Hiya, I suggest you take him back to the store. I had one in a non-established tank and he never converted to processed foods. He died about 3 months later. Meadbhb

Hiya, If it was a wild caught gramma, I wouldn't worry yet. If it was a tank raise...yeah, I'd be concerned. I bought a tank raised royal and the silly thing acted like he had been in my tank all his life. I always see him. He's never really picked out a "spot" to call his yet either. Meadbhb

Hiya, Nice set up. Those mushrooms look like hairy's. Can't help you with the sand bed....do you have a crew to clean it? Meadbhb

Hiya, Maybe he's trying to clean the fish? Meadbhb

Hiya, I put plankton in my tank just to easy my fears that I'll starve something. I've got feather dusters in there and I'm afraid there's some in the back or under the coral that I might see. As for the iodine. Don't put it in unless you test for it. Regular water changes should take care of...

Hiya, As Ophiura stated, PH, ALK and Calcium are all interrelated. So, you do need to test for it. Meadbhb

Hiya, I had a few aiptisa in my 37 gallon and bought one. He took care of them. Now I've got three and they're a hoot! No problems with them eating corals. Usually those are camel shrimp that cause coral issues. Meadbhb

Hiya, Also might want to check your calcium. Low calcium will lead to a low PH too. Meadbhb

Hiya, What Rubberduck said! Bristleworms only eat dead stuff. That's why they're so good for your tank, they're part of your clean up crew. Granted, if you find a bristleworm about a foot long...you might want to rethink keeping it ::Grin:: Meadbhb

Hiya, I've seen them eat macro and bubble algea. However, they've left my coraline algea alone. Meadbhb

Hiya, Probably a scrolling hammer. I bet they can come in different thicknesses. As for which one to get, depends on you. Which would you like to see in your tank? Care should be the same for both. Meadbhb

Hiya, Man! I'm sooo sorry to hear about this, but glad that you're safe. I had a friend who's house burned to the ground Christmas Eve. Lost everything, including his cat and over 300 lady gouldian finches. They think the tree caused it. I'm really interested in that power strip. I wonder...

Hiya, I seriously considered doing this in a 37 gallon. However, I decided against it, was afraid of fighting. In a 125 I bet you'd be okay. Try to get tank raised specimens. A little more epxensive, but soooo much hardier! I have a tank raised royal and he is as active as my damsels, is...

Hiya, Supposedly, they can't see a red light so won't run and hide while you're looking at them. Meadbhb

Hiya, Try a branching hammer or a bubble wall. Those may not get tall, but they can spread and take up room. Meadbhb

Hiya, I'm tossing around the pistol/goby pairing too. Not sure yet. Torn between putting an angel and six line in my tank or a six line and boy. Sigh....these will be my last fish for the tank, so I've got to think on it. Meadbh

Hiya, They do hide a lot. My LFS has one in it's display tank and you hardly ever see it. Meadbhb

Hiya, Unfortunately, from what I understand, the poor things are doomed. They don't do well in home aquariums. Meadbhb

Hiya, I have that same tank, a 37 gallon eclipse with the hood. They make a retro fit kit for the hood. My tanks been up for 7 months now and I haven't lost a single coral. Now fish on the other hand ::Grin:: Dumb mistakes. Meadbhb

Hiya, Sergents get really big and mean. Yellow tails are semi-agressive and can sometimes get along in a community tank. Dont know anything about the south sea. Meadbhb
