No the skin is not broken at all. It looks like a boil. In the past couple hours it has gotten larger. It is not warty looking in any way.

I think our Longnose Butterfly has a problem. Last night he was perfectly normal looking. This morning he has a large ugly boil-like lump on his right side beneath his eye. It looks reddish sometimes but the pictures I've (hopefully) included don't seem to show the redness. He's very active...

We have the Mexican blue leg crabs and Scarlet crabs. The scarlets are peaceful and hearty algae and detrius eaters. The bluelegs get rowdy with their own kind the larger they get. Our emerald crabs come out at feeding time and grab a nice big ole piece of cut up fish for themselves and run...

Your tank does look good! You asked what you could get for the tank, I believe :-) Do some research but I would imagine that a watchman gobie, a false percula clown or even a couple of small blue green chromis would look great in there. Don't overload with fish especially with just an 8...

I believe that if it's an anemone it's a pink ball anemone. They are pretty creatures but they DO multiply in your tank. When I researched the ones I'd found in my tank they were reported to have a pretty powerful sting. These only get about 1/2" max and they are pretty but they do multiply...

Thanks to each one of you for responding. We paid close attention to each response and checked with several of our local LFS's. I'm not kidding there must have been 10,000 flatworms in our tank. We removed all 8 fish and all the crabs and snails, brittle and serpent stars and put them in...

What kind of flatworms? All the searching I've done on flatworms have shown elongated worms. I have read that mandarin fish will eat flatworms would that be an option? LOL it definately wouldn't starve in the tank.

There are thousands of these creatures in our 180 gallon reef tank. They appeared about a month ago and have become an eyesore nuisance. What are these creatures and what will eat them? They are not a bacteria because they move under their own power. They are about 1/8" long and move if...

What kind of fish do you want? Hopefully you don't want larger fish as those will quickly outgrow your tank. How long has your tank been running? Assuming these are the first fish you are putting into your tank consider Cardinalfishes, or chromis. You can even do a couple of percula clowns...

Don't forget... YOU aren't the only one reading these posts. Maybe Dogstar et. al. were gently reminding you AND other readers about research. :-) I'm sure that you are a responsible reefer and sometimes we are offered an irresistable fish. We, too, went to the LFS knowing we would come home...

Pajama Cardinals are peaceful too. They just hang out alot but they are easy to keep and fun to watch.

Yeah, but wasn't it nice for them to respond? ROFL!!!

Dogstar and BangGuy got it right. I DID have the wrong scientific name and DID misspell what I was looking for. I did get my info at the site on HatesSushi's pic AND info but didn't post the pic and info because I was afraid this site wouldn't allow it. Acanthurus nigrofuscus is what I was...

it's Ctenochaetus Nigofuscos (That could be Nigofuscus) DUH!

I'm not trying to argue with anyone's answers, honestly! I've looked up the Acanthrurs nigrofuscus (aka brown tang) but the one I'm asking about and unable to find basic info on is the Ctenochaetus Rigofuscos. Can anyone direct me to the info? I've tried WWMedia and about 19 other sites and...

It's this one I'm looking for the info on. Thanks for the reply, tho! Anyone else??

Surfing around doing research I found a tang that has peeked my interest. Does anyone know about the Ctenochaetus Rigofuscos? It was listed as a Lavendar Tang. It is also known as a brown Something tang and also a palani? Tang. It is a bristletooth tang but I haven't been able to find any...

How large is it? Does it go into a rock or is it more on the surface? It looks like it could be a flower anemone. If so, they have a pretty hefty sting but don't tend to snatch fish. We got a flower anemone with our live rock shipment it's about 3" in diameter. Shrimp and crabs crawl across...

Thank you! I had all the research on the tangs I wanted and deleted the stupid stuff!

I've searched for a list of tang sizes and lost the site! Just how big does a Hippo Tang get, anyway?
