    New Coral ID ? lighting requirements

    I just purchased a new Coral yesterday-walked into my LFS and there it was. They are calling it a BlueStrawberry Coral. Could not find anything like it in any of my books or on web site. It looks like broccolli, deep blue green fleshy stems, approx 2-3" tall attached to a nice piece of rock...

    ? purchase pods

    Well, I broke my own rule. My LFS had the most beautiful Mandarin - just could not pass him up-so now he is in my 75gal tank. I do have 100lbs + of live rock, but do not feel there are adequate pods to feed him. I am feeding live brine and black worms, which he seems to love, but would like to...

    CRAB TRAP or trap a crab!

    Has anyone successfully used the crab trap sold on this site? I have a crab deep in a huge piece of liverock that is eating the coraline and now picking holes in my BTA. The clown tries to attack it whenever it shows, but he is losing the battle. The rock is about 10 lbs with a tunnel running...

    Glue??

    I Frequently Hear You Guys Talk About 'glueing' Frags, Corals Etc. To Rocks. What Do You Use To Do This? Can You Apply It Directly To The Item (the Ricordia I Ordered Had All Detached From Their Rocks And Are Still Free Floating Around My Tank) Or Only Rock To Rock! Thanks

Do inverts/shrimp need...

    I just purchased a Coral Beauty from this site, added it to the tank Friday evening. Now this nutty angelfish has been racing nonstop around the tank ever since. I mean it never stops, just rushes frantically through, around, under all the rock bumping into any fish that gets in its way. The...
