does anyone know why saltwaterfish.com has stopped selling corals? this WAS the best site to order from a couple of years ago until they decided to do u-build it packages and weed out the hard/soft corals. the selection now sucks. please, if anyone that works for this company is reading, give...

as others have said, it's hard to tell but i think it looks like a queen conch in one of the pics.?

broomer5~ i apologize for the confusion. i was not speaking specifically about what you stated. you did seem passionate about what you add to your tank, as i hope everyone is. the statement i made was an attempt to let someone new to reef tanks know that it does aid in the health of certain...

sorry to bring this thread back again but i don't understand how adding minerals that are found in the ocean are to be considered foreign chemicals and dangerous to your tank if done correctly. i do weekly tests on my reef tank to make sure that all readings are in the range that they need to...

four-line wrasses will also eat bristleworms...

i personally do add minerals to my tank each week and feel that it is important to maintain healthy corals. i use calcium, tech 1 and strontium once a week. some hobbyists may not feel it is needed but i don't mind spending $26 every few months. i did notice a difference when i started using...

i have had my seahorse for 2 1/ years now and he has grown quite large. he is a great feeder; he accepts brine shrimp and hunts for copeopods in the rocks all day long. i have two perculas (mates), two mandarin gobies (mates), golden-headed sleeper goby, one cleaner shrimp and one peppermint...

seesponge... your yellow tang may be the culprit; they sometimes pick at clams.

i've had my scooter blenny for three years now and he is a tank; his tail is as wide as his head!!! what symptoms have you noticed before they die?

I use Reef Crystals and feel that there is a difference. Granted, I don't know that there are considerable effects, but while I do a water change I know that there are certain elements that are being taken from the tank. With Reef Crystals I am equalizing the change, which doesn't alter the...

I read that brittle starfish eat bristle worms, although I have never seen mine devour a worm. Arrow crabs are another choice, but I wouldn't suggest them because they tend to be bullies. (check the info on this website for Arrow crabs)

sundog, I'm sorry if I came across the wrong way. I was only saying that there are people who bash on others for taking something from the ocean and I sometimes wonder what part they are doing to protect the environment. I am not only in this hobby for the enjoyment, but also for the...

Hey Percman! I love percs also and mine have taken to the mushrooms in the tank. The other day one of the clowns laid on top of a rock with 35 shrooms and was suckling on another nearby. So... if you are afraid of being flamed for wanting an anemone, there are other choices out there to...

I think Reef Ranger spoke for me! Everyone seems to have a good stance on this post. Yes, this discussion board is supposed to be about learning and fun; however, it is issues like these that allow each of us to see the fascination of this hobby. It is people like us that are passionate about...

I know this won't answer your question, but... The aptasia (spelling?), curly-que anemone, has a shrimp that lives within its tentacles and defends it host. Is it possible that the same could be true for the crab and its xenia?

How do you know the difference between feather duster sexes? I have more baby tubes in my tank than I can count and I have not had any fish or inverts eat them. However, I had a few die (they were attached to a piece of live rock) because of algae growth.
