    I have a reef tank with some crustaceans, snails and coral. I have had a wandering clam that hitchhiked on a piece of coral for some time now, probably about three or four months. It is about the size of a pinkie finger nail and usually stays in the same spot for a few weeks then moves around...

    Hello, I'd love to get one of the prognathodes butterfly fish because of their small size (how big is the smallest and the biggest of these butterflies?) I've always enjoyed the look of the butterflyfish, but really don't want too many fish that grow over 4" in my tank. I have a 72 gallon...

    Hello! I've been looking into leopard wrasses for quite some time and just tonight discovered the false leopard wrasse. I've never heard of them before and after doing a quick search wasn't able to find much on them. I do love all the leopards, but was thinking of getting a Choat's or Kuiter's...

    Hey, I'm looking into buying a blotched anthia and wanted to ask how everyone feels about keeping them? They seem to be pretty hardy and somewhat easy to care for if healthy when purchased. Anyone have any info otherwise or can agree? Thanks :)

    This is my first post, I've used the form for years and finally decided to post. Clown tangs are one of my favorite fish, but as many of you know they are very difficult to keep. Over the last year I decided to give them a try and I think I can provide some really helpful info on how to keep...

    Hey! I thought a read a while back that feeding your tang romaine lettuce was fine, but I just want to make sure before I feed it to my fish. :) Thanks!

    Can anyone give some ideas of cool out of the ordinary corals. I don't want anything that I have to target feed, but they don't have to be the easiest corals either. I saw this cool gorgonian at a new fish store that is opening up around me and thought it was so cool. I have seen other...

    Does anyone have any experience in caring for this coral? Live Aquaria is selling it, but I can't seem to find anything else on it?

    Well I have a little planted tank going (10 gallons) and right now, and it's housing: - A pipefish (not sure of the exact species, although it's one of the smaller ones :o) - Flounder - X-ray tetra -Siamese algae eater (will move to my other tank once it grows a bit more) - Guppy -Cloud minnow...

    So, I've had this starfish for about 2 weeks now without any problems what-so-ever. Today I look at the star cruising along some rocks and it looks completely fine, come back maybe 5 hours later and it has these little white blotches (scar looking areas) all over its arms. It almost looks like...

    Is there any difference between a ricordea and a rhodactis or are they the same thing? Are there 3 types if mushrooms?
  13. Anemones
    Hi everyone! I was just got me a nice green bubble tip anemone! And it looks great! I was just wondering if anyone had any are tips that they would like to share. I have some shrimp I think to feed it every week, and that's all I got. I'm not too worried about my clownfish going to it, I can...

    Sorry if this seems like an absolutely stupid question :o I've just been feeding my scallop lately and have not been able to tell if it's actually eating or not. I tried searching around the internet, but didn't have all that much success so thought I'd ask... If anyone has kept one and can let...
  15. Clams
    I took a trip to the lfs today I returned with a flame scallop which I've done a little research on in the past, but hadn't got too in depth with so I thought I'd just make sure that I do everything right and wanted to see if anyone had any experience keeping these cool little guys. :) Because...
  16. Anemones
    I have two RBTAs in my tank (the second being the clone of the original) and have been wanting to add another nem for quite some time. I've decided that if I were to add another anemone to the tank I'd either want a magnificent/ritteri or a carpet, but they are so different from one another and...

    Hello, I literally just got home with my new yellow tail blue fish damsel and and left it in the bag to aclimate. Im not sure if i should be concerned with it because it isnt moving around the bag too much because the two clowns i have are moving around quite freequently. Tips or suggestions...

    What is the care of anthelia? I have looked them up and they are marked as difficult. Why is that? Any one with experience is welcome to pitch in. :blob:
  20. Reef Fish
    I've been interested in one of these fish for quite a while and although I've read they're "reef safe with caution" I can't get any info as to why. What corals are they not safe with and if you've kept one what is your experience keeping them?
