Hi, I have a fish that I think has Ich. I dipped him in freshwater for 3 minutes. Are the whitespots supposed to fall off the fish during the dip? I'm asking because they didn't... I also have been keeping him in a QT with SG at 1.012 and the spots don't fall off -- is it possible that this is...

One of my fish (mandarin) found his way into my fuge. I've made sure he can't get to the pump but its going to be difficult getting him out so I wanted to wait a while before doing so. My fuge has lights on 24/7. Does anyone know what effect the lighting will have on the fish? I'm assuming...

Yes another post to myself ...

I was thinking about getting live sand from liverocks.com but they don't sell it anymore. I was mostly just interested in seeing what kind of stuff would come (and survive the trip) from the ocean. Has anyone bought sand from them? Was there anything interesting in it? Are there other places...

So I found this worm in my rock today that's pretty big. I was trying to take a picture of it when it suddenly extended out of its hole and trade to grab my anemone. It didn't hold onto it long and went back into its hole. There was a big patch of Xenias beside its hole and now they are all...

I have some sort of worm in my tank that hides in one of the holes in my live rock. It barely comes out so I can't take a picture but it: (1) Looks very large (about 1/2" in thickness) (2) Is multicolored (colors like in an oil slick) (3) Has what look like white/beige spikes sticking out of it...

Has anyone ever had issues with serpent starfish eating soft corals like xenias?

Does anyone know of a good website for getting fish profiles? I looked on yahoo but the websites that it turned up were pretty limited. Thanks, Luke.

I put in a batch of 15 small hermit crabs from garf on Friday. On Saturday I noticed that one of my xenias was thinned out. Today I saw a hermit crab in the xenia ... has anyone had problems with hermits eating their soft corals?

I found a limpet in my fuge ... should I keep it or get rid of it? Its exploring some tupperware at present.

Is this a lettuce nudibranch? I think that it came with my liverock. Its only about 1/2" long and maybe about 1/8-1/4" thick. Also its in my refugium ... it should be ok in there right? I've read that they don't live long in aquariums ... is that true?

I found a very small slug in my refugium that I'm assuming came with the algae on my liverocks.com rock. Its at most 1/2" and is green with purple ends on its antenae. I took some pictures but forgot to put the flash in my camera (d'oh) and now he's wandered off somewhere so its too late. It...

Any ideas on what the white fibrous bump could be? Its right beside the mouth and I think that its new.

I received some live rock today and there were several injured brittle stars in the rock. They were still moving so I'm trying to find a way to keep them alive. For now I put them in my refuge. Is this a good place for them to go? My main tank has hermits so I think that they'll most likely...

liverocks.com umm rocks. i just got my live rock today and it looks really nice. much nicer than anything that i've seen at the 6-7 lfs that i've been to. there were about 10 brittle stars that made it with the rock. the largest being about 7-8" across. they were injured a little bit so i...

I want to add some live rock to an established tank. I don't want to add any mantis shrimp or anything else that will go nuclear in my tank. Any ideas on how to lure that stuff out of the live rock and into my garbage disposal? :) I've seen posts about the carbonated water method but that...

Any recommendations for an auto top off switch? I was looking at: http://www.autotopoff.com/ and http://www.aquadevices.50megs.com/order1.htm Thanks, luke.

i just noticed two crabs that i didn't know that i had. one is living in a sponge infested rock under my rbta. the other one is living between some big rocks. the one under rbta looks like it has whitish legs with maybe light brown strips. the other one is red. both have been illusive so i...

i'm thinking about cutting down on the number of powerheads that i have. i was thinking about getting a stronger pump (ie 3600 gph pump for my 100g tank) from the sump and using that to circulate my water in place of a few powerheads ... i was thinking of making 2-3 return pipes from the sump...

Does anyone know of any goof LFS in Seattle?

Has anyone ever had problems ordering from saltwaterfish.com? I'm thinking about filing a complaint against them. I recently placed an order with them and I didn't receive all of the things on my order. Also I ordered a bottle of strontium and it arrived empty. When I emailed them about it...

I bought caulerpa the other day and there was also this white ball in the calerpa. Any ideas on what it is? I'm hoping its not an egg of some sea monster that will hatch and eat everything in my tank.
