I also have pulsing zenia, cinnamon polyps (although it is not on these, just the dragon's eye polyps), a gorgonian, orange and green ricordea. Does look flat . . . what is flat worm and please don't tell me the outbreak happened by overfeeding - my biggest downfall.

Can anyone identify this? It started on the rock, a little at a time, but has now spread rapidly to the sand, snail shells, and is smothering the polyps. I have a 40gal saltwater tank, about 4 years old. I thought it was a coral, except the individual "things" are similar in size and look...

What if it is slimy?

Here's my humble 40gal stretch hex . . .

Stinks - since I bought them for $35 from the LFS . . . Thanks for the ID though - no clicking noises which is why when the chromis went AWOL I sort of suspected these guys . . . but without knowing exactly what they were, didn't want to do them in unnecessarily.

Can anyone identify these? They started out small - two on a small piece of rock and in 6 months I now have about 9 with quite a few growing very large. Also, does anyone know if they eat small fish . . . I do feed them misys shrimp, but since they have been in my tank, I've ended up missing...

Can anyone give me any ideas on how to remove one fish from my 40 gal stretch hex. I have two clown fish that have taken residency under some live rock and one I believe has developed Brooklynella . . . all the forums say to remove the fish and do a fresh water dip . . . the problem is that...

Does anyone have any experience with Fission skimmer? I have been looking at the Coralife SS - I have 40gal stretch hex . . . looking for a reliable, dummy-proof HOT skimmer. Any advice is well appreciated!

Where are you located?

thanks for the information . . . I don't have anything real "expensive" in the tank, but me and my family are so attached to what's in there . . . didn't want to take a chance. Now that you mention it, the water in the tank is not clear, even after changing the carbon filter. Im going to...

I have a 40gal stretch hex with live rock, a few corals and fish. I have an Emperor filter that hangs form the back of the tank that I used on my old tank. The biowheel is about 7 years old now and besides being grungy it does not spin as fast as it used to. I have cleaned the filter housing...

I have a 40gal stretch hex with live rock, two clowns, one chalk basslet, one turfmower blenny, 4 chromis, one oyster, one gorgonian and an odd assortment of mushrooms and sponges . . . I just upgraded my lighting to the following and am wondering if this is enough lighting for some of the...

What are those things? I have them in my tank, but they are white? Will they spread - do I need to worry about them?

I think the last verdict was mantis shrimp . . . it apparently cut her clown fish who then later died. It only came out at night and had one large claw that it would "click". . . science fiction movies don't even come close to this one!

Hey guys - love this site! Here's a pic of my humble 40gal stretch hex my husband bought me for my birthday in December (my 40th!). Does anyone know how to frag the gorgonian?

Tank looks beautiful.

My friend had a tank setup up for about 6 months and she kept having fish die - sometimes the fish showed disease, sometimes they just died . . . they seemed very stressed. In fact, all the fish in her tank seemed stressed. One night she heard a "clicking sound" coming from the tank and when...

No - only carbon in the system is anything coming through the overflow filter.

I've changed the filter repeatedly about every 2 weeks for the last 6 weeks thinking I would filter out whatever it is, but that is not the case.

Everybody is not too close - I have 35gal hex tank with an overflow filter on the back. I've noticed this growing for some time, but did not think it was this aggressive. I currently have mushroom corals on one rock and the other rock has a multitude of corals and mushrooms on it, including...
