tiny brittle stars

Hello i just bought my firstever new live rock, i bought it off pet co and it is a WaltSmith Fiji Cultured rock (large). I do not have experience on salt water tanks yet i am barely learning. I have read that when you buy a live rock make sure it smells good, so i smelled it and it smelled...

How do I get rid of it without destroying everything else in my tank. It's a reef nano tank. (Clam, Feather Duster, Pom Pom Corals, and Blenny and Snails).

Ok, I know the pictures are not very good. But they are of a (some kind of bristle worm / star) , and the other one is some kind of snail?? It looks like a single shell from a bi-valve, with a snail underneath it. It moves around the tank quite a bit. Is it possible to tell if they are good...

I'm thinking about getting 1 or 2 of these to decimate the exploding population of tiny stars that seem to be taking my tank over slowly. I've heard they will go after any size starfish, but that is the only thing they eat. I don't want to get something to let them slowly starve to death in my...

My tank is one year old and is going along fairly good, but it’s not the way it was. Ok that doesn't make a lot of sense and I'll try to clarify. People who visit, say that the tank looks great but it is not, in my opinion, as good as it was 4-5 months ago. I just know because of so many hours...

Ok so I have had my tank running with the 80lbs of partially cured LR. I have been running my skimmer almost full time, and running the lights for about 1-2 hours daily. I can still see some dieoff type stuff on the rocks, but the water is becoming clearer everday. So when should I add some...

hi there! i've had a flower anenome for a while, it eats a chunk of scallop about once, sometimes 2 times a week. i recently bought a condalyctus (sorry i prolly spelled it wrong) and it's not really eating...it grabs the food and pulls it to the mouth/belly..whatever it is, the center, but it...

I have Carib Sea crushed coral for a substrate now, would I be better with sand? Should I remove the crushed coral or add sand to it? I vaccum my substrate when I do a weekly water change, I know it removes the detris, but doens't remove the living stuff too? Should I vaccum less frequently...

I talked to Mike at Paragon Aquatics, where I am going to buy some LR soon. He recommended that I replace my 3 inch bed of crushed coral with sand. He said remove it about a third at a time over a few days - then add a base of the Home Depot Southdown sand and top it off with an inch of real...
