    Any ideas on what one can feed these guys? Or if they will even eat like that? I have had one know for about 10 months and in the last few weeks to few months he has shrunk to about half his size. Plus his legs are much thinner. Now about 4-5" across I assume it is from lack of food as...

    My LR is infested we just happened to change the water because the nitrate spiked. We saw one then we saw several. We decided to take out the piece of LR they were hiding in and you would not believe what came out and what we tweezed out and what just flushed out under cold fresh water. All...

    I saw a skinny red worm with white spines? He was making his way out of my new hammer coral and then retracted after ten seconds. He was pretty small, maybe 1"-1.5", but I couldn't see his whole body. Seeing as how he was in my hammer, I'm under the impression that he isn't only there for...

    Long story short - i've come down to a 10gal FOWLR for my black and white clownfish pair (I know, it's an addiction that i've been able to control, but not kick). As far as fish go, I know i'm stocked, and i don't want to push it because i'm going to be skimmerless. So I've decided I want to...
