    There's a curlicue anemone in my rockwork's arch and I desperatey want to move it without harming or killing it. Problem is, it's found a crevice that's tiny and fitted itself in there. All that shows is tentacles. I've tried to coax it onto a rock and tried a powerhead, even tried to scare it...

    So yesterday I bought a neon dottyback, sight unseen. This is the first time I haven't really researched a fish before I bought it. I ONLY bought it, because my wife was with me, and insisted we bring that fish home, because obviously it's a very pretty fish. I assumed that Orchid Dottybacks...

    Hey, everyone :wavey: just wanted to post a some updates on the well being of a couple of my inverts. Last month I found my banded serpent star in less than stellar condition. Silversides are a big no-no apparently as they can and will bust through the test of the starfish! :eek: he had a...

    hi! so I went to get frag glue at my lfs today and fell in love with the banded pipefish there. Reading online, it says they are expert only. If I bought pods, can I dump the whole live bag in the tank and will they thrive? Has anyone ever bought a bag of live pods and dumped them in once a...

    So, I am getting a head of myself but I am really trying to get my foundation laid. I want to start a reef tank and the problem I see is that everyone keeps talking about building around fish. I don't have any particular fish in mind. I love inverts more than fish actually. Does anyone have any...

    A local reefer gave me this guy today. I have always wanted one... such a cool crab! My worry is from all my reading a lot of people say they do not live very long (>6 months) in an aquarium setting, while a few people have said they had theirs for years. Who has had these successfully? I am...

    Here's my 90 gallon sanctuary tank if you will. All the likestock that you see here have been caught in the fishing nets and would be just tossed aside because they all are of no value to the fishermen. So I made a deal with the 'captain' of one of the banca boats to not just through them aside...
