We caught these little fish at Ft Walton Beach. We don't know what they are. These are really cool creatures we found today at Ft Walton Beach. We found them in sargasso weeds that were floating around.

I woke up this morning to find my juvenile snooks with these yellow clumpy thingys on their bodies and tail. No signs of distress noted. We brought them back from FL back in July when they were tiny babies. They've made it this far...I sure would hate to lose them now. They are in a 6 gal...

My puppy fish is in dire straits. Yesterday morning when I turned on the aquarium light, I noticed him hunkered down in a corner and rapidly breathing. I looked him over with my big magnifier and saw white specks on his pectoral fins and on his tail. The rest of his body was normal (and still...

These pics are of the tiny baby fish we brought back from FL two months ago. They were just under a half an inch long at that time. They both are now just over TWO INCHES LONG!!! They are very vigorous eaters!!! They even eat off the fresh shrimp I put in for my dog face puffer!!! (and show no...

Yesterday I noticed a couple of white cocoon- like things in two different spots in my tank. I have no clue what they are. Kinda reminds me of ALIEN!!! Nooooooo!!!!!! I poked them with my poker (lol), and they're very thin and soft. I didn't want to poke too much cuz I didnt want to kill...

Need help finding out what array of fresh/frozen things (lol) to feed my puppy fish. I've been feeding him freeze dried krill...in fact, I can show it to him and he will "play fetch" and hog it down in one bite. He's about 6 inches long so I need something more to feed him. It's like feeding my...

My daughter caught this baby fishie while we were at Ft Walton Beach. He's mostly translucent with a silver head and abdomen. He has a dorsal fin with a black dot on it, and his tail forks. He's a very aggressive little fella and eats like a whale!!! He has grown 1/2 inch in two weeks. Now...

Alrighty!!!! Yes...I have a Nassarius snail that is quite large (quarter-sized), who has been going along his merry way today but in the nude!!! AHH!!! SCARY!!! He's very happy. Has he lost his mind??? Will he go back into his shell...What's wrong with him???

We are on vacation in Florida, and these little "things" are on the shoreline...everywhere!!! At first we thought they were some sort of jelly fish because that's what they feel like but they are oval-shaped blobs. I'm thinking maybe...um...some kinda fish eggs??? I dunno...feeling a little...

What do I do if I'm being harassed on this site?

I brought home a new Damsel yesterday. He's beautiful...white body with bright yellow on top and neon blue bottom fins (? I don't know the appropriate term for the fins). Anyway, the guy at the pet store was...well...let's just say I know more about this hobby than he does, and I'm just 8...

This morning I fed my quarter-sized, short tentacle plate coral. He was eating his tiny bit of shrimp when my Blenny pounded his face and stole his meal!!! Now, there is some tissue missing under the plate coral's mouth...quite a large area for such a small creature. He doesn't "seem"...

My family is headed to Fort Walton in early July. Last year we caught a marine hermit crab and a ghost crab. I have a 2.5 gallon tank that I could cycle...he he he. Do you guys think that if we catch something from the ocean, I could keep it in that tank??? OR...is that asking too much?!?!?!

We got him about three weeks ago, All was fine... tentacles extended. This week we noticed the tentacles had disappeared. Kinda weird. I'm feeding him daily a couple of shrimp balls...he seems to enjoy that. Does anyone know what might have happened to his tentacles...and will they come back...

K guys...this is weird!!! I found what looks like spider webbing in the back right side of my tank. It only spans the length of about 4"x4". I don't see any strange critters running around the tank but I did have a bundle of green button polyps to mysteriously die. Hmmm...any clues??? Perhaps...

Does anyone know how long it takes for a bacterial bloom to clear??? Since my Coco worm died, a white haze has appeared. You can see it actually "blowing" like smoke in the current. Ughhh!!! Is there anything I can do??? I did a water change, and that didn't help. This tank just finished...

This is a nightmare!!! Where did his heads go??? He's gone back into his tube and hasn't come back out since early last night. The water is still hazy. How will I know if he's dead or not before he funks up my tank??? HELP!!!

Basically what happened was I went to dinner and came home to find my main tank slightly cloudy. We figured it was Coco because he hadn't come out in a few days. We took him out, and he came out of the tube!!! Looks like an alien and has no heads/crowns. Had to put him back in his tube. It's so...

I thought my Coco worm was dead until it stuck its ALIEN-LOOKING BODY OUT!!! Plus...the tank is getting cloudy. I did a water change and that's helped but could Coco be funking my tank up...will he grow his crowns back??? OMG...This is awful! N

Crazed Damsel!!! Last night, my electric blue damsel (had him for two weeks) all of a sudden started chasing my blue yellow-tailed damsel (had him for six months now). He was actually biting parts of his body off!!! Dorsal fin...GONE!!! I quickly put him my quarantine tank, and he looks much...

I'm so excited to be a part of this forum!!! I'm new to the hobby, (6 mos now), and there are times when I really need sound advice!!! I have a 6gal Fluval Edge with live rock, lawnmower blenny, blue damsel with yellow tail, sky blue damsel, small clown fish, tiny red starfish, and a CoCo worm...
