It seems to be an parasitic issue to me. Best I can tell. I'm suprised you don't have a smaller QT. I would suggest setting one up and getting this one in there before tankmates contract this. I will do some more research in my library of fish books and get back with you on this. At the...

I know what you mean. I had a teacher some 20 years ago tell me,"Does the image mean something to you or to everyone?" If you are the only one that sees what you see, the shot is better left alone.

I don't mind a bit, I actually have that same crop in my files. I find myself in some crazy set ups just to find that "ONE" shot to say what you feel.

Like Bang says, they are most likely full grown. It is very common to find this smaller version in almost every piece of live rock you purchase. Most you will not see, since they are very small and do not show themselves. Definitely a great hitchiker to have. They keep excess foods a debree...

Yes it is normal. Anemones in general will move about the tank until they find a spot they like. This is why adding them to a reef tank can sometimes backfire on you. Try and place your RBTA in a crevice area, that might ease his moving, but don't count on it.

Great thread, you've given some great advice here. I have mixed passion here. One is SW the other is photography. I have a degree in photography, and have had fish my whole life. Keep throwing out the advice. I shoot with a Minolta 800si, and Sigma lenses.

I love getting supplies from my local grocer, seems to work the best. Great advice as usual Saxman.

Even with a larger tank, like the 350 gallon you mentioned, I think you will be overly crowded with the numbers you listed.

Right on, these guys do get pretty large. Mine is now about 6', and about 10" top to botton. He is housed in a 400 gallon with about 40 chromis. He favors tiger shrimp over any fish I have offered him over the years. I aquired him about 14 years ago from a local dealer, he was dubbed a Fish...

These guys are quite the interesting tank partners. I have had one in a 200 gallon for almost 16 years. I have never had an issue with him wanting to go after me when I did any tank service. I am carefull to encourage him to move when he is on the side I need to be on. He is now right around...

No matter what you do, when it comes to anemones, they will move until they are happy. Generally, I would not recommend adding them to the reef tank for that very reason. Good luck.

Right on Flower. My previous post is merely a way to eliminate it immediately, but will not fix the WHY. It is handy to keep your corals and such from being overwhelmed while you fix what is wrong.

Cynobacteria can be the worst headache in the world for you tank. One idea, that I had used years back in my reef tank, is to use Erythromycin. You can get this at your local fish store. I'm sure you will get mixed feelings about this, since it has been debated for years. I had researched...

I agree with the other replies. The Green Mandarin, as with most dragonets of this type, are very difficult to feed prepared foods. Your 180 would fair much better, even then you need to have a constant source of replenishment. These fish never stop feeding and can quickly deplete even the...

I would not recommend adding these two together in your tank. First of all, the Queen Angel is a very large fish. Your 125 will not be large enough to house an adult Queen. The Queen Angel is also fairly aggressive toward tank mates, especially fellow angels. They can also be difficult to...

How long have you had your Lion Fish? Did you ask the facility where you purchased him what they were feeding? I have found that in many cases, the lion is simply in a state of shock. You can use a specimen container on the outside of you tank to tempt him. Try multiple things in the...

I have a 125 Gallon reef tank, with a breeding pair of Ocellarus Clowns in it. This pair has been spawning on a regular basis for almost two years, yet I have not seen on baby. There is a Six Line Wrasse, a Yellow Tail Blue Damsel, and a Lawnmower Blenny as tankmates. This is a heavily...
