I have a small problem. I bought a zoo frag at my LFS for a good price, but my hermit crab keeps knocking it out of the spot i'm putting it in. Is there any way to glue it?

Look's like it's time for CUC. Ammonia, nitrite and nitrate are all at 0, PH 8.2. I see a lot of hair algae of all glass, but nothing much on rocks and sand. So I should add snails for now, then fish, after sand and rocks will get dirty I'm gonna add hermit and shrimp?

Look's like hurricane didn't do much damage. We had a power loss for about 20 min.

As of right now, ammonia, nitrate and nitrites are all at 0. Thanks for your help everyone!!! Will update once I'll get CUC next week.

I will pick up a CUC next week. Unless this hurricane messes up power line and we won't have power for few days.

You need to add CUC (clean up crew). Like snails, hermit crabs and shrimps.

While on topic, what are some easy, good looking and not expensive corals?
