Ok, so new tank looking great. Up until this morning. And what did I do, but mention how great it's been looking in the morning thread. I will preface this by saying that I've been reefing for a long time and have been through a lot. I'll get through this too, but need to vent. So I went for...

I think that I am going to get a peppermint shrimp to eat my aiptasia, but I wanted to make sure it will not eat anything that I still want in my aquarium. I have some tube worms, a couple baby brittle stars, some sort of filter feeder that looks like a balloon with two holes in it, some feather...

First, how often do these shrimp molt...and what causes them to molt or why do they do it? also, how often do they have eggs... my clowns were estatic last night, sleeping soundly now after a good nights meal... :rotflmao: also, after having the big bad crab rock out of the tank and in the...

:help: Sitting looking at the tank this morning with my Sunday coffee... something moves in a rock... something brown and hairy... a crab I have never seen in my tank!!! Now, for those that don't remember, this is the same live rock that I brought in a cooler with an airstone and battery pump...

Hi everyone, This is my first time on the list so I hope I'm doing this right! I have had an adult green brittle star for months, and now I notice I have HUNDREDS of little baby brittle stars all over my tank, in the live rock and in the crushed coral bottom. I started doing some research and...

I am looking to starting a new 72 gallon tank, but I am not sure what type of sand to use. Any suggestions? Also, how many pounds do you think I would need for a 72 gallon bowfront? I am only looking to cover the bottom with 2-3" of sand. And before anyone asks, yes I want sand. I like...

My heart is breaking as I write this, but the move is on. I have decided that the course to go for me will be to sell most of my livestock, corals and rock, keeping a few of my favorites of each that will be shipped to me later. I still, luckily, have the 29 that I never was able to sell, so...

Okay, I know this is old hat to most of you, but I'm so excited about all the life popping up in the tank. I have pods of some sort skating around the rock, and also skating just under the surface of the water when I feed and have the pumps off. No idea what kind, but very lively little...

Last night, I picked up a rock on mount couple of shroom on it. Underneath the rock, I found a whole bunch of baby brittle stars 6 of them. They're all in different color, black, white, gray, black and white. It's kinda cool. :)

Hello, recently I got a new rock with some zos that have a few small holes about 2mm to 3mm in dia on the surface of the rock. I noticed that something about the size of twice the thickness of human hair comes out of these hole at lighting speed. It appears to acts like a hand to feel for food...
