I have a Long Nose in my 26g along with shrimp and other inverts. No problems. Great fish! Red

I'm looking at the SeaChem test kits and the Hagen Master kit. Any thoughts on either? BTW, for Calcium I use Salifert. Thanx, Red

Cyrano, my long nose hawkfish has been in my tank for just over a week. He was properly acclimated and my water parameters are good. Problem... he doesn't seem to eat; at least not when I feed the other fish. I use a home made mix of goodies that include seafood mix blended well. I have also...

I have a number of white or cream colored balls that look kind of fluffy and have a single opening in the top. They are attatched to the rocks. Any ideas? Thanx, Red

I have one vote for Xenia Elongata.;) Any others?

I have a CSL SmartLite. It has 2x65 watt PC. The lamp is about 12 inchs above the coral.

haven't seen them "pulse". Not like the much smaller pulsing Xenia. The tallest stalks are about two inchs long up to the fingers and then the fingers are another 1.5 inchs. If they aren't happy, you sure wouldn't know it, they are growing like a weed.

Here are a few pics

I have a pink-ish coral in my tank that has grown from a small frag my friend gave me. I don't have a picture yet, but I am working to get one posted. It has a multiple long, thin stocks, and eight fingers with little nubs on the fingers. It doesn't pulse; just kind of waves in the current...

Acclimation went on for a few hours while I dripped the bucket it was in. But I did do a 15% water change the same day I put him in. He seemed fine for a few days, but then was gone. I'm going to guess that I should not introduce new live-stock on the same day I do large water changes???

Spiney, my tuxedo urchin was found today. He didn't make it. Water conditions are right on, food "seemed" available. He moved around the tank for a few days and then disappeared. I found him this morning. Are Tuxedos not a very hardy urchin? Should I not have put him in a four month old...

It's thin, its translucent green, and it's "leafy". Any idea what it is? It is just growing randomly hear and there. Thanx, Red

Bought a tuxedo urchin last week. He moved around the tank for a few days on the glass and the rockwork... then he disappeared. I haven't seen him in three days. Looked everywhere I can see. I have a backing on my tank and I didn't move the rocks, but I figured he'd move into someplace I...

Are there any that do not? A Tuxedo maybe???

Bought a Pincusion urchin last week and over the weekend my macro algae disappeared. I have the grape cluster macros; can't remember the name. Do urchins eat macros? Thanx, Red

it's a Pincushion. It really messed up my tank while I was gone this weekend. Pulled over rocks. Stuck a Feather Duster to it's back. And I think he ate all my macro algaes. He's going back to the LFS!!!

I bought a small, 1.5 inch, urchin tonight that my LFS guy said was a globe urchin. Doesn't have the nice blue strips, but does have short purple "spikes" that have all kind of shells and stuff clinging to it. Any other urchins you can think of that don't have the blue strips, but have stuff...

How do I go about getting pods? I don't see any in my tank. Thanx, Red
