Thanks guys. I thought it was a button polyp, however it never grew or reproduced. Everything else in my tank it taking off and starting to grow out of hand (Xenia and Green Star Polyps in particular). So I thought I may have something else entirely. Thanks for your time again!

Bang Guy, Could I talk to you off line about this? My e-mail is tjkohler@yahoo.com I'd like to get this clam, and I'm even up for doing the bucket thing ... I'm just not sure how to do it so that the water params are all equal and I don't shock the clam. Thanks for your time.

I've been asked to rescue a 2" squamosa clam. However, I only have 2x35 watt PC lights. The guy wants to either give it to me or sell it to one of the LFS in the area. He'd rather give it to me, but I'm not sure I could give it what it needs. I will be getting my 75 gallon up and running by or...

Dang, I wanted the Harliquin. I don't like the looks of the broken back/sexy in the above picture. I do like the looks of the Harliquin in the above picture though. I love shrimp because there's not much of a bioload coming from them and they move around alot. So I may change my mind, but...

Jon, Would the harliquen stay out in view? My sig has my 10 gallon itemized pretty well. I love the look of these guys but thought they were supposed to eat starfish so I've never got one. Would he, in your opinion, be happy in my 10 gallon? My 75 will be up and running by, or right after...

Ok, my Green Star Polyps are adding a row every 5 days or so. I can see this quickly becoming a problem. I placed the original mat on my nice 18 lb piece of LR. I'd like to 'prune' it back and place a couple pieces on some ugly pieces of rock that I got to put frags on (each has about 15 square...

I thought they ate Starfish? Aren't harliquen shrimp (sexy shrimp) the ones that eat starfish?

Ok, I've got 3 more things to get for my 75 gallon tank to be up and running 1) Stand/Canopy 2) Lights 3) Return Pump. Reading up on the Mag-Drive 12 I see that at a 5 foot height (4 foot + 1 for a 90 degree elbow) that I should get 1100 gallon per hour. That's 1 gallon every 3 seconds and a...

I'm sure it isn't aptasia. It's some type of polyp/zooanthid.

This thing orignates inside the hole of the LR. It completely recedes at night. No colony or anything. Will it grow into a colony or is it just a single 'thing'. Thanks for your time.

This thing has been out for the last couple days. I haven't added any rock since I started the tank back in the first week of August. What is this? Thanks for your time.

Tag, I'd like to know this also.

My 75 gallon will be going up between now and Christmas. I'm starting my list of fish I'll have in it. It will be a reef tank with various coral and eventually clams. Mostly inverts in the tank. Must have fish: Manderin (I'll have a 30 gallon refuge going to help supply pods, if my pod...

Thanks Slothy, that's the reason I will always post questions about potential inhabitants even if everything I've read said they are great or reef save. So many people here have had personal experiences.

I'm going to pick it up (since I don't have any preditors I won't need an anenome right) so I'll get a crappy picture of it tonight or tomorrow.

In the tank at the LFS he looks black with blue flecks. He's got the exact same body shape as a porcelein and has the little 'nets' to catch things in the water. The LFS he wasn't a porcelein though and called him an anenome crab. I don't think that's right. Is it? Thanks for your time.

I thought there wsn't supposed to be any airline hooked up to the powerhead or the skimmer. Isn't that what the Venturi 'thingie' is for? Right now I just have the powerhead hooked up to the input of the skimmer. I probably don't have enough gph going through there. Any other thoughts?

Ok, it's a used skimmer, normal setup with a Venturi 'valve' thing. I've got a Maxijet 1200 powerhead as a pump for it. How do I set up the Venturi valve so it starts making bubbles? How quickly should it be making bubbles? I'm turning the little screw and I can't get it to start bubbling...
