I have three thermometers... one digital two of the normal kind, and all three show slightly different temps. Is there any way to figure out which one is right?

So I just got a job working at my LFS which brings all kinds of new questions with it. Are most of the smaller inverts safe to pick up with your hands? I'm thinking along the lines of emerald, porcelain, and pom pom crabs. I certainly wouldnt try to snatch a pistol shrimp with my hands, but...

I got two different coral hitchhikers on some uncured gulf live rock I bought. When i first got them, they were nothing but white skeleton, but after a week or so I started noticing they were coming back! Here is the first one shortly after I noticed. And here is a picture of it today...

Went to one of the crappier of the LFS stores around here today. It's like 5 minutes from my house so when I can't make it to premium aquatics or inland aquatics (both freaking awesome) I go here. Usually I don't end up buying much because they sales people aren't very helpful or knowledgeable...

Is that what this is? Tank is about 6 months old and this just started showing up a couple days ago. Anyone have tips for taking care of it? I use RO water and don't believe I am over feeding.

Here are two corals I got on some gulf live rock. When I got the rock shipped to me, it was just wrapped in wet paper towel and the corals looked completely dead, but after about a week they started coming back. Anyone know what either of them are?

Hello sirs and ladies, I have just finished my cycle and I am wanting to add a school of blue chromis to my tank. I have two questions... My tank is new and using a lot of old dryed out rock from a previous tank. I am wanting as much life as possible to spread from the new live rock i bought...

First a little backgroung... About a year ago, i moved to a new house. My tank was about half a year old when i moved it and after the move i was attacked viciously by hair algae. EVERYTHING in the tank was covered in algae and I could berely even see the rocks. This developed for about 3 months...
