    Crab ID Please

    This crab came in with a shipment of zoanthids. It was in the bag, not on a rock. It has a similar body shape as an acro crab, so thought it might be one. If so, i've got a colony it could take.. Thanks, Gator

    Algae ID/Known Eaters

    This algae is brown and plating. Soft, and can be pulled off usually. In some areas it won't come off too well and leaves behind plenty that relatively quickly repopulates. Any one know what kind of algae this is and/or an animal that will feast on it? Thanks, Gator

    DIY Calcium Reactor - Details and Plans...

    Ok.. This thread is in reply to some requests on another thread in the DIY forum. This isn't an original design for the square reactor, I got the idea off of DJ88 on the other board. But I did modify it a little due to the local availability of some of the pieces/parts. I could have bought...

    New "Powder Brown"

    Got this new guy today. He's only a little over 2" long right now. In quarantine, and acting great. He's eaten brine, shrimp, flake, and other miscellaneous frozen foods i've offered to test out his appetite. Was a little hesitant since he was slightly skinny, but looks like he should be...

    ID, please! :)

    Any good guesses on this? I want to get an idea prior to putting into the tank... It seems like some sort of flatworm, but not sure if it is ok or if it should be removed. Thanks, Gator

    250w Radium VS 400w Radium?

    Ok. Seems like everyones 20k Radium pictures are blue, and everyone seems to think they need white supplementation, due to being blue... But I've now gone through 6 20k Radiums and never had a blue bath as some call it. It is just very crisp white with a hint of blue... ? Mine are all 400w...

    Small fish that will nip at algaes?

    What, if any, are some good fish to put in my 30 gallon frag tank to eat some of the hair algae that grows in there? I've put a few snails but they don't get all of the high areas. Any fish good for this task? Don't worry, I won't put a tang or angel in there! Thanks, Gator

    Opinion on coolpix 5400?

    I'm looking at buying nikon 5400 off of ----. I couldn't find any threads here or 'the other place' that were listed as taken with one. Seems like the .4" super macro mode would be great. Please offer opinions on this camera if you have one, and if possible shots with it. RyeBread: Your thought...

    Beth/Terry? Purple Tang

    This is the same purple tang I had ich and problem with hypo back in jan/feb. I just noticed this yesterday, but it wasn't as much and it was slightly puffy looking but only a couple spots. Today, it's flat and it covers this area and the fin in the same area. It looks like a bunch of small...

    Egg Id?

    I just found these eggs on my thermometer. I can't think of anything I have that would lay eggs like this. There are many more sacs like these, that are not grouped together. All on the thermometer... Thanks, Gator

    Neon goby with slash now fins being eaten away...

    My neon goby appears to have suffered a slash on his side the night before yesterday (monday night) and now his fins are progressingly appearing worse (almost looks like ich does when eating away at a fin but with no spots on the body, only fins). The purple tang is fine and the clowns look...

    Starfish ID please...

    Here's a starfish I found on a torch I just got from a fellow aquarist. It isn't white like most of the little ones you see. Its shape is not irregular, but still has 5 points.. maybe 6, but looks like they are paired. Whatever I mean by that... :) It is blue with a reddish color 'eye' There...

    Temperature affects on Zoos/Xenia?

    I am going out of town today (only for 3 days) and earlier this week I decided I'd try putting the covers on the tank to see if I could get my evaporation rate down for the couple of days to make sure I'd have no problems. Any way, over the course of the day temp got to 84.5 and so I removed...

    Any one see something like this?

    So i'm looking at the tank and see this mass of sand moving... Ok, no big deal, snail, whatever. But then this draws my attention to a small bit of a tube that looks like it's protruding about 1/16th of an inch with like 10-15 little feelers coming out grabing onto stuff (mostly sand) and at...

    Dipping corals?

    I got a new brain recently, the platygyra daedela, and it's been eating and putting out feeder tenticles regularly (nightly)... There are two areas that were i guess what you would call receded on the edges, and then one small area where the brown raised ridge seemed to be splitting when i got...
