These lions are endemic to hawaii only... hehe I live there fortunatly... Well I did some digging, and found that these fish are seen rarely in trade... Sphex lionfihes are from hawaii and hawaii only... even here at almost all LFSs they come in at about a half inch. at run for $80 to a $125 at...

I don;t know bout mixing groupers with tusk... I'm begining to see the fighting... and i know for a fact my peacock grouper is scared straight of my tusk... hes always watching for a clearing when my tusk is swiming about... lol but if i had a choice i would go with a minatus... though bluelines...

I absolutly love my tusk too! It is a bit nervous feeding him though... but they are such a passive fish, nothing bugs them, and they bug nothing... unfortuante for me though... after the tusj had been in my tank for about 3 months, I decided to add a grouper... peacock grouper to be exact...

I'd hav to agree, it would seem that it was simply not your fault but rather the stress put on him from shipment to LFS and from LFS to your house. I had a very similar spute but with a dragonette insead... very likely due to mulitple stressfull situations during transfer, and or unhealthy.

Sorry bout the statement i said earlier, i guess i just lucked out, my shrimp lived happily for months, until my harlequin got to it. the only invert that got hit was a tiny cowrie that was impossible for me to get to, but i do have to agree with what yo usaid above. in order to completely get...

Hi, well I'd like to switch to a sump/ fuge for my 30 gal. I've noticed a slight but noticable temp change with my 350 canister. I've checked temp with out running it and it drops 2 +/- degrees. I've always wanted a fuge system but sump based. Any good suggestions I should look into?

I'd have to agree with Nicetry, go with the hypo dip, its pretty cheap fast and effective, though you should get a QT for after treatment purposes. Either that or treat with a invert friendly chem, mardel coppersafe works pretty good IMO.

mine was a hitchhicker, came with my tank... by observation, they find a hole, stay there and only come out a lito bit to eat, other than that all you hear is there snapping!

mine turned white too, but age was no factor, my harlequin tusk was! lol

yups its your lobster, I've got a tiny slipper lobster in my 30, and hes killed and eaten one of my scarlet cleaner shrimps, and one of my goat fishes. So knowing that Simply feed him a half a shrimp or so, he takes it happily! Unless you feed him directly, theres simply not enough food that...
