Can someone please give me a basic rundown on the difference between snowflake clowns and picasso ... and what makes them semi? How you can tell the difference between looking at them? Thank you! SWK

LOL ok great!! Thank you for the responses ... I can handle that!! Just want to be sure they get what they need. Kat

Hi, I have never owned a clownfish before but next week, I am getting a pair of Picasso babies and a pair of Snowflake babies ... how long until they will be looking to host? I mostly only have zoas, xenia, ricordias and a kenya tree so I want to be sure I get them what they need by the time...

You guys are all awesome ... thanks so much for the input and quick science lesson. I put back the trochus shell that I took out in the middle of the night and "nature" resumed it's course. The peppermint shrimp went right for it and picked up where he left off tearing away at what was left...

So now I see why places sell empty shells ... hmmmmmmm ... always wondered why someone would buy empties, lol. kat

Ok, just found a few pics of him from my nano tank build thread, back from when I was proud to own him, lol. guess the speckles aren't all red ... they seem to be a white/cream color here ... i named him jack ... as in jacka$$ or jack the ripper, lol don't mind the pretty green decorations...

Originally Posted by luvmyreef Must of been some bad advice for me then, glad they can be mixed because I really like the red ones too. as far as any black legged hermits....I only know of zebra ones and sometimes they can look solid black. my local pet store has them for sale. but I dunno...

Thank you all for the comments ... To answer SteveDave08's questions, it's a 24g Aquapod ... I only have a Royal Gramma. I also only feed fish food so far because when I feed the fish foof, the shrimp come out and eat it so I figured that was sufficient. I guess I'm about to hear that it's...

Well, I didn't know what to make of it at first but a few days ago I saw a hermit crab (that was a hitchhiker in the tank set up, I did not purchase him when I got my clean up crew and I know this because I bought 3 red legs and 3 blue legs and he has black legs) wrestling around with another of...

I JUST dropped a yellow tail damsel off at ***** Monday morning ... felt like a mother abandoning her child at Social Services but it had to be done. I will say the feeling didn't last long ... by the time I was out of the parking lot, I was feeling pretty good about myself. LOL He was...

Well, belated Happy Thanksgiving everyone ... I was out of town Wednesday thru Sunday but I'm back now. So, levels have been staying at 0 ... things were great the whole time I was away so on Sunday afternoon, we went to the LFS and had them test the water and everything was good so ... I bought...

ok ... the snail gets his arse cleaned tomorrow. kat
