I'm actually thinking that it could be spaghetti worms. Maybe just a huge outbreak. Anyone have any experience with spaghetti worms? Are they harmful in large numbers? Thanks!

My 75 gallon reef aquarium seems to have thousands of thread-like worms in the substrate and now on the live rock. They're about an inch or so long and they seem to move back and forth with the current but are imbedded in the sand or attached to a rock. I can't seem to get a good picture of...

Does anyone have experience with a Copperband Butterfly in a reef tank? Some people tell me they will eat polyps and others say that they are perfectly safe. Any comment or advice is welcome. I have a 75 gal well established reef tank and a 125 gal FOWL. Thanks for your help.

What are the chances that a dottyback is eating those things?

Another thing I noticed was the something was moving the substrate around and digging a pretty good size hole. I thought it was one of the new fish we bought - possibly the dottyback. Do mantis shrimp dig holes or move the sand around? Could the dottyback have eaten 2 cleaner shrimp and the...

Could a Mantis Shrimp live in a tank for a year and just start attacking cleaner shrimp and sandsifting starfish? Or would it have come in on a coral? We recently put a flowerpot coral in the tank, but I can't imagine that it would come in on that. What is the best way to catch a mantis...

In the summer, my electric bill went up about $100/month but that's with central air and it was a warm summer. There is definitely a larger electric bill all year. One of the downsides to this hobby. But if you were boating, you'd be paying for gas. So everything has a price.

I have two-260 watts power compacts equaling 520 watts for my 75 gallon. But I agree with what you said about the lighting - I was really questioning how fragile anemones are. I haven't had any trouble at all, granted I have only had them for a year. And I do hear from many people that they...

Great looking fish but the pictures are kind of fuzzy. Not easy to see. Try again.

I have had a green tipped bulb anemone for over a year and it has done amazingly well in my 75 gal reef tank. It split in 2 about 6 months ago and the 2 halves are huge. I have a maroon clown that spends her day swimming back and forth between the 2 anemones. She's very possessive and...

Melissa, Yes, I am blonde and I go a little nuts over the tank. It brings me incredible serenity and incredible anxiety. But I love the tank and I watch it more than the TV. By the way, I didn't get the picture taken last night, but I will post a picture. I got this mandarin from this...

I have a digital camera at home - I'm at work now. I'll take one this evening. He has done an unbelievable job in removing planeria from the tank. That's why I couldn't stand the thought of him dying. He's a really cool fish to watch swim around the tank - sort of a gentle giant.

I have a large 6" inch spotted mandarin in my 75 gal reef tank. This morning I turned on the actinic lighting and saw him slightly buried in the DSB in the front of the tank - looking almost white. I screamed thinking he had died during the night and called for my daughter so she could get a...

Has anyone tried Chem-Marin's Stop Parasites in their reef tank? I have read a couple of articles where they state that it is reef safe and corals and mushrooms can handle the medication. I am reluctant to add anything to my reef tank that could possibly be harmful but I have had no luck in...

Can someone give me some information about liquid garlic. How does it affect the fish? Does it boost their immunity? Will it prevent fish from getting ich? Does it help to add drop to the tank? I have a 75 gallon reef tank. I removed a flame angel that had cloudy eyes and quarantined it...
