I picked up this little guy a while ago and can't seem to find an exact ID on him. Does anyone have one or know exactly what type of goby he is? He likes to hang out in a burrow with my pistol shrimp and he likes meaty foods from what I can figure.

since I was unable to get my old fuge tank out from under my stand(20 gal) I finally put it to good use. Here is it's new resident. My 6" peacock mantis shrimp!!

Here is my new 6" peacock mantis shrimp that I set up my old 20 gallon fuge to house!! He is really cool!! AND MEAN TOO!!

My wellsophyllia has not opened during the day in the last month. At night with the moonlights on, it is totally puffed up with the tentacles out. During the day, it is shrunken tight to it's skeleton and seems to be losing it's color. All my levels are and have been ideal. Actually, all of my...

A friend of mine is setting up a 175 bowfront reef and wants to be able to put any type of coral in it eventually. the tank is 28 1/2" high. Will 3 - 250 watt HQI MH's accented with 2- 160 watt superactinic vho's be sufficient? Also, are the double ended HQI's as good as the standard single...

Just wondering, does anyone have one in a reef tank or any experience with one in a reef? I have read that they pick at polyps of soft corals and may eat the polyps.

Anyone use a LUX Meter to check their bulbs? I am thinking of getting one to check my VHO's. I have read that when they lose 20%, to toss them and put in new. I replaced them after the first 6 months and it is time again. Just wondering if I could get more out of them or not.

I know I've asked about these before and have come to terms with them in my tank and understand there benefit to my reef, BUT is this large of one a threat to anything besides my hand? This worm is at least 6-7 inches. That is a 1 inch clamshell next to him.

My hippo tang has been re-arranging the loose shells on the bottom of my tank. I was wondering how empty shells were ending up on the top of corals and LR. Today I caught the little SOB redhanded. He picks one up, swims across the tank and drops the shell in no specific spot. Has anyone ever...

My LFS got in a large coral shipment and this peice of trumpet coral was broken off of the main colony in the bag. Couldn't beat the price...FREE! Any special needs for this coral?

I put 3 small polyps in a hole in my LR about 4 months ago and now they are over running my tank. Has anyone ever had any experience with fragging these? Is there any way to do it without having to break the LR into peices?

It's been a while since I posted a tank shot so here goes.

While on vacation in Westerly R.I. last weekend, I brought the rugrats into a beach shop for their usual vacation souvineer when I spotted a basket full of blue, purple and orange linkia stars dried up and dead(of course)!!!:eek: There had to be 40-50 of them. Kinda made me sick. There was also...
