    Found this creature yesterday

    He is about the size of a half dollar. The green part is hard. He looks like he is wearing an army helmet :) His skin on the outside is a bit rough. He is SUPER fast. Any ideas? I pulled him just in case....can I put him back in?

From what I have read, it should get along with the current creatures in the tank (1 maroon clown, 2 firefish, 2 emerald crabs, 2 peppermint shrimp, 1 skunk shrimp, handful of hemits). My problem is, my tank is tall, not long. Does the...

    Coral Beauty or Rusty Angel?

    So I am trying to decide if my next (possibly last) fish should be a coral beauty or a rusty angel. I like the look of both. Anyone have any pros or cons with either? I would prefer a more social fish...on the hardier side. Its tank mates would be a maroon clown, and 2 firefish. Plus various...

    Hermit Crab question/story

    I have a random hermit question. I got 3 scarlet hermits about a month or so ago. They are really cool, but they have really long shells, which they seem to have a rough time navigating.

    What in the CREATURE is this?

    Just spotted this creature(s?) coming out of my live rock... So when I first noticed it I thought it was just a strange striped worm of some sort coming out if the rock....which it still may be. But the closer I looked at it the more it looks like 1 creature with several legs. Nothing like I...

    skunk shrimp?

    Right now I have 2 skunk shrimp, and I was under the impression that they were best in pairs. A friend of mine wanted to do a swap with me and take one of my skunks....should I keep them paired, or would it be okay to separate them?
