We have a 55 gallon tank with about 65 lbs. of rock, 2 oscellaris clowns, a skunk cleaner shrimp, 2 mexican snails and about 50 cerith and nassarius snails. We always look at your forums for information about our tank and we hope you can give us some advice! We recently purchased 2 Black Brittle...

I have in a new rock what I believe are a few ginormous brittle starfish. They look and act similar to the baby brittles but are much bigger. So far I have only seen legs filter feeding, but how will I know when it becomes a problem? (like BEFORE it eats one of my fish)!

I had 4 large snails and in the past 2 days 3 of them wound up dead and empty, as far as i know i have nothing that will kill snails, I have the following 2 false percula 1 yellow tang 1 6 line wrasse 1 regal tang 1 sabae anemone 1 large black brittle star 1 tree coral 2 zenia 1 large colony...

hey thought I'd post a pic of my tank after the big move.

Well, based on replies from another thread, a clam is out on my 24g aquapod DSB with 70w MH, so.... Looking to the stars :D . Just want to know if there are any stars that are reef friendly? As always, all of your help is greatly appreciated.

i have my eye on a black brittle starfish. i know my tank is still new and im willing to wait for this starfish, but how old should a tank be before i add one? my tank is 55g, 5 weeks old amonia 0 nitrite 0 nitrate 10ppm, im deteremined to get this down to zero. ive been doing bi-weekly 10%...

The tank in the middle will have clowns and anemones. I need to know what would be the best. I want to get white striped maroons but I don't know if they go in the giant carpets. I want to get 2 of them and 2 sets of different species of clowns at same time. Maroons are my favorite but I am not...

Sorry I don;t have a pic to help but... I just placed some new live rock in my tank and just noticed what can best be described as a "gray caterpillar" about 1/2 inch long crawling around. Does anyone know if this is a bristleworm or possibly some sort of sea cucumber? Thanks a lot

I bought a pepermint shrimp from Greg on Saturday. He was looking good the few times I checked on him. Then the last time I checked on him I noticed that my starfish had a hold of him. Well for some reason pepermint shrimp don't last very long in my tank. I would like one, but I don't know...

Things are moving along great in my 90g that I recently set up. It's been almost a month, and so far no cycle. The tank is loaded with living things that came on the rock. Tonight I saw a small Brittle star. He was very fun to watch. Anywhere you look in the tank you can see ton's of Pods. One...

I have a 20L tank that is set up to be a salt marsh. It has a beach on one end for the fiddler crabs (male/female pair), and has about 10 gal of water (5-6# live rock). Inhabitants include a small green chromis, fiddlers, hermits, astraea snails, and an unidentified greenish filtering crab...

I'm currently cycling my new tank with some uncured live rock. The cycle is almost complete and I'm trying to decide what cleanup crew is best. I'm planning on a few different species of snails but will they clean the rockwork as well as the glass? I have been siphoning out most of the detritus...

my green brittle star is not hanging around under rocks instead he is hanging on top of rocks and moving around the tank a lot during the day. I did just check my calcium and it was pretty low could this have been the cause of the wierd behavior?

Hey all... I was thinking about my stocking plans for the 65g...and I am torn between a couple of different fish.....here is my delima. I like the following fish very much, but they may have problems with each other..... 1. Bi-Color Blenny.....hider, semi-aggressive vs similar fish. 2. Royal...

Just thought I'd share pics of my Nanos before they go away. The 20 gallon will be merged into a 75 gallon. The office nano (11 gallon Via Aqua) will stay as is. David
