Any chance you want to get out of the cold and make a trip to sunny Arizona? We haven't had any rain for over 3 months . . . and obviously no snow.

Excellent pictures! Keep up the good work!

Here is mine, up and running a little over a year. Converted from a FOWLR to reef some time last spring.

Mimzy - Yes, I do reach into the tank, but I've been trying to do it infrequently as possible so I don't scare Owen until he really settles in and starts to recognize me. So far, just for his first water change, some algae scrubbing (getting a magnafloat soon), and to put his food tub in. I...

Just to give you an idea of what he does with these little clams, here is a picture of the shells. They start out completely closed and are roughtly the half the size of a dime. When he is done the shell is completely empty and left spread wide open.

ruaround and fishieness beat me to it, but I agree with their answers. However, people have had success keeping stars with octos. I tried my first attempt at a "trick" tonight. I punched holes in a cleaned out cream cheese dish and its lid. I put 2 clams and a piece of LR rubble inside the...
