definitely a Rhodactis sp (hairy mushroom)

What particular conditions are needed to keep shrimp alive? I have an 80gal reef tank with healthy corals and fish that I've had for a year now with no problems but for some reason shrimp won't last more than a week in my tank. I've heard they can't tolerate salinity changes and need iodine but...

Grogg, thanks for the input and I will definitely be doing more smaller water changes than one big one. I hope that will work.

Don't let them be, they will just grow and spread. You need to kill them by either injecting them with calcium or buying a shrimp. Good luck.

I have an 80gal. reef tank that has been set up for eight months. I have a 30 gal sump/refugium, skimmer, and 100lbs. of live rock. I have various soft corals with frogspawn, hammer coral, and torch coral being the only stony corals. I feed them cyclops or bioplankton once every three days or...

What size is your tank? Is there one in there now? If so quarantine it and then put it back in with the new firefish. They should get along fine but there is never a 100% guarantee. I've never had a problem with my firefish fighting though.

Give your kitten a lot of play toys and put something heavy on your garbage can where the kitten can't knock it over. I have a dog who likes to get in the trash and that's what I do...it has worked so far.

Ahhhhh!

I'm in the same situation and my LFS said the purlple fire fish that is already established in the tank will probably pick on the new one. There's always the chance that it won't but I know how hard it can be to get fish back out of a reef tank so I didn't buy another one. They are awesome fish...

These clams are certainly exquisite. I notice that they are on rocks instead of in the sand. I've always been told they should be in a sandbed but seeing how some on here have been place on rocks I suppose that is okay.

You reduce the flow so the food can settle on the coral so it can feed, otherwise high current would just take the food along with it and the coral doesn't have a chance of getting any food. In my experience and I'm sure some would disagree, having to special feed anything besides your fish on a...

You want to soak your fish food in garlic juices. You can either soak your fish food in garlic that you crush yourself or buy a bottle of garlic juice from your LFS. You never want to put any garlic pulp into your tank, just the juices that you soak your food in.

I might be interested. What is the brand name of the skimmer?

What I have heard is variety is the best way to go when it comes to feeding fish. Mysis shrimp is great but you should vary their diet with other vitamin enriched food from your pet store or make your own. I go to the market and buy raw oysters, clams, squid, etc. and mash it up in a small...

As far as I know arrow crabs won't eat inverts. I have one and it hasn't touched any of my inverts. It is an amazing scavenger though. Any little piece of food that touches the sand he is on it. I have even seen him steal food from one of my gobies that hangs out at the bottom.

do you have a pic of the tank and stand? :notsure:

I have an 80 gallon tank and have had 2 midas blennys in it for almost 4 months now. They are total buddies and love to play with each other. Their favorite pastime is playing hide in seek in the rock work and the barnacles.

I lived in Oahu, across from Farington High until I was 8 then my parents decided to come to the mainland. I've gone back a few times, but not ecough!!! Since I've gotten into this hobby, I wan to go back to see the real reefs!! :happyfish :happyfish :happyfish

Are these harmful to the tank? I found a few in my fuge and am not sure if I need to remove them?

Is the tank pre-drilled?
