I was a little suprised to find this worm like creature in my tank today. He looks to be about 1 to 2 inches long. Any ideas on the name would be great. I hope its not a pest because i no longer know where he is. Thanks in advance

Just picked this up this afternoon. The guy at the LFS said it was a dersa but I am not so sure he is right. I tried to get a picture of the mantel and shell. Any input is much appreciated.

First ID needed is for the small, star shaped brownish polyps. These seem to be spreading at an accelerated pace. Second is the dark green almost black bubble algae. Care or removal Info is appreciated for both. Thanks in advance...

I found this weird looking blob on my rock this morning. It is hard to describe but my best explanation is it apart to be rather thin, its shape changes drastically as it moves but generally round, and as it moves it contours itself to the shape of the rock. I hope the attached picture can...

I am in the process of upgrading my 40 gallon tank to a 90 gallon glass. I have already purchased the 90 gallon with a corner overflow. The corner overflow has 1 1/2" and 1 1/4" bulkheads. What should my flow rate be and do I have any constraints due to the bulhead size. I was thinking a...

I have a blue tang that nips at my brain coral. The brain corals only opens up when I put a plastic bowl with many holes over him. I have caught the Tang in the act and then subsequently watched the brain close up. This plastic bowl in my tank is a real eyesore and think my only solution is...

I have had this green star polyp colony for about 6 months. If you look at the picture attached(hopefully) you can see a few large polyps and lots of little ones. The large polyps are from the original colony I purchased and the smaller ones are new growth of the colony. I was away for a...

I purchased a torch coral about a month ago. It seems to be doing fine. Its polyps are fully extended all day long, at night it seems to bring them in. I was just wondering if the torch needs to be supplementally fed from time to time. My tank is 30g and I have 2x 65w PCs. If so, what to...

I have had the AquaC Remora HOB PS with the Maxijet 1200 for 2 weeks and it is still returning lots of microbubbles into my tank. Is there anything I can do for this?

I added a AquaC Remora PS to my tank and my PH went from 8.2 to 8.6 in a week. Besides a water change, do I need to add a PH buffer? Is the protein skimmer the cause of this sudden change in PH?

I just installed my Aqua C Remora PS and was wondering if I still need to direct my PH flow towards the surface to create agitation for airation(SP?).

I just purchased a cleaner shrimp 3 days ago and as of this morning, I don't think he will make it through the day. I brought him home on Friday night and did a 45 minute drip acclimation before he was added to the tank. He seemed to be doing alright but on Sunday morning I noticed he had...
