonight and there is a creature in the hole! I could not get a clear pic of it but here is the best description I can give. It looks like the creature...

I would like to get a carpet anemone. This is the main reason for the MH but also there are a lot of SPS that interest me.

Where do you find a list of such items on the CITES list?

I have a new tank as my old one had a seal that started to let go. This one is a 65 with the dims of 36x18x26. I have one 250 MH now that is not yet mounted. Due to a center brace I was thinking of getting another 250. Is this too much? I realize this is about 7.7 wpg which is not too much but...

I used a razor blade and some natural fiber twine. The twine just disolves after a few weeks.

Today I noticed one of the sealed edges looked to have some sand behind it and as I looked closer it looks as if there is a water pocket in a couple spots around the seam. Has anyone seen this and if so is it close to letting go? Oh yeah, the water pocket is almost to the end of the seal. Sorry...

My tank has those dimensions.What I may do is put the light over the center and use my PC's to fill in the rest That way I have an area of high light and if I need a lower light area I have one. The only reason is that I will upgrade later and I want a 250 so I can use it on the upgrade. Thanks...

I want to put a single 250W over my tank but to center it would mean I would have a bad shadow in the tank. Any solutions? I am not keen on cutting the center brace. What I was thinking was to place the MH on one side and have my pc's cover over the other side. It is a squat tank so only 36"...

I have the drops but lost the booklet. Can someone give me the directions? TIA.

My tank is 18" tall. Packagerat, do you have your mh under a hood on a pendant? i am looking into gettin a carpet anemone and some sps. I want to insure i am providing the best light to them. thanks for all the input. Keep it coming!

I can't make sense of some of the info i have been reading about T5. From what I am reading T5 is as good if not better. I understand the heat issue with MH. How high should the MH be above the water line and/ or a glass cover? Any input would be appreciated.

I had one of my false clowns meet a PH ( since been covered) and not make it. I went to the lfs and bought what was sold as a false but now that I look at him/her I realize it is a true. My other 3 are terrorizing it. Is this just because the fish is new ( 2 weeks) or is it a species barrier?

My carpet has done some wondering and has meet a large aiptasia in my tank ( I know, I know...) and has had some tissue damage from the sting of the aiptasia. I am not sure if I should worry a lot or be confident in the fact that the anemone will heal itself. Any suggestions?

I have a 20 with nothing in it and I was wondering if you need live sand and rock in it? Maybe those who are running frag tanks can tell me how they have it set up. TIA.

There is 600gph being pushed in the tank so I just want to be able to black out the rocks and some how save the corals short of cutting them off.

I have a 20 reef that I want to combine with a new 55 I just got. No problem you say, well here is the catch. I have a small amount of cyano and hair algea that I don't want to transfer and I have a small toadstool attached to a large piece of rock that I do not want to break. I want to put the...

Over the last week I have noticed my Tang nipping at my red open brain. What gives?

I read on another site that someone who was a plumber had came home and didn't wash his hands then for some reason reached into the tank with all the resins and other chemicals on his hands. Apparently his whole tank crashed! Thats a lot of of time, patience and $ down the tubes for a little...

I am looking to upgrade to MH and I would like to know what wattage and possibly what brands some fellow reefers use that you would recommend. I would like the option of keeping virtually any type of coral or clam. TIA.

Both of those are great! Thanks to you both! Has anyone used 12-14k bulbs as they seem to be a nice choice in between 10 and 20?

I am hoping that someone can help me in my search. back in the beginning of the year I had found a web site that showed with pics, the contrast between different temperature halide lights. I am hoping anyone can remember where this was. I am looking into a bigger tank (isn't everyone :) ) and...

I woke up to find that my crab had one of its claws off. Not sure if it was ripped off or fell off. Take a look at what is in my tank cause I don't think anything in there would do that. Any suggestions? It is not any type of molt cause the arm on the crab is completely gone an the cleaner...
