I just bought a Copperband on the 11th of February and it took a few days to start eating. I let some mysis shrimp thaw out then add a few drops of garlic and Zoe. It was hesitant at first but now is eating pretty good. I also have alot of aptasia on my rocks and it hasnt even touched any of it.

That looks like a red thorny starfish. Supposedly they are one of the harder starfish to keep from what I hear. I have had mine for about a year now and it is doing great. It has never touched my coral or any inverts. Every now and then ill feed it a cube of krill or squid.

My brother has had one for about six months now and it eats like a pig. When he first introduced him into his tank he got some empty snail shells and stuffed them full of a variety of foods then soaked them in garlic. Im not too sure on what exactly he fed them but I think it was prime reef...

He does a 5 gallon water change every wednesday. I dont have the specific numbers but he took them to the local fish store and everything tested perfect they said. What kind of antibiotics should I treat him with? I have something called Melafix, would that work, it is for treating bacterial...

My brother has a clown trigger that he has had for two years now. Just recently it has been acting strange. He is generally pretty active but now he just seems to be laying around and his appetite has diminished quite a bit. He had his water tested and everything is perfect and today he...

Well its been two days since I have had him in my tank and now his eye is all cleared up. The closer I looked at him it looks like the "spots" on his fin is from him trying to hide underneath live rock. For those of you out there with yellow tangs are yours really shy and timid? I hardly ever...

I just took in my brothers yellow tang that he has had for about one week. It wasnt doing well in his tank because his other fish are aggressive. This was causing him alot of stress and now his left eye is cloudy and his dorsal fin is turning like a reddish brown in a spot. What is this and...
