Anthias are always seen in pairs or more, as are clowns, but I was wondering if they can thrive being kept as a single fish? What would the smallest tank a single anthia could live in?....Im sure I could keep one alive in a 10 gal but I want to be humane here. Maybe 40 gallons? I have a 37 gal...

I got a new monti frag in my tank and the snails knocked it over onto my GSP colony while I was at work the other day. The polyps are open, but not fully. It hasnt opened fully only in that spot where they touched for a day or so. Are GSP's capable of that kind of sting? Will this area of the...

I have been thinking about adding this fixture to my 10 gal nano. Anyone have one?...Any comments on quality and performance? I have had MH before, but it has been supplimented with actinics....would a 14k bulb be better since I like a little more blue?...or maybe 20k..I dont want it to look...

I have a pair of black perculas in my 37 gal reef. They are doing well, eating well, and love to swim against the powerheads. The problem I have, is that every morning, when I flip on the lights, there are white patches about the size of a ball point pen tip and a little bigger on the under...

I have a 96 watt quad CF coralife fixture....I have had it for about 4 months, and all my corals are doing very vell, even some SPS growth under this light! How long do they last, when should I replace the bulb? Also, I see Current makes a 96 watt quad bulb....I have heard that Current lights...

It took my 10 gal nano almost 9 months to get its first coralline, but to my dismay, my new 37 gal already has coralline on the glass in less than 2 months! Shocking! 8O I guess so far so good.....I hope it isnt going to grow overwhelming fast now! Black perculas are doing great as well!

Check out the growth of my SPS frag under 9.6 WPG of CF in a month and a half time! Just after I got it.... Now.....check out all the pink tips...atleast 1/4 inch of growth on some....mind you the frag is only 2 inches tall! Obviously this is one of the species that does well under CF, per...

I wasnt sure if it was dissapering on its own, but last night I caught my peppermint shrimp chowing down on an entire head of pulsating xenia! I went from 8 stalks to none!...he ate the last big one! :x After your aiptasia are gone, be careful what he moves onto next! Now that I have no xenia...

Ok, I know some bristele worms are good, but I got a really nice peice of figi yesterday for 50$ from the LFS, and when the lights went off, the rock came alive....I counted no less than 17 GIANT bristle worms, and one I am even afraid is a fireworm. I would like to remove atleast some of them...

I removed some macro algae from in between my zoas the other day and ever since, they have not opened in this section...it has been like 5 days and they are still closed!?!?! This spot is in the center of the colony, all the ones around it are opening fine. Is there any food I can use to help...
