    Hoping for some advice. For a year or so now I have been experiencing a loss of various inverts from corals, star fish, snails and sea hares. This confused me as my parameters have always seemed perfectly in check. Recently some of my fish have been disappearing also. In parallel with the...

    Hello everyone, I have a blue spotted puffer/blue dot toby and was wondering if I could keep a blue hermit crab with it? My puffer is about 3" max and he mainly eats mysis shrimp, pellets, nori and I just recently started giving him krill once a week. A LFS told me they eat crabs and clams. He...

    Hello everyone! So I noticed the other day that my two small Kenya trees that were missing.. After looking for about 20 mins I noticed them moving around my tank inbetween some rocks. Upon a closer look I realized that a rogue hermit crab has decided to take up residence in the giant shell that...

    So I've got 5 hermits in my 10 gallon nano. This weekend I put a shell in there and said "ehh what the heck," because I thought it looked cool. Then the very next morning a hermit was in that one. But now there is this other hermit crab that literally cannot be separated from this new-shelled...

    Hi all - when I first bought the CUC for our tank, I got an itsy bitsy scarlet hermit crab. And man-oh-man, has that thing grown. I have now learned that not only does a hermit crab switch shells, but apparently they also molt (not something I ever gave much thought to before, but obviously...

    This morning we found a very strange little creature - a spaghetti worm! And it was eating a piece of clam. I got a video of it. It was so cool to watch! I love the little surprises that pop up in saltwater tanks. :)

    I came home to see one of our large hermit crab outside its shell dead on our large mushroom coral. Is it possible the coral ate it?

    I really am completely stumped as to why these creatures are dying. It seems that every emerald crab, hermit crab, and snail I put into my tank dies. And they aren't being eaten as I find fully intact bodies. I normally would be quick to blame copper but my anemones are thriving (in fact there...
