Hello I got these coral from my fish shop about a month ago. There beginners corals and are doing really well but I wanted to add a few more. I think I have found out what they are but would be really greatful if somebody could confirm it please. I think they are Red mushroom coral...

It's a 300l tank. With 2 blue chromis, 2 clowns, 1 cherub angel, 1 fire fish, 1 white goby, blue legged hermit crab and a sea hare. I might put a few more fish in after I've added corals so in about 6 months. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I set my marine tank up nearly 12 months ago and have various fish however other than a blue legged hermit crab which is pretty much full size and a sea hare and the odd snail that's come with the rock. I have no little critters. I don't want anything that will upset or be attacked by the crab...

Today I brought a beautiful leopard wrasse. In the LFS he buried straight into the sand when they went to catch him. I have acclimatized him and added to the tank and he has gone straight into the sand. That was about 6 hrs ago and he still hasn't made an appearance. How long is it normal for...

I have a little live rock in the sump and that's it, but was considering putting something else in would chaeto be a good option then. Presumably I would need a little light in the sump as well. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

You have a point there. My tank is 77cm deep. I will upgrade the lights in a few months what would you recommend. I'd rather save up Ang get decent ones. I also want a new skimmer as the current one was part of a start up kit and the water isn't as clear as I want ideally. Any suggestions would...

I had an issue with weird algae. I looked into it and brought a sea hare. There ugly creatures although dispite having shrimps, angels, crabs and the like the kids think it's the coolest thing in there. It destroyed all the algae within a few days. I'm new to the marine side so I'm sure experts...

I'm no expert but I added 3 chromis in my new tank after it had matured for 3 months as was new and i kept an eye on all the chemicals etc and added about 3 weeks later. I've now got clowns, goby, angel and some shrimps and crabs and there all happy. I did add some pink antheas but they didn't...

That's great. I'm fine with fish but to be honest corals, polyps, anemone and all that I'm completely new to but there as interesting as the fish and a hobby in themselves. I always thought it was odd anybody who just had tanks full of "plants", but when you investigate them there as complicated...

Thanks for your advice. Am I right in thinking that sps need intense light. I will upgrade my lights but want to save up and get some decent ones. So would I be best to get some lps or the ones you mentioned. What are your thoughts on polpys. I want to start covering the live rock a little so...

No to a reef tank hence why I want to start off with easier stock. I currently have 4 T5's 2 normal and 2 blue. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Hello. I have a 300l tank that's 12 months old. It has a cherub angel, 3 blue chromis, 2 common clowns, a blackeye goby a hermit crab and 2 peppermint shrimp in it as well as a sea hare. I want to put an anemone in, but want one that is fairly easy to keep and the clowns will like. I would like...

I live in coventry in the uk.

I think the underwater world is brilliant. Problem is marine tanks are not that common where I am and people who know what they are talking about ate few and far between.

Yeah it is hard. corals seem harder to choose than the fish. I want something that will keep me interested, that said the LR does that. Ha. But mainly that the kids will find interesting so colours and shapes and the way the feed are important but they also need to be fairly hardy. To many choices.

The bubble coral looks really nice. Do they grow slow and not to big I don't want anything taking over the tank. If I get a few bubbles in different colours. How are you best to place them in the tank? What else have you got. I like some of the mushroom corals too but are not sure.

Ok thanks. Just wanted to check it wasn't going to eat anything it shouldn't!!!

What type though?

Found this crawling in my tank, presumably it came on the LR

That's really helpful. Ill look into them all.

I have a 60g tank. It has a few Fish in namely bangii cardinals, white goby, red anthias, peppermint shrimp and a few blue legged hermits. I'm going to add a few clownfish and maybe a drawf angel over the next few months and in 6 months or so an anemone and a mandarine. I have a pair of 5400...

I've only got 4 t5 lights. 2 blue and 2 normal. I have 2 5400 wave makers
