Well I left for 5 days for Christmas. To my surprise when I got home my live rock sprouted a bunch of these tentacles. They definitely weren't there when I left. They move on their own and they don't seem to bug anyone in the tank. Anyone know what they are? Thanks guys

I am getting worried about this algae bloom. It started small and I didn't think much about as I thought the CUC would take care of it... but as far as I can tell nothing is touching it and it appears to be spreading. Is this red slime algae? How can I get rid of it? This picture was taken maybe...

Can anyone tell me if this is red slime algae? This picture was taken... maybe 2 weeks ago? and this was taken a few minutes ago I'm starting to get a little worried about this as it seems to be popping up in other places too... but not as bad yet.

We are having what looks like an outbreak of copepods lol the glass is covered with thousands of these little guys! I was wondering what can we get that is easy to care for and eats copepods?

If you like rally games... you NEED to get DiRT2! I have it on PS3 and it is freaking amazing! Anyone on here already have it? They have a nice tribute to Colin McRae in the game too in the form the Colin McRae challenge along with a short tribute video. Long story short... go out and get this game!

I just ran a water test and came up with these results: Tempurature 81*F Salinity 28 Specific Gravity 1.0205 Nitrite 0.05 Nitrate 10 Ammonia 0.01 I was wondering what I can do to get my nitrates down? Is there any animal besides a cleaner clam that will reduce nitrates? Should I even worry...

Today I noticed that 1 of my peppermint shrimp was kinda hanging out away from the others so I went to check it out. To my surprise, it is carrying some pinkish purple eggs around on its underside. What are the chances that I will have baby peppermint shrimp? I have 3 other peppermint shrimp...

I was just wondering... how long should I wait before I start buying anemones or corals? My tank is about 2 months old now and I have the lighting to support them. I hear they don't put up with bad water conditions.

Look what the UPS fairy left on my door step yesterday My new Pacific Coast 24 Inch PCI 4 Bulb T5 System w/ LED!!! I love the simulated moonlight feature. I have this set up on timers so when the lights shut off the moonlight LEDs come on. Moonlight Feature Should I be limiting the amount of...

I was noticing today that I have a LOT more activity in my tank than I did a few days ago. Is this because my water conditions are getting better? It just seems that everything in my tank seems a hell of a lot happier than they did a few days ago as the ammonia level drops. Is activity a sign of...

This morning I woke up to my clown fish Clark refusing to come out of his hiding place. When I did the morning feeding he still didn't want to come out. He swam a little today but mostly just hid under rocks. Right now hes laying on the bottom and breathing heavily... he also seems to be...

These things I have only seen recently... the only come out at night and they don't have the standard "bristles" that bristle worms have. Pictures I hope they aren't bad... there are lots of them in my tank and most are at least 5 to 6 inches long

I have my Nano reef pack on the way and I was wondering, when I acclimate them... should I put them all in the same container? or should I separate them by species? I'm assuming I should separate fish while acclimating unless they are the same species.

I was just wondering what is needed to keep a couple cleaner clams? I was going to order the Nano pack but I'm not sure what the clams need to survive. I'd rather not kill them.

I found this on my rock... It looks like an egg sack or something although it seems to have developed a hole close to the bottom.

Well I've been lurking and posted here and there so I decided that I should introduce myself. First off my name is James Cameron (yea yea... no jokes) I'm 23 years old and live in southwestern Wyoming... literally 3 miles from the Utah/Wyoming state line. I got into this hobby by chance really...

I noticed a thin white worm this morning when I turned the lights on in my tank. It took off into my live rock as soon as the light was on. Its a thin white worm... maybe slightly thinner than "thin-spaghetti". When it took off it moved like an inchworm. Any ideas?

I'm new to the salt water aquarium world. I have just started setting up a 20 gallon tank and so far all I really have is live rock. Today I noticed this little fuzzy guy hanging out under some rock that wasn't there yesterday. Can someone ID it? My best guess is what I have heard called "Q-Tip...
