Hey, was wondering if anyone was from Central Misssouri--for frag swaps?

Yes, the camel back thing I am wondering about? It was sold as Peppermint but they have a slight hump near the tail. I thought the Camel back had a more pronounced hump higher up. I've wondered from the start about this.

Skunk Cleaner Shrimp--if you don't spoil it by hand feeding it.

I just removed my emerald crap for nipping at corals. I have seen him try to grab my Cleaner Shrimp's antanae also. IMO it defeats the purpose of having janitors if you have to feed them. Sorry for your loss

If shrimp contain Iodine, then wouldnt feeding brine shrimp give them plenty of Iodine? I know everything goes crazy over brine shrimp including my shrimp.

After sitting and watching my Peppermint Shrimp eat my new Richordio mushroom for a few hours--I couldn't take it anymore. As someone suggested in another post, I built a trap. I cut a plastic soda bottle and flipped it around into a funel. I also cut the mouth a little bigger--because they...

I think that means that they might not eat your corals (if your trying to grow corals).

Im thinking about getting a Sailfin, I can't decide.

I went on vacation in Spain and saw tons of these up close to the coast. Unfortunately I was in the water trying to figure out how to get back on shore. They cause large boil like sores and you can't dig the spines out because they break apart. I think that was the last time I really cried...

Ouch!!! Good luck with the new fish. How big is your tank?

I think I have a Green Brittle Star. I was lowering a large rock from the LFS into the tank and it scared the crap out of me. I havn't really seen it since except for one arm sticking out of the back of the same rock it came in. It's been 3 weeks I hope it comes out someday.

I was watching a National Geographic tape the other day on natural reefs bleaching from a rise in temperature from industrial spill-off. Im sure that if it was spill-off raising the temp it could have also been a number of other things, However; they seemed to be REAL sure that it was the 5...

Ok, before I researched up on reef keeping. I had the crazy idea to layer the bottom of my tank with progressevly smaller grains of substrate. I started with large crushed coral and worked my way up with smaller sizes of argonite sand and finally fine grained live sand. I didn't wash any of...

What substrate?

Sounds like the small feather duster worms or cluster dusters. Some of them build hard little tubes.

Thanks everyone, Last night when I got home my cleaner shrimp had come out of hiding (just molted). I gradually turned the lights on to see the damage and the Ich was picked clean off all the fish. I know the Ich is still in the tank, but iv'e decided that with 300 gal. and only 6 inches of...

Assuming I find a way to get them out. Would it be ok to use a 10 gal that is currently freshwater? Drain it and add water from the allready cycled salt tank? Any Ideas on a DIY Fish Trap? Has anyone seen Ich go away on its own? Would it help to blind the tank? Feed Garlic?

I was wondering if there is any chance of Ich dissapearing on its own. I just bought 3 fish and made the mistake of putting them in my large tank of live rock. Later I noticed very mild Ich areas on the fin areas. These are the only three fish I have in a 300 gal tank. If the water quality...

Where can I find a list of corals that need higher nutrient levels. I have a xenia thats growing and zoanthids (Palythoa) that are looking good. My nitrate is 25 ppm or so. What are some other corals that need higher nutrients?

Thx I needed to hear that. I just purchased a Flame Angel that seems to be sampling everything in the tank but not destroying anything yet. I was hoping he didn't sample the shrimp.
