I was watching my tank after feeding and saw my turbo snail spitting something out. It was in the middle of the tank aimed at a Kenya tree so I turkey basted it into a shot glass incase it was something bad. After some research I learned this was how they reproduce, although my stuff was green...

not sure how the smile next to the title got there. If anything it should be a frown, or puzzled face.

I'd like to know how I failed my fish so I won't do it again. Feels bad to lose a fish. I did a lot of research and thought I knew how to take care of this fish but apparently I was wrong. Here's the story. 8 gallon Biocube, 2 months old. At least 10% water changes every week, along with testing...

A bottom branch of my Kenya tree will in a few weeks be long enough to touch a Ricordea below. Would it be okay to go in the tank with a sharp scissors or razor and snip the branch? I've seen instruction on fragging these but haven't seen one where they leave the tree in the tank while cutting.

So this squeeze at the base won't eventually kill the tree then? I want to make sure the coral lives, not interested in trading him in or removing. As far as placement relative to other corals, this doesn't mean a Kenya tree would attack a nearby Kenya tree, does it? I just need to make sure he...

The pic doesn't quite describe the situation so I will try to. This frag fell off while I was away and when I returned he had stuck himself in between a couple branches of the rock his mom sits on. He's about a eighth inch wide right now, but with how close the surrounding branches are he will...

Yea the web in your 2nd picture looks like what this puts out. But I've never seen anything that looks like a little worm or snail in anywhere in the rock. I will keep a look out though, maybe its just very small or hiding in a hole I'm not seeing. Thanks.

There is a 3-4 inch white string coming from the rock pictured below. It looks like a spider web. I pull it out with a baster and a few minutes later there is a new strong, just as long. This is the only rock in the tank that does this. I've given the rock a good look, both in and out of water...

I came across the info when googling the YCG. Here is one article I came across: http://www.aquaticcommunity.com/Gobies/YellowClown.php

I understand the ocean is bigger, still, in a school wouldn't they be in the same proximity, or closer, as in a nano? I will not try it and find out though. Plenty other fish to choose from.

I've read that clown gobies in a nano will battle (even though they're found in schools of 5-15 in the ocean ) which is too bad cause a rainbow of clown gobies in a nano would be fantastic. But while the YCG is Gobiodon species, the PCG is Paragobius species. Does this mean they won't fight...

Done

I just noticed the "feathers" go inside the tube when I blow a few bubbles at him. So can I move him? What's the best way to grab him? Where would he prefer to sit?

After a closer look at his body it is a white rigid tube and it looks like he's actually inside of the tube. He's also more of a yellowish/greenish color, not orangish. Such fast replies! This forum rocks
