I have what appears to be bubble algae, at least by looking at all the pictures I've seen posted here. Is this stuff like rock hard to the touch:notsure: Thanks for any help.

It looks like I'm going to be a dad. One of my blue green chromis fish is looking rather plump and spending a lot of time hiding in the LR. Only comes out for food. Are they live bearing and what can I do to preserve any (assuming I'm right) of them? Main tank is a 125 reef with lots of LR...

I'm going to be setting up a QT and have a 55 gal that was a freshwater tank. It has some blue stains on the clear sealant that is from an ich treatment, plus it has some hard water stains on the glass. I was going to use vinegar on the hardwater stains or maybe scrape it with a razor blade...

I purchased my first anemone about 7 weeks ago. The LFS that I had been dealing with (and who wouldn't sell me other things that they thought wouldn't do well in my setup) sold me the BTA and said it should do fine. When I bought it, it was a light color almost white, but lately it has been...

I have a starfish (alleged by LFS to be a sand sifting star) that I found wrapped around one of my snails. This "sand sifter" has also been crawling around on the glass of the tank as well as burying itself in the sand. It looks different than the ones I'm used to as it has a "hairier" look to...

Just bought a long tentacled purple anemone a couple of days ago and my maroon clown has started nipping at it a little bit. I've heard that they sometimes do this to test the stinging power of the anemone to gauge it as a potential host? Any ideas/thoughts would be appreciated.

Yo Team; I bought a Squamosa Clam 2 weeks ago and noticed 2 very small hitchhikers on it. I've been researching the aptasia info and pictures, but these are so small about the size of a dime) it's hard to tell. From what I've been reading here, it wouldn't be possible for aptasia to come on a...

I just purchase a bubble tip anemone 2 days ago. It looked ok as far as I could tell, however since apparently it didn't like the place I put it in, it has become mobile. It moves at night and is now in a secluded place under an overhang so it's not getting a lot of light. When do I start...

I have a 125 gal that I'm in the process of converting to a reef tank. Have added LR and because it is 72" long have added a 72" Coralife Aqualight that has (2) 96 watt dual daylight and (2) 96 watt dual actinic (plus moon lights). Is this enough lighting for a 125?:thinking: Also have...

I've started a 12g nano tank 3 weeks ago w/15lbs LR and have added a few items, Frog Spawn, Button Polyps, Purple Mushrooms and Bubble Corral w/2 Skunk Cleaner Shrimp. I put a tiny amount of some flake food in about every 3rd or 4th day for the shrimp, what should I be feeding the corals?

I was wondering if anyone could enlighten me on a small fast moving bug I noticed on my LR this morning. I saw him darting around on the rocks right after I turned on the light and within a minute he disappeared. He was approx. 1/4" long appeared to be reddish in color. Any ideas?:notsure:

I'm converting my FO tank to a reef tank and was wondering if I need to take the bio balls out of my wet dry filter? I've asked two LFS and got two different responses. Thanks,:help:
