I was looking through my LFS's list today and one thing caught my eye. "Brown Spot Leopard Moray (Gymnothorax kidako) -$40". So what exactly is the difference between this Gymnothorax kidako, and the Kidako Moray (Gymnothorax kikado) that goes for rediculous sums? thanks, Jon

Does anyone know where you can buy sulfur beads in 2-5mm range for use in a sulfur reactor? Jon

I know anthias are generally considered difficult fish to keep, but my LFS had a buy 1 get 1 free deal so I thought Id give it a shot. Anyways, the anthias is swimming nicely near the from glass, mid water and seems to be doing good, but ANY movement around the tank and it darts for cover. I...
