    Goby/Clam Question

    I have a sleeper headed goby that always picks rocks up and then excretes them out of his gills. He drops them about 6 inches above the ground. I am thinking about getting a clam, will these rocks being dropped effect the clam because they have a hole in their skeleton? Thanks. :jumping:

    I need an ID

    These came attached to one of my live rocks. They are not aiptiasia. They are dark orange with tentacles like aiptasia but have blob things on the end like an anemone. Could they be baby anemones?

    Warning

    I'm sure most of you know this or can infer it, but my powerhead fell from its suction cup things and was blowing directly on my montipora. This was happening the whole time I was at school and practice. The montipora turned white in places(dead most likely). But luckily I saw a few little...

    PC or MH

    For my 75g reef. Should I get 4X96 PC lighting or MH lighting? The guy at my LFS (who knows what he's talkin bout) said I could probably keep clams and acropora if I got the PC lighting. Should I spend the extra money to get the MH? Thanks. :)
