Ok last week I lost my smallest red legged hermit crab, little red legs all over the tank. We thought it was the larger Hermit that did it. Well the larger one was found dead, not a shed, and we visiblely can't find his shell anywhere. We recently got two oyster clusters and it is posible...

Paul and I have decided to build a reef while we're waiting for the velvet cysts to die out. If this is ok? To day while I was out I stopped at the LFS and they had something called sea lettuce. I was told that this was good for helping nitrate and Nitrite levels under control and a great...

I noticed last night that our smaller clown is looking sickly, he seemed to be sunk in around his stomach and head. When I fed frozen brine shrimp, he didn't dart after it like the female and gramma. I even tried live baby brine, he seemed like he ate some. I also tried garlic soaked food. He...

I think it's a type of coral it came on one of the feather dusters. [ And this is a hermit of some kind the picture is fuzzy but it has white and brownish vertical stripes on it's legs and dark tips on it's claws. It's about the size of a ping pong ball (shell and crab).
