    do fish just disappear?

    I had two fish disappear like that into thin air (water). I am guessing that the bottom dwellers had a feast. In my case, I think it was the brittle stars and/or the hermits. The second fish disappeared only a few days ago, and it was a 50 dollar fish. I guess Natural selection was at...

    20 gallon coral reccomendations

    I would get some live rock in your tank, if your shooting for a reef set up. As far as coral goes, it's all in the eye of the beholder. If your looking for some easy, "cool" starter corals, I'd consider some star polyps, a frog spawn, and maybe a hammer coral. Good luck!

    Brittle Stars, keepers?

    I have two brittles, a 5" green and a 7" redish/brown. I have had the green brittle for about a year. When I brought my red/brown brittle home a few months ago, I put him in the tank that night and woke up to find that my sand shifing star had no legs left! I figured he must have been hungry...

    What's this?

    I have 100+ pounds of live rock in my 55 reef. Part of the fun of having live rock seems to be that you sometimes get more than you bargined for. I have two new "things" growing on my rock, and I'd like to know what they are, good or bad before it spreads. The first "thing" is about the size...

    Fragged Pagoda coral yesterday

    Mal, this guy who fragged his Pagoda for you sounds like a good friend. I hope you hooked him up with something cool from your Reef tank. I'll thank you to get right on that. I'd hate to think that a Blue Powder Tang is taking advantage of a Red Coris Wrasse.

    splitting anemone

    UPDATE I'm not real sure exactly what kind it is. When I bought it they had it listed as a "long tentacle." The tentacles aren't much longer than a sebae though. It is almost a transparent green with a slightly darker foot. It also has a glod hue on the tentacles. It's really cool. All...

    sump & refugium VS. wet dry & bio balls
