    Interesting anemone at my LFS

    This is a picture of a curly Q and it doesnt look like anything like that. The tentacles are MUCH shorter (not even an inch long) and curl upon themselves like the picture from wikipedia.

    Found this online, looks just like that but much smaller (probably still a baby).

    Interesting anemone at my LFS

    I'd like to buy this anemone, but I'd like to get an ID on it. From what I was told it was collected in the gulf of california (warm water pacific) and has been in captivity for 3 years (a victim of a tank takedown due to the economy). Open it is the size of a silver dollar and 1/4 inch thick...

    School of clowns?

    I was wondering, being I'm prepping my next tank, can I have a large enough group of clowns that they wont fight? The LFS has a mass of clowns in their coral display tank, I think its something like 50 of them, its a sight to see, especially when there are like 20 of them in the BTA together...

    Puffers and what else?

    I have a 56 gallon, 30x18x24, I'm considering making it into a FOWLR and being coral-free Im thinking mostly fish that aren't reef safe. Can you put more than 1 puffer in a tank? I was thinking a snowflake eel, a couple of valentini (or other small) puffers. I'm also considering a foxface...

    30 Gal Stocklist Help Please?

    Welcome back sweetie, I'm on my way back as well. One thing you might consider (I think anyway) is a snowflake eel. I don't think it'll bug you lion one bit and they are neet (I had one before, and might get one again). Long nose hawk is on my short list for my current tank too :)

    More than a pair?

    I just got a pair of percula/ocellaris hybrid clowns (so I was told) and was wondering, I know you cant have more than 1 type of clown except in large tanks, but can I have more than 2? I was just thinking about adding a na-ked or black/white later. Cant put na-ked right here, yet they sell...

    Suggestions please?

    I have a 56 gallon, 30 side to side, 18 front to back, 24" tall. Can some of you fine people suggest a nice FOWLR setup for me? One thing I'd like to have is a snowflake eel, but if you have an awesome set of fish that can live with in the 30" tank, but wont live with a snowflake, then have at...

    sps in a nano

    I did a DIY MH build that cost me less than $50 plus a bulb (if you order Chinese bulbs off that bay store, make sure you order 20K because the 14K bulb is a 10K visually...but cant complain for less than $5 shipped)

    Stocklist help pretty please

    Tank is a 20 gallon "high" I know for sure I want a pair of percula clowns. I'd also like a "group" of fire fish, but need some help deciding about keeping them in an open top tank. I'd also like a green clown goby and eventually a Mandarin. Any other suggestions are welcome (especially if the...

    Saltwater vs Freshwater

    I can say Fresh is easy, and some of them can be pretty, my "failed reef" is now a 56 gallon african cichlid tank with 50 pounds of "premium base rock" and they are happy (and base rock keeps my pH in the 8s) but that tank doesnt hold a candle to my 20 gallon reef that isnt even 1/10 done. Just...

    Fish question for 20H

    Im looking at fish for my new 20H and I like the dartfish (firefish or blue gudgeon) can anyone tell me about these fish, mainly in an open top tank.... I've heard they are jumpers, but i've also heard its mainly when there are wrasses in the tank. Any help is appreciated.
