This may be rare, because everytime I see or hear of anything with flatworms everyone says get a wrasse/ six line, etc. I have yet to see my six line eat eanthing other than mysis shrimp and he is a cure little guy so when I am actually home I watch him a lot.

have you tried emerald crabs- they eat it and are fine, but when they grow up they get aggressive sometimes- or at least what I perceive as aggressive

Possible solution 1: Get Seachem Reef Dip Coral Disinfectant. Follow directions for dip in a container. Leave in container for approx 10 minutes, then place in tank- you will see the flatworms left in the container- dospose of corpses. Possible solution 2: Flatworm exit- but this actually...

Time will tell if recordia or rock anemone. When I took you pic increased the mp, blew it up, there is no substance base for the tentacles other than the center. A recordia would have more base. If you really want to test it to see what it is, take a small syringe fill with warm water ( just...

Six line is the best option, but not guartanteed to work, because they do not always eat what they are supposed to eat. These guys eat on your LFS especially shrooms, so you need to try to get rid of as many as you can, If you have a turkey baster you can suck out some of those bad boys and...

Twin clan- HAv eyou checked your alkalinity? I ask this becuase it does not bode well from your toadstool as it is today. Fragging may not be a bad idea. On your calcium levels- are you using any kind of buffer at all? I Ask this because when your calcium levels are high your ph &...

yes they are- get rid of them as they wil multiply- they will sting any other corals that you might have and they are ugly. Now the question of how do you get rid of them? I have always used Joe's Lime Juice it kills them, but you have to follow the directions carefully. I have heard of all...

a couple of things to think about going forward. The ick will cycle again. The parasites attached to the fish that you see now are only the ones that have attached themselves to the the fish, the balance are in the subtrate and the rocks. Be prepared to see more in about 4 to 6 weeks. Now...

just a thought- what type of clean up crew are you running? Some blue legs would help and be a lot cheaper. One post from ealier tonight said emerald crabs, but once they get big sometimes they become a problem

I would bet it's your lights, if you cannot afford new bulbs -can you afford a tang or flame angel on eor the other should help temporarily, but the bulbs needs to be replaced as soon as you can do it. When was the last time you cheked your R/O filters? That may be a prob as well

yep it looks like a shroom I enlarged it, and the center of it leads me to believe that

WOW! that's the only word to come to mind. Are you running R/O system? How many pumps are you planning and how much WF? Sorry I know too many poeple asking too many questions. I am in awe, my mind racing to the endless possibilities here of fish types, corals, clams, clean up crew- &*#...

If your death rate has been that high, and seemingly rapid check your water perameters first . Are you using any iodine additives to keep the iodine high, because both snails and crabs need iodine. Only problem with Emerald crabs is when they get big- sometimes they get aggressive especially...

Hi from Ky! I am not sure what it is actually called -but bottom line cut it off, 'cause it will end up really looking ugly like a nubby appendage. apparently the star polyps will grow into itself if unable to mat out/spread. I have cut off 3 similar sections in the past 2 years and used a...

Quick note Blennys have a tendency to nip at the tube and even go into the tube itself when the fan is pulled in. I had a bicolor blenny do it, discussed with my lfs and he said that is pretty common.

Just a thought, but could they be squirts- do they have a tiny little fan or feather like arial coming out of the tops? If so, could very well be squirts -otherwise have no clue. If squirts they filter out excess nutrients and while they are unsightly do a decent job- keep your eye on...

The green mandarin- you need to have a well established system for this they do not eat regualr food, they eat the worms, cycs in your tank. Peaceful fish The Vanetini and the clowns should get along fine, but add the puffer after the clowns are established. The damsels, well even though...

had the same thing happen, and I am at the 40 day mark since the second outbreak of ich - I added Cleaner shrimp and they did a good job on the initial problem, but once the ich cycled 10 days later all H broke loose. Lost all but 3. due to severity of the second outbreak, i had to take my reef...

A couple of things to note, when adding any additional new fish be sure to put into a quarantine tank especially if running a reef tank. I made the mistake of buying a yellow tang at my lfs and not listening to my head and keeping him in quarantine for two full weeks, only waited to ensure that...

75G running 2 1200 maxijets also on back corners one facing front center and one facing across the tank using the rotating heads. Corals doing great in it. I had added a 3rd 1140 maxijet in center, but the flow was too high for what I have in the tank so far.
