    which anenome or ????????????? coral ???? or ????

    clowns will host in anything that waves. Sometimes not. Just depends. Try a frog or hammer spawn. They come in a variety of colors and would be a bit easier to keep than an anemone

    male or female?

    More than likely its genetic. The only thing the spines will tell you is whether the clown is a true or false perc. I don't know the count on them but it differs by one. Coloring is alot of times genetic especially if you get tank raised ones. But as Bang Guy said it could be other things.

    Lost Powder Blue Tang

    Sounds like an infection was there. Not sure what its called though. I've seen it before. Turns them redish around the gills. There are treatments for it. He may have gotten it when placed in your tank, ie going from one environment to a foreign environment. Powder Blues are like that.

    switching tanks

    Save it all. It will be like doing a really big water change. Just be sure to match the temperature and keep the ph and salinity the same during the xfer.

    Porcupine Puffers

    You have to really threaten them to puff up. I've caught one before and except for some frantic swimming didn't even inflate at all. Just be very gentle with them and you should'nt have any problems

    Intro of LR in new tank

    i personally would add 50+ lbs of rock and let it sit for a week. If all the parameters check out then try a damsel or two if you like any of them, definitely some snails and hermits to start caretaking the rock. Otherwise if the levels are escalated let it sit for another week or two. The...

    4x65watt pc corals?

    I disagree with not being able to do any sps's. There are some yo ucan do such as porites and some montipora's(capricornus in particular). Do some hw and ask questions. Find out who keeps the most stunning sps's in your area and ask their opinion.

    o god not the tang police

    if you can help yourself and not add any more fish to your tank that will help him not to get sick. Keep a cleaner shrimp in there to control things too.

    MIA shrimp

    they are illusive. Once they learn you're food then they will come scrambling out for some. Other than that they are pretty nocturnal and hang out in the shade till dark.

    o god not the tang police

    I'd say at around five or six inches i'd look to sell him. These jokers are one of the hardest fish to keep due to their finiky health issues. A reef really helps them....

    try and find a lfs to baby sit them for a while. They may charge you a weekly fee. My lfs does that. Possibly invest in a 10 gallon tank and take them home? As far as weekends go fish can generally go a week without eating if they are well fed as it is. If you stay gone longer than that...

    protein skimmer working too hard?

    if your tank has never been skimmed its typical to "overproduce" It will steadily die down and eventually won't do much.

    Dont ever over feed.....

    if you got rid of the source of the ammonia or the cleaners did then it should clear up fairly quickly. You have loads of bacteria in your tank for that stuff. OH YEAH....Something called biozyme might help too, or cycle for saltwater mind you.... Its beneficial bacteria that you can add to...
