I ended up tanking mine back to the lfs for credit because i heard that they can get pretty big and agressive. I was told that they can even start to eat small fish as well as sting corrals and inverts.

I dont know if its the same or not, but my cleaner shrimp had some black spots on his sides day before yesterday. Then yesterday when i got home from work, he was back to normal with no black at all. Dont give up on him yet.

I was at my favorite LFS today, and was talking to the owner as usual. Very nice guy, always gives me good advice that has worked great for me so far. Well, anyway, on the counter in the store, he has a 5 gal minibow nano reef set up. I was looking at it today and noticed he had a Green...

[hr] I have a full grown Ocellaris clown in the 46 bow. I have been talking about getting another one, but hadn't researched it yet. Well, my gf brought me one home last night. Its very small. Would it be ok to add to the 46 with the other one or will there be a problem? Right now i have the...

Well, the clown gobies didn't come in the shipment for some reason, so i just got some xenia, a shroom and a few star polyps. And one pepermint shrimp to get the aiptasia that i found in there.

That works out perfectly because the LFS said he was getting some in thursday night, so they would all be for sale today... I get off work in 20 min, so im headed to Athens to the lfs with some $$. Thanks!

I have a 2.5 minibow tank in my bedroom and i was wondering if anyone had any ideas for a small single fish that I could add. It only has LR and LS now and one small hermit, and one small snail. Thanks!

Its sitting on a rock in a low flow area close to the light. I havent glued it or messed with it at all, and today when i got home from work its actually starting to perk up. I hope it attaches b4 the hermit knocks it over :)

Thanks for the quick replies. Here's a pic of it. I think i just saw one of the tenticles move a little, but it might have been from the current. http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e1...2/000_0211.jpg

Mine is actually in a 2.5 minibow nano tank. The lighting is just a 50/50. I cant remember the wattage, but the guy at the LFS told me that if i ever decided to get begginner corrals that this light would be enough for a tank so small. Its the flouresent screw in type that replaces the...

I just bought a nice piece of LR from my fav LFS and it had two small frags of xenia on it. They dont look the best, but they look alive. The problem is, on the way home, one o them broke off and was floating in the bag when i got home. What can i do for it? Will it re-attach itself to something...

Well, I did it. I figured I'd go with the cheapo tank to start with just to see if I could keep up. If it starts to deteriorate, I'll just transfer everything to a different tank. Here's my 2.5 minibow. Its got a HOB filter rated at 70 gph, and a 25 watt heater. Only a 10 watt flouresent for...

If you feel bad tossing him, maybe the LFS would take him off your hands...

yeah, it things are dying on the rock, it will eventually straighten up. But im not sure thats whats going on with yours, but thats what it sounds like

was the rock cured? If not, its probably die off from shipping.

Well, i have a digital camera, but no idea how to get the pics from my computer to here...
