    What to feed Hammer Coral

    I already add in Phytoplex, but what I was wondering is if I should feed him chopped shrimp or silversides or something like that. If I should then how, I cant find a mouth on these suckers. :D :D :D :D

    gobie burying everything!

    I have never heard of a sand sifter killing your DSB, I always believed they were good detritus cleaners and good at removing algea and cyanobacteria from the sand surface. If you have a real DSB how could they eat deep enough to kill off the sand bed. Mine only eats down about a half inch.

    Easy medium ight corals/inverts

    Well first off no matter what I would say get a lot more live rock, and maybe a inch or more of sand, trust me it really pay's off in the long run. As for the corals and inverts, yellow polyps, most mushrooms, and leather corals will probably do good. All of them are really pretty and should...

    calcium

    I really like Kents Turbo Calcium, it is kind of tricky on how much to use so if you decide to use it talk to your LFS about it. I really like it, it really keeps the hair algea down and I am noticing a lot more coraline algea growth.

    gobie burying everything!

    I have a dragon goby and he does the same thing. It really pisses me off when he covers my open brain with sand. Mine has been doing it for about a month now and he doesn't show any signs of stopping. They are great cleaners and fun to watch but man the sand stuff gets old. :)

    I Need A Good Algae Eater!!!

    I would say start adding in a lot of calcium. I had a horrible problem with algea when I started my tank but I started using Kets turbo calcium and it has dramatically reduced my algea, and it is great for my tank. If you decide to use Kents talk to your LFS about it because the stuff is...

    I hate my Damsels

    The only way I could ever get mine out was to take out most of my rock and pin them in a corner. It sucked trying to do this but it worked.

    highly amusing to watch

    Is your anemone closed up and little looking. If it cant stay attached to anything then I would say tank it back to your LFS. They may take it back since you just got it. Anemones belong on rock and are not free drifting creatures.

    calcium?

    Your seahorse may need calcium. I am not sure aobut this but I know they have a hard outer skeleton that gives them protection so they may need the clacium to keep this exoskeleton hard. I am adding Kent's Turbo Calcium to my tank and I love it. It keeps the hair and slime algea down and has...

    About your hitchiker, does it quickly retract into your rock when you touch it. If it does then I would say it is a feather duster. I have a peice of rock that has nearly 40 feather dusters on it and let me tell you they all look different. Several of them seem to have long straight arms with...
