wow you guys made me think twice on that one. Good thing I do not have any clams in my tank. They seem cool.

I have 5 in my tank, they are cool to watch and easy to spot. They are a keeper and are reef safe.

I agree, but there is still algae in the tank, just not nearly as much as before.

I apologize ahead of time as this is a topic that get's brought up day after day. I did a search already on what kits everyone likes. Tha majority is salifert test kits. My question is that I have a Wardley master test kit and everything comes up well-> good for parameters. Is it possibly...

my abalone died..... Damn. I think something is going on. I think I need a new test kit.. Maybe all is not well in my atlantis

Damsel- It looks better. It does not appear to be coming back right away. I have my lights off except for about 1 hour per day. My emerald green is dancing weird and jumping on his back, I think he is either molting or dying. I am hoping for the former. There are tufts floating around of hair...

JRX7- Not sure where you are in NY but if you are downtown or in the 5 boroughs, there is a great place in NJ that is an easy drive from Manhatten. Travel over into NJ, either bridge will do, when you get to Newark, find your way onto RT 22 south. On this road there are 3 saltwater shops. I have...

VKESUyou are correct they are sponges. The colored things that look like egg casings are sponges. They are nothing to worry about. As for the tentacles that come out, I think that there are just some of those worm things (I forgot the name) in or around the sponges, but they are most likely two...

Turkey baster will work well, suck them out and put them in the main tank. After a while they sucj propagate to the main tank, but this will facilitate the transfer.

Thanks Jess and everyone else... My crew is just not cutting it. Yesterday I took out all of the rocks and scrubbed everyone down with a tooth brush, then I rinsed the rocks with fresh saltwater, and put them back in. It looks much better. But I am afraid it will grow back. I have one emerald...

Anyone know the best and most efficeint way to remove Green Hair Algae off of live rock in a tank? I can remove the rock from the tank if need be...... Please help!!!

you could of had some type of spawning going on. Maybe some critter in the tank released it's egg's/sperm. This is not a bad thing but can quickly degrade the H20 quality. If you have fan worms and they look like they are all sitting fat.... it could be. The fan worms and other filter feeders...

Class Clown is right they are just oppurtunistic animals. When something is dying they will eat it. If a snail is healthy and flipped over on it's back helplesss, and MR. Blue legs walks by , he will most likely eat it..... Just part of evolution

Abalone- coolest ever. Like a snail without a shell... It looks like an all terrain vehicle that moves fast and cleans everything in it's way. Cleaner shrimp are a very close second, in terms of friendliness.

Lisa thanks, he stopped, I think he/she was just checking it out when I first put it in. All seems well now.
