They won't bother corals, but all eels wedge themselves into LR and have a lovely tendancy to rearrange the rockwork.

I agree with Lance. Do a partial water change once a week (I do 10-20%, roughly). If you have a fairly good filtration system with LR and such, it suffices just fine.

Thank you.

Haha, yeah. I actually haven't heard it in a couple of nights...

No copper. They came from a LFS and seemed to be in good health. The water doesn't stink, believe me, I checked.

I'd think there would be bodily harm though. I watched mine stagger around the tank bottom for a few minutes, without any injury to him and then he just lay down and died.

Looks in good health. What I don't understand is, my first cleaner shrimp had molted once, so I didn't think their was an iodine/iodide defficiency. And then would that affect them as quickly as a day?

Yeah, I have crabs and a peppermint shrimp and the appear to be doing fine. The urchin idea sounds pretty smart.

I use a slower version of the turkey baster method. Half a baster store water out, half a baster tank water in every... 10(?) minutes. But I would think they would have succumbed to shock a lot sooner than a couple of weeks (or in the last one's case, a day).

Okay, so I've had a cleaner shrimp for a few weeks when it suddenly died. After testing water, I determined it was an unknown natural cause of death. So, I bought another one yesterday. He died today; I found a nassarius snail devouring him. So now I'm beginning to think, is there something I...

It varies. Sometimes there's only a few clicks spaced out and other times there's several clicks sounding a bit more rapidly.

Approximately... two months ago.

All rock was added before the clown. No new rock additions since.

Every night I hear an odd clicking sound in my tank and I am terrified that it may be a mantis shrimp. The only problem is, I had never heard the noise before I got my clownfish. When I got him, I heard the clicking noise and assumed it was him. Could that be correct, or is it just hopeless...

Check your water parameters first. If there is a spike in something, it could be causing them massive stress.

Thanks very much.

My camara is a bit dead at the moment. If they are still shrivelled in a few days I should have it reloaded and charged. Test results: Nitrate--0, Nitrite and ammonia--0, pH--8.2, salinity--1.021. I'm out of my other testing kits, I'll have to pick some up. Hopefully it was just the move...

I used the turkey baster method for about 30 minutes. Thank you very much. Is color loss also a part of stress and will it return?

Maybe I'm just stupid and overlooking things, but I want to be sure... I have just purchased a mushroom coral coated rock and the mushrooms are shrivelling. Could this be due to stress during acclimation or transport? Did I not acclimate correctly? Will they die or will they right themselves or...

thanks.

Hello, I have a 14 gallon marine tank with a skunk cleaner shrimp and a few small peaceful fish already occupying and I hope to be getting some corals soon. However, I have some nuisance aiptasia I'd like to rid myself of and I've been looking into peppermint shrimp (a hit or miss, I know)...

Thank you very much all!

Thank you. We think the first one died because he injured himself on the rock work (he had a pretty large gash over his eye) and in turn that fully stressed him out. Do you happen to know what else may eat bristleworms?

From what I've been doing research on, the bicolor is good in 7 gallons and the wrasse in 13 gallons. I do agree with Fishypop22, I know what the rule is, therefore I'm not getting the bicolor blenny. I have a 10,000K in there.

You can move the female to a new tank, fairly small. She will either release the fry or how we do it in class is we pry her mouth open with our fingertip and she spits them out. That way we don't lose any fry because she swallowed them.
