Algae Blenny is too large and that would be the one. Stomatella Snails would work.

Fire shrimp are very reclusive during the day. Did you find an actual dead shrimp other than the molt? 3 days sounds to me like osmotic shock from an inadequate acclimation. What is the difference in salinity between your tank and where the shrimp were purchased?

That resembles a Pencil Urchin, right? Why not try one of the Urchins that eat algae instead of a predator? I agree with the above comments. Hair algae is cause by excess nutrients. Did your live rock ever experience a really high ammonia level?

It might help if you posted the actual water parameters and the specific lighting you have. What waterflow rate are you going with? If I were to guess... I would guess insufficient light.

It has determined that it cannot thrive in it's current location. I doubt it has to do with the Clownfish it is hosting. It could be water current, lighting, food, etc. If it were me I would let it wander and find a new spot. It looks good in the picture.

Before buying a chiller: Can you lower the temperature of the room the tank is in? Can you lower the humidity of the room the tank is in? Do you have fans blowing on the water surface to increase evaporation? Forget the ice bottles, more harm than good there. Most corals we have in the...

It would eat a Volkswagen if it could catch it.

They prey on larger animals. It would never notice something as tiny as Artemia. Think larger like other big Snails, sleeping fish, Clams, jumbo Shrimp, etc.

For new hobbyists my suggestion is 1 inch of fish for each 5 gallons of display tank and use the adult size of the fish, not the current size. As you gain experience this can be modified depending on the activity and swimming requirements of the fish but I strongly suggest you heed this for a...

That looks similar to a Lightning Whelk. It is definitely a Whelk of some type. It is a predator and does not eat algae of any type. Try feeding it a piece of Shrimp, Scallop, or Clam. Perhaps a sleeping Angelfish... Try some type of Turban Snail, Astraea can also be good but there's a good...

yep

How much sand to what size tank? Do you currently have a sand bed? Real live sand or bagged wet sand?

Sycon Sponges, commonly called Q-Tip Sponge.

I assume this is a question. My understanding is that when the Trophonts drop off the fish and attach to the substrate they produce about 10 Tomonts. Were all parties in the above conversation informed that this was Saltwater Ick and not Freshwater Ick? The Trophonts are very tough. I'm...

Was the picture from first thing in the morning?

It might be able to kill Ick if you run the water through slow enough. Most UVs on the market really don't perform very well. Perhaps just run the UV at a trickle on your quarantine tank, that could work. Ick is in the water column for such a short amount of its lifespan I just don't see the...

I'm sure you have some amount of phyto, it's probably minimal. So then, why are you considering UV?

Apologies - ULN?

The typical issue with having a friend watch the tank is overfeeding. A big water change should help a lot there. What are the symptoms?
