    Need help to identify what this creature is

    Need help to identify what this creature is

    Hello everyone, I just discovered a new creature in my tank. I would like to know what it is and would really appreciate your help. First, I thought it is some kind of algae, as it was like a bunch of yellow hair-like algae grown out of a shell. Today I noticed it has changed its shell. Also...

    Going on a 2-week trip, what to do about Iodine?

    WOW! I thought adding iodine is essential for molting species. How does it work for you with no iodine Gemmy?

    Going on a 2-week trip, what to do about Iodine?

    I already had a 2 year old fish tank, with a large decoration full of algae. I moved that to my invert tank, specially because of the snails. There is still tons of algae on that decoration. Thank for your advice. So you believe two weeks of no iodine does not cause a big problem. Does any other...

    Going on a 2-week trip, what to do about Iodine?

    I have not measured iodine level, because the kits are too expensive. I simply have followed the directions of the idionie solution so far. The tank is about 1 month old. Evaporation does not seem to be big issue for two weeks. I pour one gallon of water every week. I think it should be fine to...

    Going on a 2-week trip, what to do about Iodine?

    Thank you for the reply. First let me fix a typo in my original post: have a cap=half a cap. I use Reef Iodin produced by Seachem. The instruction says "Full cap is 5 ml". Add 5mL (1 capful) for each 50 gallows every other day." So for a 20 gallon tank, it is approximately half a cap every other...

    Going on a 2-week trip, what to do about Iodine?

    Hello everyone, I have a 20-gallon invert tank with some hermite crabs and snails, as well as a shrimp and an emerald crab. I need to leave my place for two weeks. I have seen automatic fish feeders, which I can probably setup for my invert tank. I can fill it with dry foods such as flakes or...

    Got reeftank, want seahorse, worried about food mess

    I have not decided about what type of seahorse to buy. However, from the comments it seems I cannot go with dwarf seahorses and hence I must think of getting a bigger tank. Thanks H.M.

    Got reeftank, want seahorse, worried about food mess

    Thank you very much for your response. So you believe that the frozen food will not float in water but remain in the dish?

    Got reeftank, want seahorse, worried about food mess

    Hello everyone, I have an established 15gal reeftank with some turbo snails and hermit crabs and a Xenia coral. I would like to add a couple of seahorses. I read about them and it seems that feeding them is challenging. From my understanding, a lot of food must be released in the water to...

    Small species on live rock harmful?

    Thank you King for the answers. The small worms look dark red. I will try to provide a picture tonight, but I am not sure if my camera can zoom that much as the worms are very small. So it seems the last question is still open and I would appreciate other answers to that.
