Thanks for the response - to clarify - I am losing whole fish - last night a 3" percula clown. And no pieces - parts - fins or lips to be found. Before you say anything about lost in the rocks - I lost 8 fish ( 2 clowns, scooter blenny, 4 damsels and a psuedochromis). Not a spec of the corpse...

Please tell me you're making fun of me!!!!!!!! Do Mantis live in shells?? I hear people laughing at me already..............

Hey guys - need help identifying something in my tank. I have a crab like being that isn't one of the critters I purchased. It has two black with white dotted legs in front and blue-ish with red ringed legs otherwise. Should I be concerned?? Is it a normal crab?? Thanks in advance - back...

Superman - if you want it that bad - it's yours. Personally I'd rather stomp about $100 bucks out of his little a$$, but I guess I can live and let live as they say. Sduda - I am going off the advise of many others here who have said Mantis. All I can say is fish disappear. Gone without a...

Super - I'm having a problem with the decision of what to do with the little rascal. Right now as I count my loses the garbage disposal looks real tempting. Second choice was the big flush. But if I catch him - I'll let you know. Depends whether my tang and percula survive his ouster from the...

Ok - I'm convinced I have an unwanted house guest. Now has anyone got an easy way to catch the little SOB??? I've tried sitting in the dark for 2-3 hours and I never see anything. I'm using a flashlight with a red film covering to see by and the rest of the house is pitch black dark. I put...

UPDATE! Well last night I lost my striped damsel and I think my scooter blenny. All that's left to eat in the tank is the yellow tang and the percula and a couple of snails. Maybe I just have to starve the little [hr] out when all the fish are gone. Frustration isn't even a strong enough word.

So I guess the next magic question is...........drum roll............ HOW DO YOU GET THE LITTLE SOB OUT??? Thanks for all your responses. I was told this was a very good site for info. I appreciate all the responses - I was beginning to tire of this saltwater fantasy already. Losing the money...

I got my live rock at a local Kansas City fish store. They have the reputation as the best around. I have 40# of base rock and 35# of live rock - mostly Fiji type I think. I was well cured and I didn't have any problems when I added it to my tank. Mantis Shrimp. I will research. Will the...

Let me clarify - I may have mis-led the number of fish. First off - the reef cleaner package I bought was: 10 Turbo Snails 2 Peppermint shrimp 2 sand sifting sea stars 8 scarlet reef hermit crabs 6 dwarf blue leg hermit crabs The crabs are about dime sized in their shells - small. Let's take my...

Ok - here's another story I'm sure you've heard. I have a pretty new 75 gal. reef setup - 2 months old. I started with live rock and live sand. Water is running great. I run a Tetratec 500, Seaclone protein skimmer and 2 powerheads. Good water movement and filtration. Alk, ammonia, PH...
