I was kinda thinking the same thing. It seems very skittish and hasn't bothered any other livestock. My new cuc is happy and healthy. The Aiptasia is lookin' not so happy now that I have the peppermint shrimp. It's hiding and looking a little nipped at.

OK so I have been reading everything I can about SW fish and tanks and I am learning lots. I made the mistake of listening to lfs and started out adding fish too soon and killed them. I have been testing my water daily and it has cycled and my levels have dropped back to 0 and I added 2...

Thank you so much. I appreciate all the help on this site. It seems I have lots to learn. But this is definately an addiction. I don't have any fish yet but still I look at my tank for hours at a time, looking at the creatures that came in on my live rock. I got my rock from my LFS and it is...

Actually the urchin came in my live rock and I didn't know it. So no, I just placed it in the tank and added the water. Not any particular temperature and it was never cycled. amazed it lived for 2 days. Unfortunately, I managed to kill it. I am reading so much on this site that I would never...

OK so I am going to get a couple peppermint shrimp to try to kill off the aiptasia. I think it is a limpet as well. The first picture looks like a sun coral and a astrangia. Do I need to feed it or what? And what requirements does it need?

Can anyone help me identify what is in my tank. It is a week old with live rock and I am curious as to what I have. There is a snail or clam or something in the middle picture and I am wondering what it is. The bottom picture in the center there is some kind of critter with long leggy looking...

So here is a pic of the new aquarium. I tested the water and ammonia was .75, nitrites.25 and nitrates around .25 Should I take the shrimp out now so I don't build it up too much or what. I really don't want to kill anymore of what I have. Here are a few more pics. I'd love any input on what ya...

Thanks for all the great advice. I added the shrimp to my tank yesterday and will test soon. Will this cycling hurt the live rock I have. It has some live coral, sponge and macroalgae on it?

Thanks do you then just put all the water in the tank? I thought you weren't supposed to add the water to the tank.

THANK YOU. I was going to wait and test but the salesperson told me to add fish right away. I thought that was too soon. So I can't kill the rock and sand?. I can just add a shrimp. that would be great. I have a good test kit so I will use that and keep up. I love this site. I have been reading...

OK I know that I am going to sound very stupid but I could use some real life advice. I just started a new saltwater aquarium. It is 22 gallons (I know it is small) I started with 20 lbs of live sand, 7 pounds of live rock. Water purchased from an aquarium store. I have the temp at 76 degrees...
