Is there a bulge on its left side just below it's head? I looked at the pic to see if he looked malnourished, and it didn't look quite right to me . Wondering if there was a mass or even hosting some sore of parasite. Sent from my HTC One M9 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I'm not sure if they are attacking the coral or if they are picking at what's left of it ... If I had to guess I would say brittle star Sent from my HTC One M9 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Is this guy attacking or killing my frag, it's defiantly something where I have circled in pic. Guessing type of starfish cause I can see 3 tentacles and they are at least an inch each Sent from my HTC One M9 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Well that's stuffed. I would suggest a 50% water change and then another 50% in a day or 2. Cut feeding from a pinch 3x a day to 3x a week. I'm not sure how often the eel needs to eat. I'm sure somebody will chime in. I am pretty sure it he gets hungry he'll make a snack out of almost...

I hope he means snip the algae it is on rather than the base of the Nem

If I was to guess it almost looks like a bubble tip. It looks the same as my bubble tips. Can u get a pic of the foot? Does it tend to move around much?

I'm saying the possibility is there that they can succumb to the parasite. Given they are stressed to where their immune drops

Extended power outage. That sort of thing

It's quite the debate going on here. I can see both sides of this one. The theory is there that you can achieve a system that has no ich. And that is not a hard concept to achieve. Simply strict qt'ing. The only problem is that you have to also qt all inverts and coral for 8 weeks not...

My leather goes on a 3 day strike if I go to long with a water change. If I see it looking pathetic I know it's past time to do a change. A day or so later it perks right back up. Id check parameters, 10% pwc can't hurt

How big is this tank. ? I would agree to bring it down a tad.

You don't need to keep it running all the time you can put a few chunks of foam in your sump that way they establish a healthy amount of BB and that would keep the cycle on the qt minimal. That being said you can go go hypo or copper treatment. Remember that your fish are in a much more...

Are you using rodi water for changes and top offs?

Here is a better pic of them on a favia frag

I currently have a mass outbreak in my frag tank They are tiny little brown flat snail type organisms. Although they have no shell. Attached is a pic of them on the glass although it's hard to focus. I'll try to take a better pic.

There aren't many fish that will mess with a mandarins. Mandarin fish secrete mucous which might act to repel predators. The intense coloration also might play a role in avoiding predation by signalling to potential predators that they are toxic (Sadovy et al. 2005). Early development could...

Santa is going to check out the Lfs Boxing Day sale. Salt is always on half price and who knows what else we can find;).

Well ill see if it comes around

You mean the candycane coral? I would say the arms are from something underneath the heads can you get a pic from the side of the tank where the powerhead is. You might tell better from that angle

here's a better pic now that the bend are off and I could flip it back over

. Here's a pic.

I went today to pick up a bta. Well turns out I came home with 4 on a coral frag. The guy said 20$ was fine for it. I couldn't turn it down, I'm just wondering what coral I now have

You should be fine till morning. I had to fix my overflow so I shut off pumps and let the water down for 24 hours no prob How long do your fish sit in a bag with no bubbler or anything when they first arrive at your Lfs ?

If you are going to do this I would try to add them all at once. Make sure your bb can handle it, and keep an eye on parameters after. If you get them all at once and put them all in you can be sure that there is only one female.

Apitasia x definatly works. I had about 10 or 12 shoots a few years back. I just kept zapping them with every water change and I haven't seen anything for a few years now
