    anenome

    if you have to get one, my sugestion would be a bubble tip, they are one of the hardiest. I do not recomend keeping an anemone however since they are very temperamental and very hard to keep up

    Help my live rock is ALIVE...with what is the question?

    sounds like aptasia, may survive cycling, but if it is you dont want it to. after a month add a peppermint shrimp it will clear out this pest. as for the clam, leave it alone its fine, but i doubt it will survive, of course unless you dont like how it looks...

    dont worry it will cycle, its nature, cant help it. if you want to speed it up feed your tank flakes like you would normally if you had fish. wait at least a month before putting anything of value you dont want to loose in your tank. patience will pay off. I lost alot of expensive things for...
