2 vibrating snails now. 2 vibrating snails now. Seems to be more common... Found more links about it. Not mine.. stupid snails on powerhead! - Reeflands Forum Suction cups and lots of them. Going to fill the gap between the power head and glass. If that fails I can buy a rubber pad at the...

YouTube - Cone Snail_Eating_Fish YouTube - Poison in a Cone YouTube - cone snail http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMTbpP_9rPU Kind of scary.

But mine has a long tail and a wide mouth below the nose. Mostly anything on the bottom of the tank is food. Once stung the fish or snails become unable to move and the snail slowly eats them whole. I'm not sure how the snail eats them whole and still fits in it's sell. But it does some how...

This is the snails colorings above. Below is another photo of a similar snail. But the markings above are the identical color pattern. But different snail soft body inside the shell from mine?

Shrimp is in QT tank with 1 sponge coral. Worried if shrimp play or investigate the snail it will fire it's venom spear at the shrimp and kill it. Not sure if the snail is a threat to cleaner shrimp? I've been reading about them, can't see if shrimp are on the diet. The one that I have seems...

Hitched a ride on a coral in the LFS. Region unknown. It's in the family of cone snails, color red. It's actually eating holes in my sponge and eating live astreas snails of equal size clean out of the shell. It's got a big appetite for a 1-1/2" snail. Venomous that shoots a spear from it's...

Have to shut the power head off at night. I've added new snails in to the tank. The vibrating snail has quite a following. A large group of snails follow it around the tank attaching them selves to the shell of the vibrating snail. It's getting a lot of attention. But in the wild I doubt a...

My astreas snail keeps me awake all night. It only moves from the arm of the power head to feed on algae for an hour or so, then returns back to the power heads arm and wedges it's shell between the arm and glass. (The arm with the suction cup) (Over the power head) The snail will work it's way...

Last year I set up a 150 gallon tank. 48x24x30 tank. Filled it with 300lbs of rock/live rock. The sand started getting dirty so I thought HEY GET A DIAMOND GOBY! So this fish with an appetite for sand is more like a hover vacuum cleaner. I would have never expected so much from one little fish...

New 10 gallon tank with all new water as QT using an established wet/dry filter already cycled. You would think, happy stress free fish. Mistake. I trusted LFS water testing. LFS said no2 and no3 were near zero levels with water they sold me. I should have made them test it in front of me...

IMAGE THE YELLOWISH BROWN BLUR IN THE PHOTO IS IT'S WEBBED SKIN. When I first noticed it it was a straight like like a brown flat worm. 1 month passed and it grew almost 4 arms to it's body. Characteristics - Size 1/4 inch - Moves 1" every 2 minutes. - Color Brown - 2 antenna off each arm...

It's a Spaghetti worm it seems like. Creepy looking thing but seems harmless. I thought maybe it could have stinging tenticals like a jellyfish. But the link says it's harmless. They have a great pic too, just search "Spaghetti" on the page. Source <a...

New orange sponge. Inside there is a white tube with lots (8+) of human hair like worms that stretch out about 3 inches and wiggle around like earth worms freely in the water twirling or exploring other parts of the sponge. Sometimes they go to the top of the sponge and sometimes they move to...

Not sure how to treat this. A. Remove pollops and rub with tooth brush. B. Remove pollops and put in bucket with many very hungry hermit crabs. C. Remove pollops and put in bucket with out light. D. Treat with med. I don't have hair algae anywhere else in my 150 gal tank except on this pollop...

I have a blue devil in a tank I wan't to drain and put away. My reef tank has fire fish, chromis, a clown, gobies, cleaner shrimps. I will get more tiny passive fish. But I have this blue devil in a tank that I would like to keep if I can but don't want it to attack other fish. At 1 inch long...

UPDATE, no kidding. FISH DIG. So glad I took out took out the rocks and replaced them directly on the bottom in the 150 gal tank. My other tank with a 4" sand bed also had a pile of rocks but much lower. I have a large damsel that digs holes all around the tank and tumbled over a pile of rocks...

Yes thank you. They are Q-Tips Feeling so much better. I was worried they were were bad and could possibly sting. They grow so fast. Just over night they got fat and plump at the base looking like a valcano. I looked up Qtips and they were a prefect match. THANK YOU!!! They had to grow more to...

The big ones are too far away to photo. They are growing at an alarming rate, so maybe in a few days I can take new picks as they double in size.

This is the photo. They are growing fast and spreading all over my tank super fast hitch hiked from on a coral I got last week. I am worried they can sting. They are little tubes with what looks like a polyp for a head with little hairs that pop out from the sides. They get fat too like they...

Thats good news. Thanks. I guess from what you are saying in my tank it won't ever happen with current and filters and hungry critters. Thank you for you responses. I might set up a 10 gallon tank one of these days with out a filter and see if I can get the eggs to hatch in there. For now I...

Found em! It's an Amphipod. I had the lights turned off and it was out of the rock sleeping on the bottom. It's a scary looking bug. Just looks like some bad mean brown worm with legs ready to bite and looking to get in trouble. It is definitely FAST!!!!! When I woke it up ZOOOOMMM. Gone from...

What if I want baby cleaner shrimp. Can one turn male or female? At this moment they both are full of eggs under their paddles.

Lighting I set up my tank to be in front of 2 windows. One gets direct sunlight in the early am and the other gets indirect light all day. I put the corals in view of the windows for natural lighting. I think I had them about a week and they doubled in height/growth but not spreading outward...

These are the coral polyps. These are not mine but photos of the same corals.

Brand new to coral. I bought 5 polyp frags and started feeding them Coral Life liquid food. I've been feeding them every day. Can I over feed them? They are growig faster with more food. My question is... Will the coral food turn in to ammonia or is it different from fish food? Thank you.
