Im about to give up with my hermit crab, the damn thing ate an URCHIN, AND AN ANEMONE! how does this happen?! doesnt he get stung?! the pet store told me there was poison in the urchin. And anemones have toxins too! I think i may remove the crab. The only thing is that he stirs up the sand and...

Where did everyone get their metal halide lights? Im planning on getting something along the lines of that. I have a 55 gallon tank with just basic light fixtures with coralife bulbs, nothing to fancy at all, theyre quite low wattage, but they have 10000k (not sure what that is either...). Im...

Im also curious about this. My tank looks very plain because i dont have strong lighting, i would like to get some plants if they dont require much lighting. A list of low light corals would be sweet too! thanks <3ryry

And technically, arent clown fish a type of Damsel in some way, i forget how, but theyre in the same family or something... <3ryry

Is it bad for those bubbles to get back in the tank? mine does that.... <3ryry

I started off with a Percula, a Clarkii, and 2 blue damsels. All except the percula lived for a few months, then we added new fish about 4 months after we started adding more fish and they all caught ich and died. Thanks *****! <3ryry

Yea, next time im in the LFS, im getting that racoon. It was so nice looking. I absolutely love this place. The only problem we had with the fish wasnt even their fault. It was a certain hermit crab that ate their fish. Oh well. Im so happy this store opened up near us. <3ryry

The only worms i see in the tank are the peanut worms that come out at night. Question, do they even do anything? <3ryry

Im thinking about getting a racoon butterfly...i think thats what it is. My LFS owner said it eats the hydroids. I didnt want to get it yet because it was 35$ and i still havent gotten rid of my pesky hermit crab... <3ryry

Oh, and for reference, to figure out if theyre hydroids. Theyre like clearish white. They are about the size of a size 12 font lowercase i with little hairs sticking out of the top. I am seeing more and more as the days go by. Either i just havent looked hard enough or theyre popping up...

sorry, i posted this in the wrong forum...

That poor little hermit crab! i think you may have a land hermit crab! i used to get them in wildwood nj. then they stopped selling them for like a dollar each. Now you can only find them at petcos for like 5$. Then agian, if its been in there for 2 days, it must be a water crab... <3ryry

How do i get rid of them, im going to the petstore in an hour or so to bring back our hermit crab and starfish. The starfish eats everything and so does my hermit crab, as ive said in onther post, the big jerk ate my anemone. AN ANEMONE! i didnt think that was possible! <3ryry

You know what, i just looked around the internet and looked at pictures of hydroids, i think thats what they are. There are probably 3 0r 400 of them in there. They are growing in patches. Are they bad? <3ryry

IM going to try and take a few more pictures today. Theyre popping up everywhere. I sure hope they arent bad. They sway with the water flow and it almost looked like the closed up at night. <3ryry

Grr. I FINALLY see something growning on my live rock other than peanut worms, get excited and now i find out they arent good. I want aquacultured rock with all the inverts and stuff next time... <3ryry

Pest anemones? are they bad. And Theres about atleast 300 around all my liverock, and they come in patches. <3ryry

I didnt see it in the identification chart, can anyone help me, heres the picture... Are they anemones or feather dusters? Therye all over my liverocks. That picture is of a piece of live rock the size of a quarter... <3ryry

GAAAH! MY TANK IS FALLING APART! Now my starfish got a hold of my snail, bye bye snail. Now were bringing back the starfish AND the crab. Just as long as the snowflake doesnt get agressive, well keep him... <3ryry

It was about 10 at night when we stopped looking at the tank and turned the lights off. I I woke up at 7 the next morning. I think its possibly he could have eaten it. It was only a baby. Maybe an inch and a half long, if that. It looked very healthy when we got it and was swimming around...
