is there any discharge or slimey excrement? how long has it been wilted

lighting sounds good- just wait bit longer. i assume all of your parameters are in line?

could be still getting acclimated- what lights are over your tank?

the reason i ask- is because i picked up a pair of them at my work that were readily eating mysis-brine-and other planktonic foods- i have had them for about 3 weeks now and it seems as though they have put on a little weight- i just turn my pumps off and feed then and they eat it right out of...

keep the skimmer running- you will be fine

what lighting do you have and water flow does get- when was your last water change

i have to agree- on a closer look- it looks like a black encrusting sponge- which is not harmfull to the tank

looks like a match to me- good work

cool- that should work

put a small glass cup in the tank with some small rock and put the xenia in it, put the cup on the sand bed and out of the way of strong waterflow- this method works great

thats my point- most of the time they dont know jack- i would wait for an id before messing with it- Is the fact that you paid for it what makes you feel safe- they also sell blue ring octopus on the web and a bite will kill you as well- im just saying there is no reason to sacrafice personal...

for example this snail is a cone snail and is indeed deadly and the shells look similar Conus betulinus perhaps someone will come along with the correct ID

nassarius snails arent shiny or smoothe like that- they also arent as narrow- dont touch it yet untill you get a posative id- there are cone snails that look similar that are deadly- but just to be on the safe side

there are thousands of snails that burrow under the sand- that is not a nass snail- but unfortunealy i dont have an alternative answer

very cool- new corals are always fun

thats a shame- do you know if scooter blennies fall under the same nutritional category?

cool- the pump its self functions great- but when you need to, the lower casing comes off to reveal the two gears, that is where you want to clean. also if they have that little air siphon tube that comes with them- dont use it

yes- protopalythoa have palytoxin as well- which is a neurotoxin -just use caution latex gloves to protect your hands are a good idea and wash them very well when you are done and that should be all that protection you need- i have actually fraqgged palys with open scrapes on my hand without...

did it look sick at all before any of that happened

not all cyano is red/purple in color- there is black cyano- if it comes off easy it is not a sponge. try to clean it off- it it brushes off easy, thats all you have to do- cyano grows in low flowing areas with ligh levesl of DOCs Spirorbidae worms- are not threat to a tank, just to visual appeal...
