    Got a job

    I don't know you, but I understand your situation, going through the same thing myself right now. I bet your shoulders feel a lot lighter now. Congrats.

    snail id please?[

    If it's a nassarius it will have two tiny "feelers" coming off both the front and back of its foot. I'd keep it if you have no snails. Then put it in the fuge when you get it finished.

    New Duncan

    No, they are a deep water coral and do very well with less light, though after adjusting they can tolerate more intense lighting.

    snail id please?[

    For what it's worth it does look like a jumbo nassarius, but they have a long foot with two "feelers" on the backs, so that does look more like a conch's foot... and their "trunk" is always white.

    i really dig micro brittles.

    I was lucky enough to see a micro-brittle star spawning event in one of my tanks. Very cool. Funny how they usually appear to have one arm that's much larger than the others.

    mimic octo problems...

    Watch for signs of autophagia. Unfortunately one sickness some octos fall victim to causes them to eat their own arms. As for the "popeye" it could be bacterial infection or physical trauma which could lead to bacterial infection, and as already mentioned, you can't treat an octopus with...

    This guy wants to be president?

    I don't have and won't pretend to have all the answers, but... What we need to do is quit dividing ourselves with labels and all agree that what we are wanting and needing is to improve the country for everyone. We need to stop handing our wishes over to representatives who could care less about...

    This guy wants to be president?

    McCain's kinda sad. It's like visiting my grandparents when I see him on TV. He rambles on and gets of subject... early stages of dementia I presume.

    emporer 400 filter ??

    What is you favorite?

    For the artistic aspect of the hobby, the reef is definitely the way to go. And as mentioned, you can have much more diversity in a reef. For the "pet fish" aspect of the hobby probably FOWLR considering most of the larger aggressive fish tend to display a lot more interactive personality than...

    Growth on Rock ID

    Does it look like a bunch of tiny red, hard bubbles?

    mini serpent star

    Yup, all kinds of micro stars, and they multiply pretty fast. They won't get very big and you'll rarely see more than legs. Eventually you might get to see a spawning event, it's pretty neat. They all climb up to the highest nearby spot at the same time and stand up on the tips of their legs and...

    not a hitchhiker just grew what is it?

    Those are indeed hydroids on the right. If you can remove the rock you can put super glue gel on top of them to smother them. I've tried removing them with tweezers but I believe they will grow back.
