    I have some sort of fungus on my rock

    Here it is. I know it's not the best but my camera ran out of battery power and I couldn't use flash. The spots on the red 'fungus' are a little more greenish than yellowish, and all of them seem to have a defined center. It looks like there are 3 violet ones and 5 red ones. They appear to...

    I have some sort of fungus on my rock

    One of my live rocks has recently sprouted some sort of fungus. It looks like a round fungus that you might see on trees. It has two purple ones and three red ones with tiny yellowish spots...unless that's sand on them. They're about the size of dimes right now or smaller. I guess you can...

    Emerald crab question...

    Correction, this thing appears to be around 3" wide from leg to leg. I've had emerald crabs before, but nothing like this. I'm getting hungry. It's a deep, shiny shade of green and almost looks like glass. I also just saw another one for a split second and it's not much bigger than when I...

    Emerald crab question...

    I bought 9 emerald crabs from this site a while back. They were all smaller than dimes, legs and all. I watched them float to the bottom and pick at some algae for a while, and that's the last I saw of them. So about 2 months later I see one of them, and it's HUGE! I'm talking at least 50 cent...

    My First Salt Water Tank (125g) Diary....Feedback Please

    That looks really good. It would be perfect if you could find a way to hide the PVC bridge in the middle. I hope you keep us updated as it grows. How are your maroon and percula clown fish getting along? My perculas killed a maroon I added last year. First the maroon attacked them, and then...

    My Queen Angel Just Arrived!!!

    I loved the Queen Angel I used to have. I lost her and my coral beauty when my system crashed overnight. They are a very friendly fish, and yes they eat a lot.

    Can a stingray sting you by accident?

    Rays tend to "tame up" when raised around and fed by humans, so I doubt it would get spooked enough to strike you intentionally. At the national aquarium divers swim with the sting rays all the time and they're like puppy dogs. I'd use caution but wouldn't be afraid of it. But this is coming...

    Who does NOT have hermits?

    So they just kill it for the shell? I wonder if adding bigger empty shells would keep them occupied, or if they like them fresh.

    The always elusive purple reef lobster

    That reminds me of a fire shrimp I used to have. I put him in the tank and saw him for the first couple days, then he seemingly disappeared. A month later, still no signs of him even at night. So after another month went by I bought another one. A week later, I saw two fire shrimp peeping in...

    I was going to order one of those from here but I'm not sure if he'd get along with an orange firefish.

    Jumper

    LOL. My gobies used to do that constantly. I had one diamond back goby dry up, and I found my firefish goby alive on the floor two times. He's still doing fine. I'm now extra careful to close the top after feeding.

    Can someone explain flow?

    What's low, medium, and high flow? I was told today that I need 1500 gpm in a 75 gallon tank. What level of flow would that be?
