I actually had one, but he died I think due to lack of food. He started looking really pale and withered, and a couple days later I saw his tail go floating by (which set off a war between a serpent star and a bunch of snails and peppermint shrimp. the star won and impressively ate the whole...

I know they eat bristle worms too.

oh, that's why one of mine ran away like you said, he left a little blob that's growing into another one now.

yeah, I hat emy peppermint shrimps. I put in 3 to eat the aptasia, which they did, but they eat all sorts of other things too. I've gotten rid of two of them but haven't yet been able to catch the third one.

oh, I thought that was part of a ric polyp it had partially covered.

dunno, mine had no stingers, totally smooth I couldn't see what you were talking about in your pic.

I have two and they both hid behing a filter intake pipe way in the top left corner of the tank. I think the dwarf angel was being aggresive and chasing them there. They eventually calmed down and roamed the tank and only hid at night, and then later didn't hide at all. I think it coincided...

I'll try that. But this is a torch, right? Is this how they look when they are not yet open? Just want to make sure I was not sent something else by mistake.

I got some peppermint shrimp to help control an aptasia problem, and they appear to have done a great job, but recently I've noticed them attacking other things like snails and some little cleaner clams. A few days ago I got a lettuce nudi to help control algae, and shortly after I put him in...

can you have both purple firefish and the normal red firefish in the same tank? I have 2 red in my 46 G and may want to consider adding a purple as well. They are shy, but great.

I recently got a torch because I like the long polyps, whcih leads me to a question. How long does it typically take for a new torch to fully extend/inflate its polyps? My new one (mail ordered) has been in the tank a week and the polyps are barely longer than 1 cm or so. Do I need to give it...
