    Well, I've got a 55g tank sitting empty on a stand, but since I've never kept saltwater fish before, I thought I'd invest minimal cash at the outset and see how things go and try out some ideas before I go whole hog and buy the gear for the 55 and do up a sump, etc. So, I decided to throw my...

    What are the main differences between the red-legged and blue-legged hermits? I have heard opinions both ways as to which ones are better for a reef tank.

    I was just wondering whether i should get any blue leg hermits for my 75 gallon. the reason i am being hesitant is because i have never had any hermits before and have read peoples posts about them terrorizing systems and eating corals. I only have snails (a variety of species) that have been...

    After I fed with Phyto last night, I developed a theory. The polyps on both my Devil's Hand and Fiji Yellow were out in full. As soon as I dosed the tank, the polyps on both pulled in completely. I'm wondering if full polyp extension is only observed when the corals are "hungry" or should I say...
