My tank is full of aiptasia but so far my peppermints have not eaten any of them yet. I've heard that berghia nudibranch will eat them because aiptasia are their main food. Thats what I'm going to try in my tank if the peppermints don't do their job.

My cerith snails actually seem to like cleaning the rock more than the glass, I see them on the rocks all the time. But yea, the hermits will sometimes kill the snails if you don't have any empty shells for them.

I had the same thing happening with my 40 gal and the bubbles, and I think they should go away. I had the bubbles in a previous tank too and eventually went away after the cycle. The cleanup crew should eat all the algae no problem if you have enough snails and hermits to clean it all up. I...

It says in your profile that you have a 30 gallon tank? Adding any more fish to that size would be too much.

I don't see any signs of aggression, no tears on his fins or anything. I did notice some black smudges on his bottom fins before I moved him, not really spots but just big smudges, like he got ink on him or something

The brown algae is most likely diatoms. You get it at the end of the cycle. And yes snails and hermits will eat it. I would recommend the cerith snail, they will specifically go after the diatom algae and won't fall off the glass as easily as the turbo snails. I've had a lot of problems with...

I have a 40 gal too, and my fav is my velvet blue damsel and even though he is a damsel, he's not aggressive to any of my other fish. He has the best personality

Originally Posted by wingzfan I did and the crabs just killed the snails for their shells. I've had scarlet hermits do that to my turbo snails too, but I have green leg hermits now that don't bother the snails. I haven't had trouble with the red legs either, only the scarlets.

I've had trouble getting perculas to host an anemone, because most of them are tank raised so they will not usually go into an anemone. My clarkii clowns always go in anemones. My favorite anemone for them is the sabae. Some people say the sabaes are hardy and some don't think they are, but...

I have a coralife double light power compact fixture with a 96 watt (10,000 K) actinic and a 96 watt hyper white.

yep I got the diatom algae and I tested the water numerous times. All my shrimp, starfish and snails are fine, I thought they were more sensitive to water than the clownfish? So I thought if anything would die it would be the inverts first.

It's been setup for about a month and a half, but I took all the live rock and live sand from the old tank and a lot of the water, and waited a couple weeks. I would have waited longer but I had all my fish and inverts in a 10 gal while I was doing the move, I made sure the water parameters...

Yea I had another post about the aiptasia. I'm working on trying to get rid of all those things

Because of my tank expenses, I was not able to get any new gen consoles this year, but I do have friends who bought Halo 3 I wasn't very impressed by the graphics at all and I only played the first level of the story. Like the new vehicles thought I do love the online play and I have...

yea LFS are always just tryin to make a sale, unless you have known them to be true experts and trust their knowledge. I have learned not to trust most pet stores If you have the right lighting, then you can have anemones eventually. Do you know what kind of lighting you have?

I think 4-5 fish is a bit much for a 24 gal. 2-3 very small fish I would say is the max. Since the tank is still new, fish should be added very slowly otherwise it will be too much for the bio load. The tank has just recently cycled right? How long have the fish been in the tank for? Wait a...

Anybody have saltwater tanks in two places? I just setup a new 40 gal tank, but unfortunately my bf lives 3 hours away and I am living with him more than at my own home. But he liked my tank so much that we finally setup a 25 gal at his house but I miss my tank at home so much. Whenever...

Same thing happened to my saeba anemone. I upgraded to a 40 gal and my anemone didn't too too well in the move, it was all shriveled in a rock and then it disappeared into the live rock and I haven't seen any trace of it since.

The anemone sounds like it is stressed. The tank is too new for an anemone, it needs a little more time to establish before adding anemones sine they are very sensitive. But what are your water parameters and what kind of lighting do you have on your tank?
