    Shrimp

    I went to purchase some new shrimp today, but I was told that camel back shrimp are not safe for corals and that coral banded shrimp may eat other shrimp! I have 2 very small peppermint shrimp and a cleaner shrimp already. I also have mushrooms and a sun polyp. Can I have either or these...

    Help with Mushrooms

    I am still trying to figure that out, I am thinking it is from overfeeding, I purchased new sun coral that I was feeding everyday, I have cut back to every other day and I also had a snail decompose(not sure that would make a difference).

    Help with Mushrooms

    Ammonia was 1.5, I am testing again right now, have to wait 20 min. and my tank has cycled, it is 4 months old. I was also reading that they should be placed on the bottom first????? I didn't do that, would that help?

    Help with Mushrooms

    Today I noticed that my mushrooms looked really bad, all shriveled up with white stringy things coming out. My ammonia was a little high, but I have done water changes. My salinity is a little low at 1.023, working on this also, but could this be the cause of the mushrooms poor health???????

    High Ammonia

    They are still very little, about 2 inches, top. I have been trying to get them out for 2 weeks now, they are impossible to catch. I don't care for them and want to return them to LFS. So, a larger cleanup crew? What should I add?

    High Ammonia

    I had a snail die and it decompossed in the tank. Could this be the reason. The ammonia spike scared me last night, but today my cleaner shrimp molted! Isn't this a good sign??????

    High Ammonia

    Oh yes, it has cycled! It is 4 months old, and yes, I should have done a water change sooner, once a week, which is why my ammonia has spiked, I think! I do have water going now for the water changes over the next few days. Thank you so much for the help.

    Hitchiker id

    I have recently noticed a green branch type thing coming off a piece of my life rock. It is 2-3 inches long and looks just like a tree branch. I tried to get a picture, but it is too far in the back of my tank to get a good one. Any ideas?
