    How long do Camel Back Shrimp live???

    We have 3 horrible Camel Back Shrimp in our tank (have had them for about 6 months now) who are eating all our soft corals (have lost about $400 in livestock so far). My hubby ordered them without doing all the research, so I know it's our fault. Tried trapping them, catching them with a net...

    Going for a 2nd tank, advice on the size??

    We currently have a 100gal tank in my hubby's office & want to put in another reef tank somewhere in the family room area.

    My Dragonet Eats Formula Two Pellets & Frozen Brine Shrimp...is this OK???

    We have 1 Dragonet in our 100 gal tank w/ 130lb live rock. I see pods crawling, so I know he has food to eat. However, he FLIPS OUT when I put the Formula Two pellets in the tank for the other fish & they sink to the bottom. Just loves them. And he LOVES the frozen brine shrimp I put in every...

    Does anyone know what this coral is? Hitchhiker...

    This was on our rock 6 months ago when it was put in the tank & has grown since then... Anyone know what it is? There is a hard, white skeleton underneath, which reminds me exactly of a Torch Coral "head". But the fleshy part looks nothing like the Torch Coral we had in the tank. And we have...

    Do you ever feed live brine shrimp?

    I know that brine shrimp are like candy for fish. Ours just went NUTS the one time I put some in (Foxface was new & wasn't eating, so LFS suggested I try live brine to "put something in his belly"). Does anyone ever feed live brine shrimp? Do the live version have any nutritional value?

    Does this mean my 2 fish are fighting?

    We started with 4 Green Chromis, but lost two of them in the first week. We've had the other two for about 2 months now. However, they seem to "kiss" all the time...and then every so often, one will dart towards the other's side & dart away. Neither one of them have chewed up fins, tail...
