Well, I tried them again- Mithrax Crabs as a clean up solution to my bubble algae problem, which had gotten out of hand. So what did I lose this time to the voracious appetites of the crabs? My beautiful Green Pocillopora Damicornis Coral got a rather severe "haircut," sacrificing many months...

I discovered this creature shortly after purchasing a small zoo frag. It looks like a photo I saw featuring the life cycle of an anemone. It is slightly smaller than a pencil eraser and I cannot get a good look at the other side. Lawnmower Blenny tried to eat it but could not get it off the...

Well folks, it's been a while since my last public flogging so I will ask another amateurish question; I have in my beautiful 29 gallon nano a 2 inch tall Green Stylophora along with other SPS corals (mostly Montiporas). The others are doing very well, the Stylo-not so much. Water parameters...
