I purchased a small blue hippo tang this weekend (aka 'dory' to my 2 yo). Within 5 mintues of introducing her into the tank, after acclimating etc, my red lipped blenny went after her! I thought maybe it was just an intial rude 'hello and welcome to the neighborhood', but for the next hour every...

correct-0. color is okay. still curious if its normal for a shrivled up tentacle or two? are they even called tentacles?

yep, he eats the silversides everytime i feed him. I have a 2 cleaner shrimp, about 15 or so blue legg hermits, 2 clowns and a blenny. I dont think any of them are picking on him. there is also a small 'bubble' on him, in between some of the tentacles. not sure if thats just the sand he is on...

bump, anyone?

oh and i forgot to mention i have MH lights.

I've had a sebae for a little over a month now. After a few days getting it home from the LFS it changed from white to the brownish/tan that its supposed to be. It has since settled nicely into a spot and not moved for a few weeks. I've been feeding it chopped up silversides 2 times a week. 80...

Im thinking about getting a Lemon Peel Angel and wanted to hear thoughts on if it is reef safe and will play nice in my existing tank. I have 80 gal tank with about 60lb of live rock and: 2 cleaner shrimp 1 Blennie 2 false per clowns 1 sebea 4 mushroom color 1 green favia coral 1 brown zoo

not exactly sure what you mean by 'functional' but I have live sand as my sand bed. i have about 10 turbo snails and 15 or so blue legg hermits. the snails are always on the glass though so my intention in geting the starfish and the goby was for something to keep my sand bed nice and...

thanks O. will keep an eye out on the white spots. i guess i'll have to get that diamond goby to clean my sand then!

yeah ive adjusted that pipe in the return tube plenty - it got rid of the 'toilet' sound that i had when i first set it up. now my main prob is that the water levels are constantly in flux.

Just read this old thread... Seriously, put a picture of a clown hosting an anemone on the tank?? I have 2 false percs and a sebae, they have not hosted yet, nor do they seem interested. I've had the sebae for a month. I guess I'll try the picture thing - anyone else heard of this working?

Hoping someone here can give me some advice on this problem I cant seem to solve. Its driving me CRAZY! Background: I bought a used 80 gal bowfront tank from my LFS that they had up on consignment for a pretty good deal about 2 months ago. I'm not 100% sure of what brand all the equipment is but...

Yes, I do think it is a Fromia after looking at some more picts on the web. My SG is 1.025 trite, trates, amon are all 0. As of last night, the star is off the tank glass on has taken to some live rock. However, the main reason I got him was so that he could keep my sand nice. I also have about...

I just purchased a small sand sifter star, at least thats what my LFS guy told me he was. He is much smaller than the blue linkia and is a redish/purple color. I acclimated him for 2 hours and appears to be doing fine. My question is - since hes been in the tank, he has been on the tank glass...

sweetreef what type of goby is that, the multi colored one? and is he reef safe with shrimp? and what kinds of crab is that with all the colors too?

Can carbon hurt your filtration in anyway? I have a wet dry with media trays and I am debating getting some carbon. I have a small breakout of red slime agae and wondering if this will help at all, or provide an other benefits.

Just posted this on the Clownfish board, but ive since been doing further investigating on the web and many people say that its likely that my clown has some sort of internal infection. Last night I noticed a long stringy white substance comign from one of my clowns. Is this definetly something...

ok thanks. i dont have a hospital/QT set up, but if it goes away and i dont notice it again i am assuming he/she will be fine. Or do you think this will recurr if not treated?

hi last night i noticed a long white stringy-like thing coming from the bottom of one of my clowns (i have 2). i did a 50% water change yesterday, so im not sure if thats just a coincidence or not. this morning the 'string' has disappeared. anything to be worried about? what the heck was it...

thanks everyone for the input. although it does make me a little nervous about sticking my hand in there when i need to move some rock around. has anyone know of, or heard of anyone getting bit by a foxface and actually dying or going to the hospital, anything of that nature?
