    Aptasia or Curly Q Anenome

    I currently have a CBS, but would trade him in to get some peppermints. How many can you put in a tank? If it's just one I'll keep the CBS as he's gotten huge and is really active in the tank. Thanks!

    Aptasia or Curly Q Anenome

    Hello all: I thought I had aptasia, but now I'm not so sure. I called the local fish store and and discribed it as: a clear multi tenacled specimen whose tentacles looked like they had spirals in them. He asked if that was the only one in the tank and I said yes. He then informed me that if it...

    Disappearing Starfish

    Yeah: It was in there for about a week and was crawling all around the tank and then poof! It was gone. I do have a tone of crabs so I'm sure they made a meal out of it. Real bumper as it was a really pretty star fish. R.

    How to trap a killer crab?

    I've read that the plastic bottle technique works well. Get a plastic bottle (one with a wide mouth). Put food in it, tie a string around the neck. Place in tank and watch the the creature go in the bottle then yank it up. Hope that helps.

    Roaming anenome

    So if I have to I can "peel" him off? Do I need gloves? I've heard they can sting, I never had to touch him when I put him in the tank. Thanks.

    Roaming anenome

    Hello all: I have a carpet anenome who has moved from the front to the back (where he stayed for about 3 weeks) and now over night he climbed to the top of my live rock and opened up REAL wide. This all looks great, but when he's open it blocks my lighting to some coral frags underneath. I think...

    Rose Anenome $$

    Speaking of anenome's what is the best for a Percula Clown? I've got a mushroom, but they haven't really taken to it. It seems, but like the bubble tips. Thanks.

    How many hrs of light

    Thanks! I guess I have mine on for about the right amount of time. I'm trying to promote some coral fragments that I bought from SWF to grow.

    How many hrs of light

    Hello all: I was curious as to how much light you all give you tank each day. I have Power Compacts and they are on a timer. I'm trying to mimick an actual day (ie. 10 hrs of light), but have it set up so that the 10 hrs kicks in at 10:00 am so I can enjoy it at night. Thanks.

    Anenome

    Hello: I recently changed the direction of my power head to try and get my anenome to move. He did move to the other side of my tank, but now he's closed up. Before he had opened really wide. Do you all think he's ok?!?

    Moving anenome

    Hi all: I recently bought a carpet anenome for SWF and am quite happy with him (it). He moved up next to my glass over night and now all I can see is his underside with the top of him facing the back of the tank. Is there a safe way to move him so that I can actually see him? I bought a...

    One more fish

    Any suggestions about the damsel? I had him in the tank to cycle and feel bad about just flushing him. Anyone in the Atlanta area here want one?

    One more fish

    Yeah I noticed the damel harassing my clown fish. I ordered an anemone for SWF and am hoping it will be here tomorrow. Hopefully that will give the clowns some protection. I'll check into some of the suggestions. Thanks! :cool:

    One more fish

    Hello all: I'm trying to wrap up the fish in my tank and wanted to ask a question: I've gota 30 gallon tank with about 25 pounds of LR. I have one blue damel and two clown fish. I was thinking of added a yellow tang to complete a really colorful tank. Do you all think this will be ok? I didn't...

    Ideal cleaners

    Hi all: I'm finishing up a new tank. Right now it's only live rock and a couple of damels. I recently bought a coral banded shrimp and love the fella. I'm looking at getting a more well rounded clean up crew and was wondering if you all could recomend some cleaners that go well with the CBS. The...
