This monster purple mushroom is growing so fast! It is almost covering another mushroom next to it. Thoughts on fragging it? I can't pull the rock out of the water so it would have to be done in tank! Thanks!

I've notice a trend of purchasing nothing but pink corals! Going to the store today to get something new- any suggestions for something that is NOT pink (Kenyas, colt, clove polyps, etc.) Thanks for your advice!

My tank crashed and sat dormant for about six months- no lights, no filter, nothing! I recently started it back up and have noticed these 'things' growing on the rock. I use to have the rock covered in an assortment of zoo's- is there any way they lived through all of that? If not, what are...

I recently re-established my 55g tank after having it sit in complete darkness with no flow for over four months. (tank crashed due to an illness in the family and neglect of the tank) Everything is great in the tank now- all levels fine, fish and coral are doing well. Before the crash, I had a...

I just added a clown fish to my reef tank. He's the only fish in there right now. I added him yesterday and he seems ok except for the fact that he stays in the top third of my tank. Is there any reason why? Test results are fine (a little high nitrites but did a water change before adding him...

OH yes--- it was the owner that said "shame on you!" and offered us the "new" discount! He even had the guts to ask my brother if he did research on all his animals. I understand business and making money... but come on now! Customer service goes much further.

DO NOT SHOP AT EXOTIC AQUATICS!!!!! This LFS is located in Plano, Texas. They sold us an eel that died after less than 24 hours, told us it was OUR fault and offered us 50% another fish! I am so irate with them right now. Our water is great, fish was aclimated, etc. We were told "shame on you"...

I added a new crab to my tank yesterday. His shell is about 2.5-3 inches long. Woke up this morning and the tank was cloudy but the sand was clean. Things haven't settled down too much through out the day. The corals are partially open. Bubble not as fully opened as I would like. Any...

One of my hammer corals lost all of it's heads! All the other corals are fine and water is good. There are two heads that are just laying on the bottom- still open and looks normal, just not attached to the base. The base part where the heads came off of is a weird white color. Any ideas? Is...

I have a large rock full of them as well as one single about four inches big in my seahorse tank. They get some mysis shrimp when I feed the horses and close up around it. They also get phyto and cyclo. But they seem to close up most with a half shrimp.... HTH

I have a rock covered with blastomas. Can I frag them? If so, how? Like a mushroom or do they need their solid base they're on? I also have a large one about three inches plus- can I frag it? Thanks for any help!

take a coke bottle- either a big one or a small one depending on the size of the fish and tank- cut the top part off and flip it around so it makes a funell. You may have to cut the lid off so the hole is bigger for the fish. I actually melted the funel part onto the bottle so it stayed. Throw...

Good luck to you! It took me three weeks to catch a yellow damsel I have. I finally had to move all the coral to one side of the tank and the lr to the other. Sorry- I know that's not the news you wanted to hear. I tried leaving the net in the tank for a while so he got use to it- caught some...

I think we have those, too. Do they look like a snail without a shell? I am assuming they are harmless to a reef?

Where'd you get your SH from? They look great- do you know their --- yet? I'm waiting for my three erectus to have their first fry- family thinks I'm crazy watching my SH tank for hours waiting for the egg transfer to actually happen!

Couple pics I took today- a piece of krill fell into my blastoma, and he loved it! I will normally chop some kirll up for them, but never a piece this bit. Learn something new every day! The first one is about three inches in diamter, the second is a whole rock covered in them.

lol- that does sound a little mean. We've tried letting the net stay in the tank- I swear he knows what is going on. He knows either its dinner time or time to run from us!

We have this MEAN damsel that we can not catch. I swear he gets smarter every day. Tried the net, tried the bottle with food in it, etc. I really don't want to take out the rocks- Reef tank- It really would be a pain and I am afraid I would loose some corals. So any other suggestions on how to...

How do you control your algae growth with a puffer in the tank? My stars and stripes has made an expensive dinner for himself from all of my snails and crabs. I can handle the algae on the glass- it's the sand I don't know what to do with. Was thinking a sandsifting fish of sorts?
