So last weekend I picked up three new pieces of live rock. Each was fascinating with new creatures and life. Each of the three pieces also had an odd "pod" on it. I didn't think anything of it and I placed the rocks in the tank. Today I walked up to the tank and one of the rocks had slipped...

There is a crustacean that came with my cheato it is similar in size to an amphipod but it has 2 distinct black eyes and the tail looks forked. It swims just like most amphipods. It swims with lots of legs and has a shell like a pod. I've raised pods for years tried many different types but this...

Not sure if this is an early stage of bubble algae or what. Small white pods with a conical opening on the top When I first saw it I thought it was some brine shrimp that got stuck to the coralline algae on the LR, but if that were the case it would have completely decomposed by now. Picture...

So after many inquires and a lot of information flying around. I decided to finally build a large pod farm. I have raised pods successfully before and I want to use my knowledge to build a bigger, better, and more successful setup. This can be used to help maintain a Mandarin, Seahorses, Or...

I was planning on adding a Mandarin to my 44 gal in the upcoming weeks and have begun seeding my tank with pods as I know that having a large colony in my tank is key to keeping the mandarin healthy and fed. My questions is how long should I continue to add the pod pouches...

Hi I'm just looking to pull some thoughts on what EXACTLY this guy is i have pictured. Not the dead or dying amphipod to the left. but the segmented creature. He's got such a strange face, I've seen a picture of this creature's head before but I don't know where, when or why. If you think he's...

Hey everyone. My 100 gallon long tank has been up and running for a little over two months and is coming along very nicely. My primary focus on this tank is to keep two red mandarin dragonets healthy and happy. I seeded the tank with pods about a week ago and and have no natural predators in...

My parents brought this live rock to me from Puerto Rico, and I found this, but I have no idea what it is.

Hello TRT, to my surprise i found yet another invert in my fuge today. So far i've found a small brittle star, a yellow slug, and now there are some worm/centipede looking things on the glass. I thought they were pods at first bc i heard that they look like centipedes but these are rather large...

Hey guys! I've been having some problems with my tank recently. It started with getting a zoa frag. I put it my aquarium and it dosent open.. ever So I check and find a pest snail on it, so I take it out. Still nothing, so I gave a freshwater dip to the rock it was on... nothing. I move it out...

I was lurking around in my refug tonight and man do I have millions of pods, but then i saw this thing stuck to the side I have never seen before. I got some pics but it's pretty small (1/16). I can actually see a bell shape in the pics that I cant see in person. It is shaped like a badminten...

Hey! So the tank I have is a 29 bow-front with 30pds live rock and lots of types of corals. I dont have a refugium, but I have a skimmer. My water quality is good but the surface of the water always seems to get slimmy looking. So I do water changes once a week try to prevent it. Truth is...

Sup, for some odd reason, my skimmer stoped skiming. Its a Prizme and this is the only time it does that. when I went to check, water was flowing and air was being sucked in creating bubbles but not enought for a nice dry foam. So I raised the air intake, nothing. The probleme might reside...
