    Anemone's

    I have a haitian anemone that was doing great in my tank for quite a while. My little percula loves him and rarely leaves him. :) He has always had real long pink tenticles and moves around the tank so its a new look everyday. But lately he is still moving but he will not "bloom" (if thats the...

    Trying to identify algae on glass

It wouldn't recieve any light and could make it into the tank. I am going to get a couple large Turbo snails tomorrow and some LS to replace the Crushed...

    Paxil for my clown?
