    Disgusting looking transparent clam-like... anemone?

    I just discovered this guy. It's only really noticable with a flashlight at night. It behaves like a clam, opening and shutting it's "mouth" and there's a red/brown rock in the middle of it like a perl in a clam. When I shine a light on it, it looks pink and translucent. If I tap on the glass...

    LFS info on Xenia is confusing

    Bottom line (in my experience), Xenia grow like weeds with good light. No extra food is required. They'e the fastest growing coral in my tank and I don't supplement with anything.

    Small hippo tang

    I have a blue tang 1" or less that eats like a horse! It grazes on the copods on the back glass all day long and eats marine cuisine, mysis, and forumla 1 and 2 flakes. I love it; it thinks it's a clown and swims with my two little ocellaris' all day. It is shy though and drops to the bottom of...

    Does my tang have ich? *video*

    Some strange behavior in the video... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XySjdmX_lZk She's been doing this off and on since I got her last week. I'll see a tiny spot(smaller than a grain of sand) one day and then none the next. She seems happy, and she thinks she's a clown, swimming with my two...

    Kewl emerald-like brown crab

    I'm not exactly sure... from what I remember they looked just like emerald claws. I'll look again tonight when he comes out and report back.

    Kewl emerald-like brown crab

    I just discovered this guy after having the rock 2 months! He only comes out at night and barely comes out of his hole; this is the most I've seen him venture out. Just two days before I found him, I had this piece of live rock out and was scrubbing it like mad trying to get the v. snails off of...

    *pics* 2 small clowns. The smallest seizures.. ???

    I've had two small clowns for 2 weeks now and they won't leave each other's side. The LFS lady gave me clowns of different sizes so they'd figure out who was going to be the female pronto. The strange thing is, the smallest of the two is the one prancing in front of the other and having...

    Are my corals healthy? *video*

    I've had these for about a week now... The Xenias are pulsing like crazy which I've read means they're healthy but I've seen videos where they open a lot more. The torch seems to be doing ok. It's open but all of the photos and vids I've seen show thicker tentacles. Is this just because mine's...

    Torch open at lunch, closed after work

    I've only had it since last Saturday and have noticed that in the morning before work and at lunch it's open all the way, but when I get home from work, about 30 minutes before 10ks go off and actinic lights come on, it's closed up tight. Once the actinics come on, it opens up a bit more but not...
