On a small piece of LR I had 3 little round shiny blackish brown marbles. They looked out of place. I do not know where they came from I added a couple pieces of LR a couple months ago. I also added some turbo snails, an emerald crab, and some blue leg crabs. It is a 20 gallon hex with two...

I a Klarki Clown who looks like he is on his way out. He is in a 20 gal reef. My Jawfish disappeared about a month ago. The Klarki(Bert) is breathing rapidly, his fins look faded. Tiny white dot seem to have formed around his head, and eyes look clouded. Since it is a reef I have just...

This mourning at around 7 am I happened to be next to my tank when the lights popped up. I saw a long "octopus" leg retreating into a hole under some liverock. I am assuming that it is a brittle star that I bought back in February when I was a super newbie, only 3 months into salt...

LR I bought yesterday had a small blue mushroom growing. I would like to try and keep it alive. I only have 25w flor in my 20 gallon hex FOWLR tank. Because of the small hood size I think I can fit a small srtip behind the one I have now, but only 12" or 14". I have seen two products...
