    Sexy Anemone Shrimp

    My main problem I guess is that one came dead, so I only have one for now and it seems they'll be reclusive if by themselves. I can't find him (he's maybe 1/6 of an inch big) so target feeding is impossible unless I get really lucky, do you know if tey have any favorite foods Ic an try to lure...

    Tiny starfish

    I'm sure he'd be fine I just tend to dot on all my tank creatures, esp the inverts. It is fun watching him crush a piece of squid though he eats fast.

    Sexy Anemone Shrimp

    I just received my order of 2 tiny sexy shrimp, I didn't realize they would be THIS tiny, pretty much impossible to see. Will they be okay scavenging food or should I get something special for shrimp this small? I never seem to understand sizes on internet orders, I ordered a small Halloween...

    Tiny starfish

    Just wanted to see if I could get him any bigger to encourage him to split, I've just used some tweezers to direct a small piece of squid his way when i feed the tank.

    Tiny starfish

    I noticed some tiny arms coming out of a live rock crevice a few weeks ago. I've been trying to spot feed it a bit to help it grow, which it has. It looks like a fancy serpent starfish but much much smaller. I'm assuming this is a good hitch hiker and I've read they will split and multiply...

    harlequin shrimp

    They will absolutely kill the starfish if they eat at it long enough. Not sure if you can distract them, as far as I have heard most ppl with them seem to sacrifice a coco to them to keep them busy

    Killer Crab

    I think hes hiding in the one piece of dead I have in my tank that must weigh 45 lbs that I really don't want to move :( I'm pretty sure he's alive, no crab pieces and I'd be stunned if one of my 6 fish (3 chromis, 1 bicolor psuedo, 1 bicolor blenny, 1 six line) had it in them to take on the...

    Killer Crab

    I purchased a small red/purple crab from a lfs recently, I was assured he was reef safe and wouldn't bother my hermits/snails/corals, recently both my Halloween Hermits, which were decently sized, easily the biggest hermits in my tank were found dead with their arms cut off, not eaten bc their...

    Starting a saltwater mixed tank

    I know my nitrites, nitrates, and ammonia are at 0, my lfs wouln't sell my any life until they approved of the water levels in my tank. I had a cleaner shrimp die last week and immediately got my water tested to make sure it wasn't the water. I am currently adding a liquid in two bottles A and...

    Starting a saltwater mixed tank

    I've never tried a saltwater tank before and I'm trying to start a mixed tank with corals and community fish. I purchased a used 100 gallon acrylic tank that uses bioball filtration. I have about 40 lbs of live rock and some dead added in between. I have a coral life lighting system with 2 65...
