    Sea Hare eggs

    My sea hare laid eggs. I had to google it to know what this mass was. Kinda gross, yet cool. I read that my sea hare may die. Could this be true?

    Bubble tip anenome not doing well

    I know it isn’t healthy yet, but I am surprised it is even alive! I did take your advice and scrub some rocks and have researched how to get my algae under control. I did a 10% water change. I ordered a new test kit to be sure my testing numbers are correct. I reduced my blue lights a...

    What is it?

    These clam like creatures are growing on my rock. As my algae overgrowth has recessed these appeared and now seem to be reproducing. There could be 5 of them now. I don’t know if they came in on my rock nearly 5 years ago or if they came with the mushroom coral I bought over a year ago.

    Bubble tip anenome not doing well

    I am happy to report that my anemone lives! Albeit, it is only a 10th of it’s original size. I fed it last night and it ate indeed. Today what is left of him looks alert and happy. I live too far away from a fish store, so I purchase online. I must admit, I have lost several corals I...

    Bubble tip anenome not doing well

    I think my anemone will not survive. I want to try again. I am preparing to buy a new test kit in case mine is too old to be accurate. I attached a picture of my lighting stats and the way my 2 lights are hung above my 60 gallon aquarium. I do have a lot of algae. I have a sea hare who has...

    This is my anemone now. Kinda sad looking, but it has a little spark of life.

    Bubble tip anenome not doing well

    It is looking like about 1/5th of my anemone is going to survive. It’s hanging in there. I think you were right about my needing to acclimate it to my lighting. I should have shaded it until it adjusted. It looks pretty pitiful right now, but I am hopeful.

    Bubble tip anenome not doing well

    Part of it did rot (dissolve) away. I gently pulled the rotting stuff off of it. It’s foot has been set, but last night it crawled off and is hiding this morning. I guess that is a good sign of life. I will get a better picture when I can. With it having crawled off I have a glimmer of hope...

    Bubble tip anenome not doing well

    I did not acclimate it to the lighting. However, when I saw it was struggling I covered the lighting so it was shaded. Today half of the anemone rotted away, but it looks like it’s other half is trying to live. It is sticking to a rock and the tentacles are full looking, yet very short...

    Hi everyone!

    Lots of questions! Hi. I am new on this site. I inherited my son’s saltwater tank when he went off to college. I have learned so much already by pouring over my books, and by studying what the online sellers say, and by asking questions of my married daughter who also has a tank. I have so...

    Bubble tip anenome not doing well

    I added a green bubble tip anenome to my aquarium yesterday. It looked healthy when I added it. I acclimated it properly and set it on a nice rock. Within a few hours it had moved 8 inches to another spot, which is fine with me. However, when I checked on it this morning it looked like it...
