Help! we might have one answering to that same description. I can't see the pic either--don't leave us in suspense! what is the name of the suspect crab!!!!!

We purchased live rock (from another site) which came in wet newspaper and water double bagged in a styrofoam box. We were IMMENSELY happy that we cured the rock at home in an old 20 gal with a powerhead, heater and a cheap little filter. There was a lot of debris, little shreds of newspaper...

I saw a suggestion to use a length of PVC pipe to "drop" the sand down at the base of the tank without so much clouding. Hope this helps!

We go to Aquatics Unlimited, too, we also like a little local guy who owns the Fish Factory on 92nd and Oklahoma in Milwaukee. Have just heard about the place on King Drive, will have to check it out. Haven't been to Hofers but I think its pretty big. We're a long way from the tropics, but...

Just when you think you have seen everything your live rock has to offer..... tonight i noticed that some round (i thought) skeleton like things were not all skeletons at all--they look like the underside of a mushroom with striations--but some have translucent tentacle like "arms" waving...

my daughter and I both sign in on this BB, she is amyrosea. We live in Greendale, a Milwaukee suburb.

we are also seeing those white areas (not the powdery stuff, but like the pic posted) on curing live rock that we have had about two weeks. I thought it was all die-off, am relieved to learn maybe not. thanks.

We found it very helpful to search the internet, you would be surprised how many LR vendors there are. Some sell "seeded" rock, or "farmed" rock as opposed to just taking fragments, some vendors describe how they handle the rock after it is taken from the ocean, like do they put it directly in...

one big one was opening and closing as I was unwrapping the newspaper from our live rock shipment and it scared the sh** out of me! I was afraid to unwrap that piece for fear there might be a shark or something underneath! We got three or four in a 30# live rock shipment. Don't know what they...

ha! ha! from your post title I thought it was meant for message board members who are sometimes a little testy with one another!!

just don't ask weight!

5' 1" (used to be 5'2") wear a size 7 womens.

you can learn a lot about live rock by just doing an internet search and checking out the websites of all the various vendors--you can learn how different companies harvest their rock, who uses "seeded" rock, how they treat the rock after it is harvested (like keeping the rock in water vs...

we are curing a 30# shipment of LR which arrived yesterday, the water is so dirty looking! It is in a 20 gal long with PH, airstone and thermometer (no skimmer) Haven't tested the water, but wondering if we should be changing the water sometime before it is ready to go in the real tank. BTW...

tanks a lot!

I know this link has been posted many times, but I can't find that excellent link to a post about identifying hitchikers. Can someone give me a hand? thanks, dying to id the new things we got on LR

believe it when ppl say that damsels can get very territorial and aggressive. Green chromis are more docile but we have had one mean domino and some pretty nasty black and white striped ones, I think they are humbugs. We just took a blue damsel back to the lfs today. he was fine until the...

Thanks for the input, we decidend to go with all primo rock and mix in some dead lace rock we already have. We chose the kind of rock that is underwater from the time it is harvested, not the sprayed kind. Also, this rock is coming from a "farm" not from natural sources. Hope we made a good...
