When I bought it it was proably about 6inchs long know it's about 8 but was very healthy when perchased.Be careful when adding the new tang because yellow tangs once acclimated to their new surroundings can be mean also.So make sure the new fish is as large or larger.I hope this helps.GOODLUCK...

I've had one for close to a year now with no problems but I've read and heard the same but if you would of asked me before I read this I would say the oppisite.Mine's been very hardy and have had no problem's as of yet except it being very dominent over the other tankmates but it has'nt killed...

I think a frogspawn is a good coral for a intermediate reefer they are a hardy coral I have two different types they like low to medium current with acasional stronge bursts I run a wave maker so it might be hard to get that type of currents so stick to low to medium unless you have one.They...

Thanks for the reply it's nice to know I'm on the right track.

Sounds like star phylops and if they started from somthing that looked dead sounds like your already doing the right additions.Like the old saying goe's don't fix it if it a'nt broke.GOODLUCK

I would hold off untill you get your halides with the light you have your clams would die they need very intense lighting(halides)for the garden in there mantle to grow.I have read many articles by different authors that have come to the same conclusion.I personaly have three a dersa and two...

I'm glad I could help and I hope it makes a full comeback.

When anenomes shrink and then reinflate there doing a water change and this is also a way to get rid of waste.If there doing this often there is probable something awry with your water parameters check PH,alkalinity,Cal,phosphates,nitrates if the carpet is two months old lighting shouldnt be the...

It's definetly not happy from the sound of it .What type of lighting do you have, carpets need intense lighting also how are your nitrates ,high nitrates can also stress them and anenomes need a descent amount of current it brings them oxygen and carrys away there wastes.there are a couple of...

What size tank do you have ,do you have 3-4 watts pure a gallon I'm assuming the three blues are atinic and the white is a high intensity daylight like a 20k or 10k maybe try two atinic and two daylight thats if you have enough wattage and mushrooms usally lay flat and stand up if there not...

Hey thats a great book it really has some great info.I just wanted to mention a great book for people starting out called A Practical Guide To Corals For The Reef Aquarium it's great it gives the common names that they are called at your LFS and it makes it easyer to identify them and what there...

I'm not sure if this is the answer your looking for but the main causes for tissue recession and which is usally followed by nerrocis is high phosphate levels low strontium levels or low PH/and or alkalinity. Being you tested your alkalinity I'm assuming your PH is fine but what about the other...

Well I gess I need to explain myself better as far as adding the extra sand to stop my algae problem I really can't explain why it stoped the algae but from posts and from articals I have read theres a fine line between haveing to little or to much sand and I am by no means a authority on live...

After giving the bath the coral is naturaly going to be stressed and giving off mucas to counter act the fresh water thats foreign to it watch the waterflow you just need a steady flow to help keep the slime from coming back but like I said its 50/50 its going to make it but it would have been...

I would suggest a bubble tip if this is your first anenome the sebae and rittori are touchy and like to bury there foot under the substrat and attach to rock so you need bright light where as the bubble tip can be placed on the rock work as long as you have some deep nooks and cranys and it...

I agree with chuck about the hype about live sand.I set my anenome tank up about a year ago with dead agronite sand and coral sand mix and it is now full of worms and tiny brittle stars.The only thing I would worry about is the depth in my fifty five I have around 3inchs but the reason I say...
