Well today I found the creepiest creature coming out of my rocks in my tank! He made me nervous...but thankfully I was assured that he not only wasn't going to crawl out and get me in the night....but he is good for my tank! I would say that is my favorite part about saltwater fish keeping is...

Oh good! I found him all kinds of creepy with just his legs wiggling out of the rock! Made me nervous! Crazy thing is...I haven't added any new rock for 3 or 4 months and this is the first time I have seen him. I hope I see more of him now that I know what he is.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Just spotted this creature(s?) coming out of my live rock... So when I first noticed it I thought it was just a strange striped worm of some sort coming out if the rock....which it still may be. But the closer I looked at it the more it looks like 1 creature with several legs. Nothing like I...

Welcome back! AND nice to meet you! Can't wait to see pics of your new tank!

I have 2 peppermint shrimp, and they don't touch them. I also have a skunk shrimp, 2 emerald crabs, a maroon clown, and various little hermits & snails

So I think I have a majano problem. I was originally told they weren't a pest anemone, but recently was reading that they are a pest. What is the best way to get rid of them without harming the rest of my rock life? I actually really like the way they look, but if they are bad then i want to...

So is it normal that tons of my polyps are cruising around the tank? I rearranged my rocks about a month or so ago, and since then they have been moving like crazy. I have one that even cruises the glass....this is strange right? I put a new rock in and it seems like a lot of them want to be on...

ok thanks :) strapped for $$ but would love a new addition, so this will work out nicely.

Right now I have 2 skunk shrimp, and I was under the impression that they were best in pairs. A friend of mine wanted to do a swap with me and take one of my skunks....should I keep them paired, or would it be okay to separate them?

What does LMB stand for? The only thing I could come up with was Large Mouth Bass....and I am pretty sure that is not what you had in your tank. Sorry i am still learning the acronyms :) Your tank looks BEAUTIFUL! Gives me something to aspire for! I don't have good enough lighting right now for...

What is RO water exactly? I am new to this site and am having the hardest time figuring out all of the acronyms everyone uses! I feel super dumb! hahahaha. I am guessing RO water is some kind of water you buy at the store? I do not have a good source of saltwater anything where I am at. I can...

How do we feel about algea blennys? A friend of mine has an algea blenny he wants to sell me. He also has a pistol shrimp, who I totally want...but I would love to pair him with a prawn goby eventually. Is it okay to pair them separately, or is it better to introduce them to the tank at the same...

I had a watchman goby that the maroon never bothered, and she never bothered my cowfish...the only thing she ever pestered was the other clown. I really love my maroon, so if it came down to it i would rather have just the maroon in my tank than get rid of it so i can have a couple other fish.

I've had a lot of deep purple colored aptasia. They were pretty...too bad they are naughty anemones! I got a couple peppermint shrimp, and now they are all gonners :)

So I am new to the hobby, and I am learning new things everyday. There are a lot of fish that I like, and so many I would love to add to my tank, but I am determined to keep everything in my tank perfectly paired. I don't want to add anyone that will pester my other creatures. I have a 47 tall...

F@#!*ING AMAZING! I just spent about 4 hrs reading this entire post......like moths to a flame! Not only is the tank just BREATHTAKING...Your pics are just....WOW! I am only about 6 mo into the hobby...but I have a new idol! Thanks so much for not only starting this post, but keeping it updated...

Thanks! I have been curious about that :)
