It's looking like my peppermint shrimp is an asshole. I bought a brand new dendrophyllia last week. Put it in the upstairs tank....3gal pico. Not the best idea because nitrates up to 80ppm. So today I moved him down to the main tank which is mature and established. I feed the dendro via...

I just picked up a dendrophyllia today. Then I had a bright idea: Instead of putting it in my display tank....how about I put it in the 3 gallon pico tank that I got. This is going to be a "coral only" tank. So I took some water (~2gallons) from my display tank, 2 piece of live rock and some...

As the title states.....and the entire area that the "red slime" stuff is occupying....USED to be occupied by some real tough green hair algae. I then got a lawnmower blenny. Is the slime going to attempt to consume my Zoa? Is this bad slime? Good slime? Otherwise? thank you

My two clowns have finally figured out who's the female. They used to host the thermometer at night time and they would swim around the tank in the daytime. Now they are hosting the thermometer and the "water intake" (in my JBJ 24ga nano tank) in the daytime. How do I discourage this...

So this "string" of "fleshy brown material" just came out of my huge torch coral. The coral had like 6 heads when I got it.....2 died. I'm not sure what this is. thanks if you can help:

Hi, sorry for the noob thread.... But now both my clowns (the big one AND the small one) who have been in this tank now for about a month are shaking violently in front of each other in the day time. Is this trying to figure out who's dominant or is it a signal of bad water quality? The...

What does it mean when a clown shakes violently in front of its friend? I got two immature clowns....one is bigger than he other and is a big bully. I was under the impression that shaking was a subordinate thing? Why would the bigger clown shake in front of the sub clown? Also....if you...

So I bought a Maxima clam about...2? months ago. I originally was going to go to Home Depot, buy a tile, then put the clam on it in the sand bed....so I could quickly move him around if I need to. Instead, I decided to get "artistic" and I put the clam on a piece of live rock that has a shelf...

JBJ 24ga nano tank. 6mos old. There is some green algae (dark green) on the right hand side of the tank, underneath the powerhead......that refuses to scrape off with a conventional scrape brush. Also, the rock that is near the side of the tank....COVERED in green hair algae that's thick...

Found a few long flat worms in my tank in the daytime today.....I'm seeing at least 1 worm on each of the live rocks....seems to be some sort of "worm explosion". if the pics below aren't clear....the worm is half white and half grey. Good or?

So I went to Coral Obsessions (again) today to get some water....walked out with a few Zoa frags and a nice bubble tip nem. Came home and basically had to re-arrange my entire tank again so that I could find a nice rock for all my zoas. I think one of the owners of Coral Obsessions is on this...

Got a starfish in my tank....he's been there for about 3 weeks now. It appears as if someone attacked his arm....the only culprit (aside from the two immature clownfish) is the emerald crab. Can I get your guys thoughts on how he looks? Also....my nitrates jumped up to 40ppm since 3 days...

I own my own business, but I work from home. I have a room that's a dedicated home office that's only used for business. This is where my tank resides. I'm wanting to write it off this year, but not sure if my CPA will give me the nod....and it's a lot of accounting to do on my end. With that...

I got a 6 month old JBJ Nano AIO tank. Has a few coral frags, 2 clowns and a baby yellow tang. When the tang gets a little bigger, I have to re-home it due to tangs not supposed to be in small tanks. I was at Petsmart this past weekend getting food for my Savannah cats. I happened to walk...

I'm sitting on my couch working.....and In the corner of my eye, I see my two clowns and baby yellow tang REALLY low in the tank....it looks as if they're eating something in the water. It's been 2 hours since I fed them....so it's not the fish flakes. I get closer and the thing in the picture...

So I have a small yellow watchman goby and two juvenile Da Vinci clowns. The yellow watchman has been hanging out near the top of my tank for the past 4 days I have had him. The clowns have also been in the tank for about 4 days as well. The bigger of the two clowns is doing the same. My...

For the past 6 months I have been getting my water at a local fish store....they carry Catalina water. I was under the impression they take a boat out in the channel, scoop up some water and bring it back. I was at a coral shop today and they claimed that Catalina water doesn't even do...

So I was enjoying my tank at 4pm this afternoon....when I saw what appeared to be a worm of some sort....and it was colored blue. It had many little "bristles" on it. It was headed straight for my Maxima clam so I jumped up and grabbed my long plastic tweezers to nab that sucker. Well it was...

On a scale of 1-10.... Today I bought my first "big boy" coral. A torch. The other corals I had were tiny frags. So the guys at the shop suggested I dip before putting it in my main tank.....and after some quick mental math of how much money, blood, sweat and tears I have poured into this...

The Nazi's over at ReefCentral chased me away because apparently I used the word "***" in a post....and that offended the Gestapo female mod (I have nothing against female mods). Apparently that's considered a "cussword" and apparently I didn't apologize profusely while she called me out on it...
