I spent last week in Savannah and lucked into staying next door to Exotic Underworlds owned by Jerry Hawkins. Very nice marine tanks with comparable prices to Atlanta LFS. Apparently he is the only remaining salt water supply in town, but he is well stocked with hardware parts as well as some...

I was woundering if anyone here can idenify what these to things are. One of them is translucent and oval shaped and fans out on the side. the second one is a white tubular thing with something red that comes out one end. this one will react to movement by sucking into the tube. Is this a...

When curing LR, what about lights? Are they good, bad, indifferent? Seems like maybe a touch of light, to keep live stuff live, but not too much cuz of algae... Also, how important is it to use RO/DI water when in the curing stages... Heard of FW dipping to get out bristleworms... What do...

All right this week's topic is coral feeding. What exacty do they eat? What don't they eat? With testing done of commercially available foods do we want to feed that stuff to our corals? What do you folks feed your corals? What have you had success with? Let's hear it folks, let's get the...

Wondering if there is anything out there that will eat aiptasia but not mini feather dusters, Ive got a bunch of little aiptasia that are too hard to inject with kalk and would like something to gobble them up, but I really love my population of little dusters, I know that CBs and peppermints...

I have had my LR in the tank for 2 days now. Last night before I turned the lights out I noticed several feather dusters as well as some other unidentified growth growing. My question is, since my tank is cycling with normal readings, will the ammonia spike kill most of these creatures off...

My tank is only 2 months old. My live rock has about 20 little growths of what looks like finger coral. I also had some bristle worms, but my hermits seem to have taken care of them. But what I can't figure out, is what I found today. Its appx. 1/2 inch long with what looks like a white tube...
