Typically we don’t recomend Messing with the sand bed at all. Toxins will be released that can while out a tank. This is assuming you have fish. You can siphon off small amounts from a single area once a week or so while you are doing regular water changes, till most of it is gone, you...

If they don’t have enough ligh they will shrink and eventually dissappear

Get a small one from a tank with a lot of them. Don’t get the largest one in the tank. Since you have a QT up and running you might consider adding the new one into the QT with the old one so there is no chance it turns female during its 30 day QT.

Color loss is a stress response. what size tank? What tank mates? Water parameters? How long have you had fish? Did you quarantine?

You can as long as there isn’t any copper in your system. Why do you need it? Future tests for ammonia will be positive. Unless you use the sea hem kit

Did you treat all your fish for ich and leave the tank fallow for the requisite amount of time? If not your tank is still infected and any fish you buy is at risk.

Might be molting. Just leave him alone

Re home the two problem fish. look at maybe a shrimp goby orchid dotty back firefish cardinal fish. you are limited to 5-6 small (adult size) fish in a 29.

Often they split when they are stressed. Not enough light or water quality is often the cause.

How big is it?

No clue. it appears o be on top of its skin not growing out of it. Almost like a bundle of eggs. I don’t suppose you can brush it off.

I’d bet they are both female. The outcome will probably be bad. I’d return one of them.

all clowns are born male. In a group the dominant becomes female. once female they can’t go back to male. That female will not tolerate any other females. I assume these clowns were not in the same tank at the store. the orange one is an oscelaris. The black I’m not so sure. its stripes...

Re-home one is probably the only choice.

Are these both oscelaris Clowns? if they are the same species I can think of tow scenarios. 1) they are both female. In this case one will eventually kill the other. 2) only one is female or both are male. In this situation one will become dominant the other will stay male and things may be...

I struggled with the same question a few years ago when I upgraded. In the end it came down to the fact that I prefer the look of sand. I don’t have a ton of sand just around the outside edges of the rocks. Is one better than the other? I don't think so. Each has its advantage. The sand...

Or you could go fancy with a hang on refugium. This is one example.

Chaeto will grow but you can cut it back. It tends to stay in a ball. You can probably put it in a When I trim it I take a big chunk out then shake it in the water to get the pods out of it. you could do something like this on the cheap, net breeder keeps fish away from macro and allows pods...

I think if you get some Chaeto morpha macro algae your tang will leave it a lone and the pods will be very happy. make sure you aren’t using any filter socks or other means of mechanical filtration. This will filter out the pods, especially filter socks. No UV steralizer, it will kill them...

I’ve never been able to keep one alive long term. Others say they are easy. Typically only one Per tank. Dotties can be vicious and go after other fish with the same body type. That may be the issue. If they are scared enough they may starve.
