    Aptasia eating nudibranch

    Is there such a thing? My LFS is selling them. What else will it eat? Any insight would be appreciated. I tried hot water and a lighter to get rid of my aptasia as well as pappermint shrimp. I really don't want to dump chemicals in there or inject them because it may affect something else...

    Killer Anemone?

    I bought a White Sebae Anemone about a month ago. Since then my Goby and my bicolored blenny have disappeared. I've never heard of an anemone "eating" fish but I had my Goby for 9 months and my blenny for about 6. I can't think of another logical explanation for their disappearance. Any...

    Can my Goniopora be saved?

    I've had it for 4 months and my clowns have mated with it. It stopped extending about 2 weeks ago and half of it it's dead....just a rock looking skeleton. The other half is still green. I moved it from the sandbed to the top of the tank into a medium flow. Can it be saved?

    Protein Skimmer

    Can anyone recommend a protein skimmer? Mine is about to kick the bucket. It's a Prizm and I hate it. It either quits working or overflows. I would be interested to know what you guys use and have great success with (and little or no issues). Thanks in advance

    What kind of Star?

    I bought a small Zoo-frag yesterday. When I put it in the tank I saw a tiny starfish crawl out of it. It was white. The body was smaller than a penil eraser and the arms were so little it looked like someone took a pencil and just drew a line on a piece of paper. What kind of starfish is...

    What's up with my PH?

    My PH was always perfect. Last week, it dropped to 7.8 for the first time in the main tank, the hospital tank was - 7.4. I went and bought Kashem PH buffer that's supposed to maintain the PH. It was low again the next day. I added more buffer. Thursday, everything tested perfect. I have a...

    UV Filter

    Does anyone have a UV filter? I'm thinking about getting one and was wondering if anyone could recommend one. Also, do you keep it on all the time? The LFS told me I probably only need to have it one about 1 week a month. Is this true?

    First Ich

    I have my first case of Ich and all fish are infected. I noticed it on my Tang last night and bought some Kick-Ich at the LFS. Does Ich kill anemones, cleaner shrimp, coral, starfish, snails or crabs or only fish? Hypothetically, if it killed all my fish, how long should I wait to restock...
