The one thing that got me into the marine aquarium hobby wast he Nassarius Snail, sometimes better known as a Dog Whelk. I never seen them labeled as that, but they are Dog Whelks according to Wikipedia. Something I always liked to do was to get as many Nassarius Snails as possible for my...

The one thing that got me involved in the marine hobby is the Nasarrius Snail. I enjoyed watching waves of these little fellows emerge from the sand bed to devour fresh meat. If I could manage it, I would have a hundred and fifty in my 120-Gallon and probably be very, very content. Sadly I...

Has anyone heard anything about LiveAquaria's Blue and Yellow Coral Banded Shrimp? When I was first considering a saltwater tank, months ago, I was set on a Coral Banded Shrimp. It wasn't long before I saw they were one of the most dispiritedly safe about animals in the hobby, with some people...

I have diatoms on my sand and some algae and I am looking for either a fish or invert(s) to fix this. I have a 40 gallon tank. I have aragonite sand. I was thinking a yellow prawn goby? Suggestions?

Im looking at adding some new inverts to my system. I was wondering was some of your alls methods of quarantine was for inverts. I was wondering how long, do you dose medicines, what do you feed while quarantining. Thanks in advance

This is the first I've seen this in my tank.. What the heck is it?? Looks very out of the ordinary. Is it good? Is it bad?:bigeek:

So I am in the process of setting up my first reef tank. The tank is going to be 30 gallons (I don't have really anything yet, but I know the tank will be wide and not tall or square shaped). So I want a variety of types of fish in the tank, and here is the stock list I have in mind: FISH: -(1)...

Can anyone identify this? Found it crawling around during a water change. Is it an Asterina Starfish?

So i started my salt water tank a few months ago, I added in 3 blue damsels last week and 1 clown fish the other day. All seem to be healthy. I have a 65 gallon tank. I was wondering what people suggest as another fish to get or maybe an invertebrate. ( i already have some turbo snails, and...

Hi. I'm starting a all invert tank and I need some help. My tank size will be roughly in between 40 gal and 80 gal. I know that's pretty vague, but I just need some suggestions on livestock. I already am going to put in a Pom Pom crab, and snails and hermit crabs:help:

Hey guys, I've had my 38 gal reef tank set up for about 7 months now. Yesterday when doing some work I saw these two eyes peering out at me from a tiny hole in one of my smaller live rocks. I would imagine this guy has been with the rock for a while, and although nothing has gone missing I have...

Exact parameters dont know exct but they are all in the good levels by the color chart -Stocking i had 2 clowns, 1 bird wrasse, 1 dottyback, 1 dwarf lionfish, 1sea serpent star, 4 turbo snails, 1 sally lightfoot crab, only thigs left are the inverts and some sponge that came on the live rock...

There is a section on one of the bases of my hammer coral with something on it and I have no clue what this thing is. It appears to be some sort of invert. There are two small holes with little feelers coming out, and from the center (which seems very much like mouth, opening and closing) keeps...

I'm not sure if this is the right section to post this in, sorry if it's not. The LFS sold me this urchin that is slightly bigger than a pencil eraser. They didn't know the species but sold it to me for 1 dollar. I figured it was too good to pass on.

Does anyone know anything about this crab? http://www.liveaquaria.com/diversden/ItemDisplay.cfm?c=2733+4&ddid=174917

My tank has been up and running for about 6 months now. I have a 29 biocube and recently upgraded to the intank media baskets in chamber 2. I did not realize how fast the filter floss gets dirty and I believe that is how I got my red slime outbreak. My lfs suggested refresh by dr aquatics and it...

Hi, it seems like everybody is really down on crabs, but I love them and am looking for some unique reef-safe varieties. I already have 3 emerald crabs and a porcelain crab in my 155g tank and I'm looking at adding pom-poms, strawberry crabs, and anemone crabs. I know that crabs are...

I will be setting up an invert tank with feather dusters and coco worms as a focus. I also want shrimp, snails, nudibranches, and anenomies. My question is compatability. What can I have of the above that will not prey upon each other? I will have swimmers, but only as allowed by the above...
