Thank you for the advice joy13. I'm happy to report that blenny is now eating and swimming normally, and the aiptasia has been eliminated! Going to get some peppermint shrimp to help avoid further issues.

Suspected aiptasia in the centre of picture

Hello all, Ive just noticed what I think is aiptasia growing in the rock that the blenny spent all it's time in and wondered whether a sting from this could have been the cause of its "paralysis". the pink/brownish suspected aiptasia is actually in the exact crevice the blenny would sit so...

Im fairly new to this and unfortunately I don't have a sump or qt tank yet. Hopefully the breeder net in the corner of the tank will suffice. I got back today he was resting on the live rock I put in the breeder net and looked as tho he had straightened out a bit. Unfortunately when he tried...

Noticed one of my rocks had moved and wondered if it could have injured the Benny? It is still curled round and unable to swim. Could a rock falling on him of paraylsed him?

Help. I returned home to bind my bi-colour blenny at the bottom of the tank, alive but curled round and it appears un able to straighten up or swim. It looks like it is trying to swim but can't and is becoming a little distressed. It also isn't getting any food when I feed the tank. Could it...

Hey guys, Thank you for your input. Thought I'd update you all. Eventually I managed to catch the "basslet" after a frustrating game of cat and mouse! Had to keep it in a temporary holding unit (bucket, tank water, live rock and old heater and pump) until this morning! Supplier I bought it...

IV just added a small bicolour dotty back to my 180L tank and the strawberry basslet (twice it's size) has attacked it. The DB hides but the basslet keeps finding him and attacking like it is hunting it? I have tried to interrupt the attacks but the dotty back is now missing 3/4 of it's tail...

Oh good I'm glad I don't have to worry bout him eating the corals. He is bar far the most active of my CUC and very interesting to watch strutting around in bigger and bigger shells so glad I don't have to get rid of him Thank you very much for the ID and advice.

Hi all, I'm new to the forum (and marine aquariums) but i've been getting lots of useful advice from your threads over the last two months whilst iv been setting up my first tank and now I've decided to join. I have a crab in by tank which I was told to be a Algea crab ( picture below). Is...
