Lava rock from the garden supply store. Get the black because the red sometimes leeches iron.

Natural adult size is what you should use when deciding on a tank regardless of what size they so called "normally" get in captivity.

If you hatch the eggs in tank water you can use them, I'm not sure what the stuff is that they give you. Are the eggs separate, or is the salt and them all mixed together? You're going to feed the pets your daughter got for Christmas to your pets?

There's a store on route 82 in Columbia Station that sells used tanks, mostly large ones. He takes trades, etc.

Heres what I found; generally considered medium difficulty among sps, medium to strong light, medium to weak water flow, no direct feeding needed, need Calcium and strontium supplements to grow, keep out of reach of other corals feeding tentacles.

Newly hatched brine shrimp are nutritious. They become less nutritious when they lose their egg sack. The frozen brine is adult unless stated on the package.

"Not as bright and do not have as much black on them" the store that said this has a poor breeder source. BangGuy breeds Percs that are the most vividly colored I've seen.

The darker the background the more vibrant the fishes colors will be.

I had a rock with a lot on it for years and never saw any new ones appear. I put live rock rubble in my tank every week and maybe there was something on that that the worms needed. I didn't expect them to live more than a year.

Well without actually seeing it I'd say that you probably could with the edition of an overflow box instead of having to drill.

Natural behaviors and captive behaviors aren't necessarily the same thing, especially in the confines of a standard size home aquarium. You need to consider their actual behavior in the environment they're in, not what they would normally do in general. The domino snuggling up to the lion who...

There really aren't any ready made tanks that could be considered adequate for anything more than their sleeping quarters.

This is a common problem when lfs guys feed them brine shrimp to keep them looking plump. This often results in internal parasites and bacterial infections.

Rusty angels are prone to what I call sudden fish death syndrome. One day their fine, the next they're dead. You can mix different genus' of angels, the Flame should be ok with the larger species. There are very few butterflies, except known schoolers like Bannerfish, that can be kept...

They're pretty hard, but doable. You really have to be dedicated to their care. They make for interesting pets though. A guy I knew had one in what was basically a swimming pool with a window in the rec room. He never escaped because he was happy where he was. It would open the lid and reach out...
