My LFS just got in a Diplobatis ommata (bullseye sharkray) and it turns out it was pregnant! So, the mom had 8 babies and I just had to get one. How often are you gonna come across that? So, they were eating brine and mysis in the store. I have not seen mine eat in the tank yet, but I have only...

I know what you are going to say... BUT it was already eating at the store. It munches down on frozen brine shrimp. It looks great. Not skinny, beautiful color. I am just wondering if anyone has any advice as to where to go from here. It is my first and only fish in my new show 55 sump and seems...

My flower anemone has been refusing to eat krill or anything solid for a couple months now. The only thing it will take is phytoplex when I spray it right onto it. Any idea how to get it eating again? Also, my long tentacle has moved behind some rock structure and I cannot get to it to feed it...

I just picked up a 120gl that is factor drilled with 2 bulkhead for $120. Pretty good deal, I thought, the only problem being that it did not come with a stand. I have two options at the moment. A. I know where I could get a 150gl of the same dimensions that has a stand and canopy for $300...

A couple of days ago my Cortez wrasse stopped swimming (which is very strange because it never stops when it is awake) and has been laying under some cover breathing very quickly. I saw it come out and swim for maybe 15 seconds today. It has no exterior signs of illness, although, another fish...

I recently bought a Paddlefin Wrasse (Thalassoma lucasanum) that is still in its juvenile color phase. I was under the impression that these wrasses always changed into the colors of the thick vertical stripes of green-yellow-pink as they got older. With more research I found out that those are...

From the reading I have done and people I have asked, I thought that mixing the smaller Morays would be fine. A guy was breaking down his tank and had a snowflake he was just giving away. So I take it a put it into my tank. Bad Idea. My snowflake, which is probably 4 or 5 times bigger, was...

Was at the LFS yesterday and saw they had a very interesting crab in a tank all by itself. With a little research i found it to be a Shame Face Crab (Calappa granulata). I like oddballs like this but am concerned about its descructive reputation. The guy at the store said it was demolishing...

I just bought a red flower anemone and am wanting to boost its color, if that is at all possible. It has really nice green in the middle when i bought it but it stretched out to full size once i got in my tank and now you can't really see much of the green. Any advice?

I bought some of the stuff from the LFS just because i liked the look of it and wanted some more green in my tank. After a little reading on here, it seems to be a nusiance. My tank is a FOWLR and already has the some feather Caulerpa in it, which has not gotten out of hand. Is the grape going...

White-spotted Hermit Crab (Dardanus megistos) switching into a more comfortable shell in my saltwater tank http://www.youtube.com/user/TheSeano.../0/2vlPRq3kn68

I don't think it is a bristle worm, because i really didn't see any bristles other than around the mouth. It was also more of a flesh color and thinner than pictures of bristle worms i have seen. Any idea? It is in the upper right of the shell in the pictures

I started noticing these little things a few weeks ago and they have begun to spread all over the tank. What are they and are they a problem? Can't figure out how to put pictures up. find them here: http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/sh....php?t=1846239

I recently got an Aquariums Systems protein skimmer from a friend. Initially, it was foaming a lot and I was getting a bunch of the brown-protein stuff but they have considerably decreased. I tried raising the water level and messing with how much air is let in and that helped but it is still...

Anybody have any experience with these. I have always wanted one, just didn't know too much about them. I know it is possible that they can wipe out a tank, but the said the same thing about my cowfish

I already have the cowfish. Its about 3 1/2". I am considering getting a Thalassoma lucasanum to put in the 90gl with the Cowfish but am worried it could be too much excitement for the Cowfish and it could have trouble competing for food, etc. any experience or advice?

Picked one up not too long ago from LFS because they were basically giving it away for $10. It's a little smaller than a baseball. anyone had any experience with these guys? how big they get, any special needs?

I have had a longhorn Cowfish for a couple weeks now in my 90gl. He is about 3-1/2" and the other things in the tank are a Snowflake eel about 1' and a whitespotted hermit crab a little smaller than a baseball. I am trying to figure out what would be good in the tank. I was think a wrasse of...
