Ok so I bought a brittle star, serpant star , sally crab, and a bunch of hermit crabs 3 days ago. I woke up this morning and my sally crab wasnt moving ( dead ) and then later in the afternoon I found my brittle star chopped up in pieaces along my tank floor. My serpant star is still fine doesnt...

Want to be famous? Okay...well probably not like famous, famous, but I'm looking for someone with a full-blown softie tank that is interested in having their tank profiled in a short article on which I am working. I posted this in the soft coral forum as well. Please let me know if you...

HI Everyone! I have a 150 reef tank and I'm having a bit a a algae problem(started another thread about that). This has made me wonder if I have enough guys and girls in my clean up crew? I have about 5 turbo snails and about 5 hermit crab along with a bullet goby and a sand sifting conch. Is...

I just got some new additions to my tanks, and I wanted to see if anyone had any bad experience with any of these being together. Everyone I have spoken too so far has said they "should" be fine, but just wanted to get more input. 1st tank - 6-line wrasse, red spotted Aussie Blenny, 2 paired...

This sucks I just realized I havent seen my blue flasher for several days. I have had him awhile and he is always out. Iam convinced now someone is eating my fish.

Since no one posts on my build thread anymore I thought I would start a new thread for my question. My tank currently looks like this.... My question is, At what point should I add a small clean up crew? I have diatoms everwhere. Can I add a small clean up crew? Will it be safe to add a clean...

I want to get a bunch of sand shifters to clean up my detrious that's buliding up and not making my sand pretty anymore. Nassarius snails I hear are good as well as serpant stars and cucumbers. What would be a good combination of sand shifters and what kind of sand shifters are there? Like how...

I have lost a royal gramma, lawnmower bleeni and my clown. And when i say lost i mean lost. I can not find them. I looked in all the cracks in my rock and they are no where to be found. I am assuming my bubble tip or my banded serpant star ate them because i have no spike in para. I have red and...

Hello everybody, I have a 150 gallon reef tank that has been setup 2-3 months. Recently fish have started to disappear. First a couple chromis disappeared. A few weeks later we got 2 clownfish and a royal gamma. First one of the clowns vanished, a couple days later the other one was suddenly...

HI! It's Connor I got this really cool tank from a friend, but I think I want to rearrange my fish and rocks and stuff. My mom and I are cleaning rock in the basement - she says we are cooking it and when that's done we will start over again with my tank. I want some really colorful...

i just think it's amazing that people say i "need" 50 hermits, and 50 snails for my 50gal.... so how many do you have? your total gallons? right now i have 10 blue legged hermits, about 5 unknown hermits, a peppermint shrip, and no snails. my tank is new so i'll add everything as i need...

well i saw a molt of a shrimpin my tank yesterday and i just left it there for my serpant star to eat which he did. but now i am wondering. I had my hand in the tank last night to put the new sps frags and zoas in but only 1 out of the two shrimps were out and crawling on me. this is odd because...

Hi Everyone! I have a 150 with a 30 gallon sump. I was just wondering how often and how much do you feed your fish? The reason I ask is I had been feeding my fish every 2 days and only what they could eat in a min or so. My wrasse seemed unhappy and his jumping had increased. After posting a...

I have been thinking of getting something that will stir the sand bed and eat debri. but i can not be something that will compete with my mandarin for food. At work in in our 24g aquapod display we have a green mandarin and a serpant star along with others fish/corals. It seems to do a good job...

I am starting to look for a cleanup crew since my tank is almost done. I cant remember when but i was looking for cleanup crews before and came across a website where the company sold nano sized serpant stars and nano sized harlquin stars. They dont get much bigger then 3-4" does anyone know the...

I know it seems kind of odd (at least to me) but my serpent star is sharing space with my jawfish. I can see the tentacles coming right out of the little hole the jawfish dug out. When I saw the tentacles and the hole covered up I figured the jawfish became a meal. But the hole was open this...
