Thanks everybody. DINHOUSE, that looks just like my tank, exept mine is a lot bigger. But, it has the same shape and same color as mine does. Very nice tank you have, so do you use a refugium?

dallas_tx, you are seeing feather dusters. Maybe lovfish is seeing some sort of sponge?!?!

That is normal. It's just moving around the tank as usual, and will place its foot down when it is ready, just leave it...

Welcome to the BB!The proper name is:Blue polyp sea-fan Here is the care for one: Food: They mostly rely on the photosynthesis of the lighting. They require medium-strong lighting to live long in the aquarium. They will also eat Marine snow, and DT's phytoplakton along with any other plankton...

Look in your other post "what is this growing on my glass" to see my answer. Peperment shrimp, and the copperband butterfly will eat these right up...

Glass anemones and aptasia are the same things :D . Peperment shrimp and some butterfly fish(IE: copperband) eat aptasia. Depends if they are good or bad. If you like them and dont mind there presents, there good, if you hate them and they are a big problem, they are bad. Glass anemones(AKA...

Kinda sounds like a glass anemone or a feather duster. The only thing about the duster is that it is not pink, and doesnt have tenticles all over, it only has tenticles on one part of its body. The glass anemone sounds just like it though. PB tangs are in fact reef safe, but need a big tank...

Demosthenes, that is not a shark. To be shark, you have to answer the questions at the best of your ability, and dont flame to much, etc. Anyway, it doesnt matter how many times you post, you will never get up to shark unless the admin thinks you are good enough for mod. Look at risc, he only...

Seems like you are all set to get a manderine. i highly recomend to take a flashlight, and look at the tank an hour after the lights have been off and look for some pods in the tank. If you see a lot, that is a good sign. ;)

Looks at his/hers eyes. Is there any cloudyness in them? Triggers are kinda crazy sometimes, the one at my LFS just goes up and down the walls of the tank all day, then goes under the rocks to sleep. If it was blind, you would see something in its eyes...

My lfs had a unicorn in for $130.00! It was 8 inches lonh which was cool. And demosthenes, it doesnt matter about how many posts you have to be shark, just how well and corect you are when answering posts. Look at risc, he only has 487 posts, and he is shark. Just wanted to tell you that. :)...

Demosthenes, mandrines are very hard to keep alive since they will rarely eat prepared foods. They eat nothing but pods(copepods, amphipods, etc) and when the pods run out, they just starve. 2 CAN be kept, but in your case, there are not enough pods in the tank to suit 2, maybe not enough to...

Thanks. i feel better now that people are not bashing me for no reason. Now, lets get back to reefs :) ...
