Hello, my name is Walter, and this is the story of my tank! My tank formerly belonged to a 9 year old, which is why it was in such horrible shape. We recieved a phone call one day from the previous owners, saying that they were moving to texas and were offering us their tank. The next day, we...

I have a crocea clam that is attached to a rock with the little threads on the bottom side of the clam. Is it ok to move the clam (aka break the threads) ? Or is it bad to break the threads? I do not need to move the clam, but it would be better for my tank if I could.

Does anyone know anything about the Fissured Nudibranch? My lfs supposedly orderded a velvet nudibranch (I wanted this so that I could rid my tank of flatworms, see the thread "Strange SeaSlug Infestation!!!"). My dad went to the store to pick it up and brought home two little guys that looked...

About a day ago (10/13/04) I was looking at my tank up close, and I noticed these little brown creatures moving very slow along my rocks and along the back glass. There are about 150 of these little guys just everywhere! I am really freaking out. Here is a picture that I took of them...

I have a nice sized green stap poly colony and I just noticed a little piece of black sponge about the size of a quarter growing aver my colony! Will it take over? How do you remove a sponge?!? I hope that it will just die but I really dont think that will happen. [/img]

I am sorry that I could not get a picture of these little guys but they are just too small. I am trying to identify little white creatures that are attached to the algae. Some times they will move a little on the glass, but most of the time they will stay stationary. They are only on the...

3 days ago I bought a pin point leather toadstool from a very good lfs. I brought it home, put it into my tank, and the next day it was open, aka the little pins were sticking out. It opened the day after that also, but then that night, I added aragamilk for my clam. Today it hasnt even started...

What kind of goby will work together with a pistol shrimp? The shrimp digs a hole for the goby to live in and the goby watches for predators because the shrimp is blind. Can anyone tell me the species of goby and shrimp (if I'm wrong about pistol shrimp) that would do this? thanks walter

Ok.. Has anybody ever had a Fridmani Pseudochromis? I am wondering if they really do eat bristle worms regularly. I am thinking of purchasing one soon (if they eat bristle worms!). Thanks Walter

1.)When I look at the sand on the side of the tank, I see small spots that are colored red, blueish, and green. What causes these and can they be removed? 2.)My nitrates have been rather high ( 20 - 30 mg/L ). Is the only way to lower these by changing water? What would you recommend? I...
