Everyone on the MB was so helpful when I set up my 55 gal reef tank 2 years ago so I am hoping you will once again be generous with your suggestions and help. I am trying to set up my new Nano Cube 12g Deluxe. I went ahead and purchased a new Maxi Jet 900 for increased circulation, the surface...

I need a snail id. I found this guy hitchhiking with some items I received. I have him in a separate container at the moment but I am not sure what he is nor do I know if he is good or bad. He is oval shaped, blue "shell" with black body and does not like the light. I will post several pictures...

I purchased a nice RTA 2 days ago. When I placed him in the tank he attached immediately to a rock and seemed content. Next morning (yesterday) he ate a piece of shrimp. Today I noticed that he started to "let go" of the rock. 2 hours later he let go completely and is now upside down on...

My tank is being taken over by small fan worms - both brown and white casings. I realize these are considered good but I have too many and I want to get rid of them. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is there a fish that likes to snack on them so they stay under check? Thanks in advance for...

Can someone ID this soft coral for me? I am thinking about purchasing it but would like to have a definite ID before buying. This way I can look up it's care information (feeding, lighting, location etc). Thanks

I have had this Bubble Tip anemone for 1 month. For 2 weeks he was doing well. Then be moved to other side of the rock at the back of the tank - lighting is not as strong where he placed himself. Since then, all of his tentacles are shrinking - the longest ones are only a stringy 1/4 inch...

I purchased a brittle starfish (black w/spikes) on Tuesday. Acclimated him slowly for 2+ hours. Placed him in the tank and he "ran" under a rock with a few arms hanging out. Yesterday morning he was in the same position. Under same rock and arms in same place - never moved. I slightly...

I have been debating this for some time........... Should I add a bristle worm to my tank? My LFS has a few small ones and he is willing to give one to me. After reading as much as I can I can't decide if I should add one on purpose. :notsure: Tank is 30 gallons and just over 2 months old...

Is is OK to use different salt brands or should you always stick with the same one? (for water changes) Thanks

Yep - I was effected by the earthquake. I live approx 50 miles south on the coast in Arroyo Grande. I was not home at the time but my boys were. I was coming out of Starbucks with my cup of hot chocolate and I felt my legs wobble. Then I heard it coming! I walked as quickly as I could on...

Yesterday I purchased a single Striped Metallic Mushroom - not attached to a rock - from my LFS. I placed it on the "spot" I wanted it to attach too. Had to leave the tank for a few minutes and when I got back it was gone. Now I can not locate it in my tank without a major remodeling of the...

This is making me question my sanity.......... Simple math............... 6 weeks ago purchased 6 scarlet hermit crabs. All were immobile but peaked out of their shells. - Approx 1 week later none were peaking out of shells. - 1 crawled out of it's shell and died. - Did a 25% water change...

Does anyone have any information on a Spiny Ball Sponge? The picture I attached is a scan from the book "Reef Invertebrates" by Anthony Calfo & Robert Fenner page 150. Sorry the scan is so bright. I have a few of these on my rock. I assume that they were part of the rock until I noticed a...
