I just purchased a sleeper banded goby yesterday. He was an awesome fish and nice and fat. I acclimated him for close to an hour and then fresh water dipped him in RO. I then added him to my DT and he bolted somewhere to hide. He has not so much as poked his head out since and no trace of him at...

Hello all, I have had a really nice blue zebra striped short tenticle plate coral for about 6 months, it was doing great and very healthy until my dragon goby decided to try to bury it every day and I had to blow the sand off with a coral feeder. I have since moved the plate coral to another...

Hello to all, I am a newbie to the reef tank in all aspects. This is my first saltwater tank and I am hooked. I think the last fish tank i had was when i was 10 and i never took care of it. Good thing I went straight to a semi-big complicated tank. But everything has been going so easy and...

Getting Out of the Hobby Sale! - Added Photo Regrettably, this is the second time within my life I have decided to get out of the hobby. We have young children and are looking to do more traveling for longer durations soon and tank maintenance has the best of me . This weekend I decided to make...

Anyone have one of these guys? I bought this guy today. I couldn't find to much info on them This pic is at the store I'll be bringing him home tomorrow

Was looking around and saw this pic of a goby that a guy is trying to ID... I am totally stumped, any thoughts. he says it will swim to the top of the tank and eat out of his hand or even try to eat his hand.

My biggest concern are the tangs. Yes? No? Maybe? I see a lot of people do it. However, a 90 gallon is still just a 4 foot tank. I would love to have a blue tang and Powder Blue Tang. I have: 1 Ocellaris Clownfish (Amphiprion ocellaris) 3 Green Chromis (Chromis viridis) 1 Six Line Wrasse...

We recently purchased a Coris Wrasse (what our LFS called it anyway) about a month ago from a LFS we go to on a very regular basis. We've become friends with the manager of this LFS and have not had any problems with them selling us things that "shouldn't" be in our tank. This fish is...

I was just sitting infront of my tank and all of a sudden my lawnmower blenny "Lenny" came out to say hi. I had my camera sitting right next to me so i was able to catch this pic while he did his thing. I tried catching more pics of him but he was like try to catch me now type thing and...
