remove the dead, like stated earler is your tank new? if so you might want to return your anenomies, they need almost perfect water and intence lighting jmo alan

my question to you, is your tank covered? if your tank is well established and you have 50-70lbs of live rock I will suggest to you to maybe look into a mandarin gobie. I think they are great Alan

imo the damsals will be fine what bigger fish are you going to get? alan

imo you should get a protien skimmer when your tank is cycled. alan

the fresh water and saltwater algea are at least very close cousins probably almost the same jmo alan

IMO if you have a big tank VHO is the way to go if space concerns you then PC jmo Alan

I love my mandarin. make sure you have plenty of live rock at least 50lbs and your tank is well established. mandarins eat pods that come from the rock and will starve with out them you might get lucky and get one that eats other stuff but dont count on it. hope this helps alan

soak your frozen food in some then drain of the garlic juice and then feed the food Alan

if all of your water paramiters are in the green then in my opinion your water should clear up, if after a couple of days it dosent then you might try a more agresive water change like 25-30% and see what that does hope this helps Alan also welcome to the board

it was a new anenome from the lfs. I had him for 3 days. I always use a syphon hose to remove the anenomes, I just didnt this time. my bad. it happened about 2 hrs ago now, I think the filters got the rest of the body removed from the tank. ill check again in the am thanx Alan

I had a anenome die on me today. when I went to get the thing out it exploded in my hands and gushed guts out all over my tank :mad: I got most of it out with my fishnet. will the un-removed cardcas hurt the other fish and stuff in the tank (I saw my yellow tailed damsel with a pice of it...

yeah you can use cc. the only reason I am going to switch to a dsb is because I think it looks cool and will reduce my nitrates. cc will be fine just vacume it regularly to keep it clean. JMO Alan

dont worry, try other food as well maybe even dry flake or some shrimp from the store give them some time to settle down in your tank jmo Alan

I had a domino that chased out my mandarin the domeino got removed when he attacked all the other fish as well. juvinile dominos will bond w/ anenomes and they are part of the same family as clown fish. Alan

check your nitrates, you need strong light and good water flow to wash out the wast of the anenome if it smells bad, then it is dead. and you need to remove it. JMO Alan

IMO they will get along with your scooter. you just have to have a established tank with plenty of lr. if you are worried about your pod population then the mandarin might eat baby krill jmo alan

how much light do you have? and is your tank established? how are your tank levels? Alan

irishstout, I think that any fish out their will eat pods. JMO Alan

mine will look that good with every-ones help your tank is something to try for this is not an opinion, this is fact Alan

I agree stay away from the anenome until you get more light. the anenome might live but it will not be healthy. JMO alan
