I've had my coral beauty in qt tank for two weeks treating for what I thought was ich. I've lowered salinity to 1.09 and treating w/ copper. Fish is acting perfectly normal. Eats and doesn't appear sick except for cauliflower looking knobs on fins and a couple on body. Is there anything more...
Set up a 20 gallon QT on 1/12 for Coral Beauty w/ ich. Followed directions setting up QT per the site. Seeded tank w/ gravel from main tank and used half water from main tank. Added copper treatment and CB on 1/13. Tested for ammonia and nitrates on 1/15 and 1/16. Since new tank there has...
LFS recommended it for fish that are less expesive and no qt tank.
Anyone ever tried it? Said to put fish in freshwater w/ same temp and ph for 20 minutes. This will kill/knock off any ich parasites. Obviously stress on fish could result in death but she said they had good results w/ clown...
Tank has 6 turbo snails, 2 camel shrimp, 3 red leg hermits. I was thinking about taking them back to LFS and treating tank w/ copper med. I do have 25 lbs of live rock and cc bottom. Will the copper kill off the live rock? the 6 line is eating and is active. Hard to tell if it has white...
Just got a Six line wrasse who may have ich. Don't have a digi for pictures. Fish has an abbrasion and fins appear to be chewed from previous aggressor. Seems like a few small white specks but hard to tell b/c fish always moving/ hiding. What's the cost of a quarantine tank? Tank is 7 mos...
My tank has pin sized dots all over the back of the tank. They cover the back of the glass. I don't scrub the algae off the back. What are they? Tank is 7 months old. I can scrub it off but it's a pain.
It ate a royal gramma I bought but hasn't messed w/ anything else. I've been hand feeding it once a week. Seen some call them green brittle stars but lfs called it green serpent star. Is there a difference. It's arms are probably 8-10 inches from one tip to the other. Any more info?

Green serpent star. Tank is 6 months old. All parameters are perfect. Royal Gramma seemed healthy. I only had it for about a week. It was eating and no physical ailments. Maroon clown didn't attack it. Oh well. Might try a six-line wrasse next.
Mine didn't look quite that big but don't know when the feast happened. I've got a couple camel shrimp that haven't been touched. Should I feed the star more?
Got home from work and royal gramma gone. Serpent star's disc
was twice as big. It didn't eat at all last night. Anyone had this happen. RG was in perfect condition. Thoughts???
I have a 46 gallon bow front.
Fish- Royal Gramma, Maroon Clown
Inverts- Serpent Star, 2 camel shrimp, 3 scarlet hermits, 6 turbo snails and 1 emerald crab
I'd like some type of angel and maybe a six line wrasse. Would that be too many fish?
