I also have a fire, cleaner, and coral banded shrimp in my tank. The coral banded lives towards the bottom of the tank in a cave, and the cleaner and fire shrimp live in the rockwork towards the top. I haven't seen any scuffles yet, although the coral banded did punch at the fire shrimp when it...

Originally Posted by Waterlogged Some people say every tank has ich and healthy fish just don't get it. I would think though you are going to have to do more than just a cleaner shrimp. I'm not sure about that. When I set up my tank at this house 7 years ago I didn't have any problems. About...

An anemone or two will be next on my list. My two perculas would flutter arround in the long hair algae I had before my inverts ate it all. I think they want a safe place to hang out.

Are anemones corals? If so, I learned something else today. I've had nothing but good experiences with this site. Everything has been healthy and disease-free. One of my compaints however is that some things are really small. The cleaner shrimp I received in my last order is the size of a...

I selected 50 hermit shells for my free item. I got them, and the mushrooms. There were no corals on my free items list. At least one good thing came of this: it excited my interest in getting more corals. I already had one low light coral as an experiment to see if my water was ready to go...

They're definitely not on the invoice. I even checked my credit card statement and it reflects everything I paid for, which didn't include this. Right now I have 4 65 watt PCs, two 10k and two actinic, but I have some t5s on order from ----. I'm not sure why they haven't gotten here yet. I'm...

Thanks, Mike. I just hope they survive. They're doing really well today, all reaching up and looking good. The only thing I can figure is that SWF.com couldn't sell the rock because it had more than one variety of mushroom on it, so they gave it away. I didn't notice any "combo packs" on...

Ok, he finally admitted that he put them in the tank. Now I feel extra dumb. He said the bag read "blue moss"? He must have meant mushroom. But I definitely didn't order it, nor was I charged for it. I hope they live.... *wonders how big they get*

Ok, you have a grand system there. Let me tell you what I have: 75 gallon tank Fluval 404 canister Remora hang-on skimmer That's it, plus some powerheads. And you know what? NOTHING in my tank dies. In fact, everything grows like wildfire. Everything in my tank becomes super-sized in no time...

Also, does anyone have any idea what kind of mushroom corals they are? I just searched through the site and I didn't see any quite like them, yet alone a two-fer-one deal on shrooms. I'll post the results in the morning after I have a chat with someone...

I have a small female spotted box fish. Would she be a threat to them? She hasn't bothered them so far. All she does is pester the shrimp to be cleaned.

Holy crap, it even has a tiny feather duster on it! I just saw it poking out. *goes insane* I think you're right, Mike. I just looked at the back side of the rock and there's a huge red one that looks like it's reaching up. I didn't know these things moved. There are also tiny red ones all...

Actually I've had the turbos, 9 emeralds, 10 hermits, and other conch for a couple months now, and they've been working on the rocks. If you look at the tank as a whole, all the live rocks on the top of the main rock are sparkling clean. It must be the good stuff. I'm going to have a talk with...

I assure you that no one added this to my tank. Most of the LR on top of the 'cave' looks newer because my recently purchased turbos are working on them first, so they don't look as dingy. I did get an order from this site yesterday and my brother added it to the tank. It was a firefish, queen...

I just snapped these. I'm not sure if I can do any better with this camera. The violet ones (they look more blue in the pics) seem to have iridescent qualities with different shades of colors here and there.

I have no idea where they could have come from, but I was sort of leaning in that direction. They seem to have sprouted up over night whatever they are. This is the first day I've noticed them at least. Maybe they hitch-hiked into my tank on a snail's shell? I'll try to get some better pics...
