fire shrimp, dead now, formerly known as two finger bandit.....

Jaws are jumpers cover your tank If you want to you could try to top coat with a layer of fine sand...... It just depends on the size of the crushed coral. Just provide plenty of little caves and he'll find one

Keep in mind as well. That the coris will one day get more than a foot long and will rearrange sand with his burrowings.

btw wrasses do bury themselves or will hide in tiny caves in the rock. They sometimes build spit bubbles when they sleep if you ever see your sixline surrounded in something

Well The coris is reef safe in the sense it won't eat corals. It will eat shrimp and not sure about snails and hermits. Sixlines are completely (usually) reef safe in the sense they don't eat shrimp sometimes and don't eat corals. As far as mixing wrasses in a small tank. That is a no no...

I heard the mod is the only way to get it to work well. Just hope it doesn't start clanking like i've also heard they do :)

i've heard several years 1-3 Don't really have any way of telling how old a specimen is unless you've raised one from birth to death :)

it should be more foam than anything but if its collecting dirty dirty water then that works too. Youll just have to keep an eye on your salinity since the skimmer portion is taking water out of the system. It won't be drastic but over time....

The molt of crabs can really fool you. Shrimp is alot easier to tell. I do concur tho probably hiding or he just died....

btw if you wish to feed it night time is the best when it opens up its tentacles. Other wise you have to hold the food in place until he closes on it. Feeding is a really good way to nurse him back to health too. I saved my brain from some serious bleaching.

It looks like lobophylia but lobo's usually have seperate bodies and one mouth unless its spliting really wierdly. Is the skeleton one ovaly piece? It could just be an open brain that has grown four mouths. The color shading at the top of your picture suggests that. Dunno. More pics i guess.

You need more light if you want to place the corals anywhere in the tank. I suggest stacking your rock so you can get the corals several inches (6 inches) from the light. That will ensure they get enough light while you work on getting more light. Your PC's are enough but NOT UNLESS you get...

I concur with the copper thing. Any kind of reef tank CAN NOT be treated with much. Fish only yes. Most of those treatments will kill inverts and corals. You may want to get a 10 gallon tank pronto and set it up for the clean up crew coming in. More than likely your main tank could kill...

if you have super fine sand in there then yes it can stick to him. It does to my fish all the time. I would keep him in there at least another week. Can take 3 weeks for ich to work its way out. If you want to be absolutely sure and he is doing well then 4 weeks

NM reef.... Question. Does calcium percipitate look like salt creep at all? I have alot of salt, maybe calcium, on the back of my 12gallon. I don't have any leaks in the tank but somehow this percipitate is back there. Will the calcium evaporate in the water?

Stop doseing and test it tomorrow. Maybe an error somewhere. I did that once and the reading was off the chart.

you could try super glue geling him too. I've done that. Just make sure he can't poke out anywhere

No its for a 20 and i have an emperor 300 on it so im kinda limited for space. Just got dual 65's for the 20 and im tryin acros and clams :)

Yeah i went there. No dimensions. I guess i can get a good picture there. Thanks for the dimensions though...

Go with a dwarf lion. He'll get plenty big enough. As far as other fish go..... Dwarf Angels may work. Alot of the tangs get to big for a 60 and the triggers like to eat the spines off of Lions. Buy them small enough and they may get along.
