I have hermits and snails in with my porcg puffer. He loves to stalk them. I've had to replace some every few months as he likes his live snacks. Plus they are good for his beak.

My porc puffer stalks the snails and the crabs and then takes small nips at them until he get some of the shell off and then its goodbye to the crab or snail who was in the shell. :happyfish :happyfish

Thanks everyone for the help. I bought a bi color angel last week and it is currently in my QT tank. It strted eating the day after I bought it and seem OK for now. It seems to have a lot of personality and is allready coming to the front of the tank when I come near. :happyfish :happyfish

Welcome to the boards. The worm is probably a brsitle worm, it is beneficial to your tank. I noticed mine a couple of months ago when I moved some rock. It was about a foot long(this is small compared to some of the others I've heard about on this and other websites). Mine helps keep my sand...

Welcome to the boards. Sounds like you've got some experience with freshwater and are off to a good start with saltwater. I agree with the above posts. A good book that has really helped me and a lot of other people on this site is The Consscientious Marine Aquarist by Robert M. Fenner. Don't...

Welcome to the boards. This is a great place to learn and to balance what your LFS tells you. Some are great and some would sell you a relative for a $$. Please don't hesitate to ask any question. I heard this on this website when I first started and it was "The dumbest question is the question...

He is doing much better He ate some squid and clams tonight and was begging for attention from my daughter. She's 5 and puts her hand on the tank and he follows it all over the place even if he's just eaten. He wont do it for anyone else but her. She's even taught him to nod up and down...

Mine didn't do anything for about a week after I put the shrimp in then all of a sudden it went WAY up. Don't get discouraged. :thinking:

I fed him silversides and clams yesterday. The foxface was the last added to the tank and I have thought that maybe he was stung by the foxface even though they are buddies. Right now all three fish are resting in the same cave. He seems a little better this morning, he is stil alittle pale but...

The foxface and the clownfish are acting normal as usual

I fed my porc puffer earlier today and everything seemed normal. About an hour ago I noticed he was sittting on the bottom and gasping. He has also gone vey pale, extremely white in areas of his body. I've never seen this before!!! He is currently in a 150g tank with a foxface and a clownfish. I...

I'm possibly thinking about another yellow tang. The Lfs near me has one that has been there for 3 weeks now. It seems to be feeding well and looks healthy(Thanks V-lioness, I knew to check the eyes). :happyfish

I did have a yellow tang soon after getting this tank up and running, unfortunately I didn't realize that my tank needed to be really established for several months before it could support a tang. I should have done more research before I did this(OOPS). My tank has been up for almost a year...

I had a friend who really wanted an urchin for his tank. After careful acclimation, he put it in the tank and within minutes the porc puffer he also had in the tank was thanking him for the tasty snack and wanting more. I would suggest that this is not a good idea. :happyfish

If a tang what would be a good one to go with what I already have? :notsure:

So would a dwarf angel work or maybe a tang? :notsure: Any help would be appreciated.

Only one credit card to use on this hobby, OH my so much to learn. LOL

Just watch your temps. I live in So Cal and have probably simalar temps, maybe colder. I haven't yet had to use a chiller, but My AC works pretty well here.

No clown as in Nemo, even my LFS warned me off of the lion and puffer together as to many possibilities of future problems.

$199, WOW now I'm jealous
