I have these two little worm-things on my live rock. They're about 1 1/2 inches long as far as I can tell, they have black and white stripes, and when they come out, they telescope their mouths in and out of their bodies, and there are hand-like tentacles on the end of their mouths

Solutions? How can I fix this problem?

I have live sand in the bottom of my tank with four damsels and two turbo snails, and lately a black film-type thing has been spreading on the sand. It covers a patch and when I try to remove it it takes a clump with it and breaks up in the water. Strands of it also extend upwards. It doesn't...

The water is between 79-82 degrees Fahrenheit, I'm not certain what the pH and ammonia levels are, I had them tested at Curious Creatures and was told they are "normal". She has been in the tank for about 3 weeks.

Is there anything I can do to mate them successfully? Would it be wise to get more than two to better the chances of...

Thank you very much for all your advice so far. It's been a great help. Would it be a good idea to get more than two to better the chances of getting a mating pair, or would this make them unhappy? Thank you again.

The damsels have been in the tank for between a week and 10 days. Will any clown pair I get mate? I have seen tanks with terra cotta pots used as housing for clowns. Is this a good idea?

I have a 29 gallon saltwater tank which has been cycling for about 4-5 weeks. I have four healthy damsels and two healthy turbo snails. I have had my water tested with good results. Would it be appropriate to add clownfish? Should I get a mated pair? How can I tell a healthy clownfish from an...
