Hello! Just wanted to ask a few questions, but first..
The tank is a 60gal w/ hang-on filter, skimmer and powerhead
-about 45lb of live rock (not enough, i know. heading out to get more in the next couple days)
-6line Wrassie. Maybe an inch long. Cute as can be, its like she has make-up on!
-Lawnmower Blenny. His name is Jack Blenny (any of you older folks, Jack benny? haha....no?) and is maybe 3in. Big guy. Eats like a lawnmower.
-Clownfish. Not sure which kind. Barely an inch, if that.
-Pajama fish. Um, 1 inch long, if that.
-11-13 red/blue legged crabs
-Emerald crab
-GIGANTIC snail. Like, huge. I don't know what he is.
-2 other smaller snails. Again, not sure. Don't seem to be much of a bother.
Aaaand heres a slight problem. I got it from a guy off craigslist. (thats why i don't know exact species) But he went swimming with a scuba diver, his friend..and they brought back an aquatic snails. Its illegal, apperantly. I don't know what it really is. Just looks like a snail to me.
So. After that, heres a few questions.
1. I don't think my tank is fully stocked. What would be compatible?
2. I found this orange worm. Kinda chunky, he swims up to the top (badly, i might add) curls into a ball and falls back down. Wrassie kept trying to eat. Hes very bright orange...any idea?
3. I also found a white starfish. small guy, long spidery 'arms'. Hides in a rock all day. Any harm in keeping him? What is it?
4. My LFS is about 30 minutes away and i hate making the commute often. I will for weekly maintenance and water changes, but any idea of somewhat lasting food for these guys? I have some DT plankton and just the pellets right now. Again, newly set up.
Sorry for all the questions. I just really wanna do this right. I've done freshwater since i was a little baby with my dad, but have never ventured into saltwater. Who better to ask but the experienced?
Thanks a ton!
