I've seen many of my hermits acting that way.... and we've had teeeeeny tiny lil hermit crabs weeks later. Your guess is as good as mine, but if they are mating they are happy in their home.

I'd love to see pics of what's in Mr X's fuge! He's posted lots of things he'd put in his fuge LOL

Check out the coral listings.... that looks more like a coral to me. It's not aiptasia....

I think they meant porites...??? Porites is a coral... the kind that the christmas tree worm loves to live in.

That doesn't look like cyano to me at all. I'm not able to say what it is... but it most likely is NOT cyano (or red slime). Keep this post at the top someone will be able to help you ID this. :-)

For the one who asked how one can tell if it's a mantis..... one way is to listen. They have very large loud snaps! It sounds sort of like a rock hitting the glass. That's one way that they catch their prey. The snap stuns them. Pistol shrimps also snap but you rarely get a pistol shrimp as...

Those are definately red flat worms. You want to get rid of them rather quickly as they will reach plague proportions in just weeks. Themselves, alive, they are harmless to fish and inverts but they will eventually cover and kill your corals. If you have a relative few in your tank you can...

I just ordered some. All my research plus talking with the scientist at the place that has the berghia, I learned that it might take up to a year or more to get rid of ALL the aiptasia. I learned (and noticed) that when you use something like joe's juice it kills the one you zap but before the...

We have a 180 gallon reef tank. There has been an outbreak of the dreaded aiptasia in the display tank.....like 30 or so aiptasias. We've been using Joes Juice on the ones we can reach but it's barely effecting the growth. In the sump...geeze there are hundreds and hundreds of aiptasia. I've...

You put the joes juice in it's mouth. It kills them very quickly. Just use the joes juice like you are hand feeding it....just aim for it's mouth you don't have to inject it any more.

The little flower-like clusters at the bottom of the first pic make me think it might be a coral of some type. It might be worth leaving for a bit to see what it does. Does it move around or is it stationary?

Yes, they do drop their feathers especially when stressed. They are pretty hardy though and it most likely will rebuild it's tube and grow new feathers. We had a flatworm problem in our tank and I inadvertently pulled the whole tube off a fanworm! It was just [hr] and probably really PO'd...

Thank you! I'll research and see what I can learn about them.

LOL reefkperz I can't find the hood release! Anyone know what the Hawaiian critters are??

Yes the thing on the right is a limpet and the one on the left is a good thing it's a pod!

I believe that the first picture is some sort of a red calurpa. I've seen it for sale on other websites. I had a decorator crab that loved to snip off some and wear a Carmen Miranda hat with it.

We just got back from a wonderful vacation to Hawaii. It was awesome to say the least. When we were on the Big Island at the Black Beach there were these creatures on the rocks and in the tide pools. Can anyone tell me what these critters are? They were about an inch in diameter. While I'm here...

Wow...that was an awful sore your fish had. I'm sorry for your loss on him he was beautiful. No, the longnose's sore doesn't look like that but your description sure fit. Now the sore is less swollen but it is red and getting bumpy. It follows under the eye and up toward the mouth. I'm...

LOL we took the QT down about 3 weeks ago. It had been up and running for nearly a year with no occupants. If necessary we can use water change water to fill the tank and put some live sand and LR in it. We do 20 gallon water changes on the 180 weekly and the QT/HT is only 10 gallons. If we...

The pics above were taken around 11 a.m this morning. The new pics were taken at 7:30 pm this evening. He's getting worse HELP!
