"Checked The Water And Everythings Is At Zero. " What kind of test kits are you using? How old are they? Kind of water (RODI or tap). Most importantly - what's your salinity at? edit: Oh yeah - what about PH?

PH is a bit low for my liking. I usually try to keep PH around 8.3. How old are the test kits? How old are the bulbs? What's the temperature of the tank? Generaly I would not reccomend picking up anything from the coast, especially something close enough to be exposed when the tide goes out...

Aside from it annoying the zoos, I don't think you have anything to worry about. I've seen clowns host in some weird things, toadstools, frogspawns, mushrooms, powerheads.

While an anemone can be "maintained" under PC lighting, it is truely not advisable to do so. i tried it, worked well for several months, nem colored up and everything. Then I switched to T5 lights and realized the anemone had not been doing as well as I thought. It then egan to grow, got a...

I agree it would be a slim chance an anemone ate a cleaner shrimp. Probably just the molt, you will probably see the shrimp again in a few days.

A picture would make it much easier to try to diagnose. Off topic but you said the tank is a month old and you already have corals, anemone, and fish? if this is right you may want to slow down a bit, at a moth you should probably be just introducing your first fish.

As much as I love a good anemone argument - I am going to try to help the original poster a little. MH bulbs should be changed much more frequently then every year and a half. change the bulbs but be sure to "light acclimate" the tank again afterwards, the spectrum the lights are giving off now...

T5s would be sufficient for lighting - at least a 6 bar for a 125 - I use a 6bar on my 75. The Nitrates on the other hand will give you just as much issue as light - well maybe not just as mch - anemones like pristine water conditions, nitrates starting at 30 ppm will only go up from there which...

The stringy white stuff is the mushroom guts, they will push them out if really irritated, have yet to figure out why. This is one of the problems with hermits. They crawl over everything. It probably isn't doing any harm to the mushrooms, just causing them stress, you can either remove the...

I'll jump in with my comments if yu don't mind. Yopu stated you already have 2 anemones in the tank, the stock lighting that came with your tank is a normal output T12 flourecent bulb - not sufficient for keeping anemones. They need very strong light. The chocolate chip star fish will eat...

Any "gel" type super glue will work. Both pieces do not need to be out of the tank. Dry off the bottom of the coral you want to glue and apply a generous bulb of super glu, when you put it in the water it will immediatly for a skin, just press it to the rock where you want it hard enough to...

I use a Wake2K in my 75. Pushes enough flow to keep the rock clean, the corals swaying nicely, the SPS happy, and gives the fish something to play in (the current). I couldn't imagine NOT having one now that I have it. I so also run a Koralia 3 and 4 just to cause more random chaotic flow but...

They do not stop goriwng when they run out of room. They generally will stress then split. have you checked under the rest of the rocks to see if it has already split? usually once they split both halves will hide and sometimes stay balled up until they heal - 2-3 weeks in general.

It could be a condi, but I do not think it is. Condis are generally not that "flowery" and expose more of the foot as opposed to sitting flat on the sand bed like that. All anemones will swell and subsequently deflate when they are place din a new environment, they are trying to acclimate their...
