The green thing growing on my zoa frag

I posted about these a while back for an ID & learned they were pineapple sponges & good for the tank. I dont mind them growing in the tank, but they are really starting to take over this poor zoa frag. They are on the sides & back that you cant see too. Should I remove them and if so what...

Sorry for the bad pic, lights were out. I'm bored today, can you tell?

Hello all, besides my 55 reef, I also have a 125 fish only tank. I used to have a very large v. lion & lime green wrasse, and after a disaster of last xmas vacation, all I have now is a stars & stripes puffer. The tank is pretty boring right now & since the loss of the other fish I've really...

I have had lions for the last 5 years & only had one close encounter. Just a brushing against my arm that stung just a little. I always had big lions & have just recently got a fuzzy dwarf (my first one), then another one Friday. After acclimating it I was trying to let it out of the bag...

What if you were to unexpectedly die, what would happen to your fish & tanks? May sound crazy, but I have been having some health issues & have to go see a cardiologist next week. Which that is scary thought in itself, guess I've been thinking too much lately. If something were to happen to...

You know how when you use Reynolds aluminum foil it seems to always fall out of the box & you get all mad & try to roll it back up? Well there seems to be 2 tabs on either side that you push in that holds it in place. Did anyone else know that?

Hi all! I've been on this site for a couple of months now researching like crazy before I turned my fish only tank into reef. It's all BigAl's fault! I was perfectly happy with just fish for 5 years until he told me about RS! After running into many problems (high ph, nitrates & phosphates out...

My camera takes decent pics of everything except my tank. The colors are never the same. Just a normal tank shot looks bad or at least doesnt look like the same tank. Actinic shots are impossible w/o flash too dark, w/flash too bright might as well not have actinics on. The camera is a (dont...

I'm not sure if this is something growing b/t the polyps or if it was a polyp. Any info greatly appreciated! Sorry about the bad pic, camera doesnt like close-ups!

As most of you know, I had to take my lion to LFS due to feeding issues with a wrasse & puffer. Well the wrasse died, lion still at LFS & my stars & stripes puffer is absolutely so lonely & bored I think he's getting depressed! I'm almost 100% positive I'm gonna leave the lion where he is (had...

Everytime I go on vacation a fish dies. Last time (Aug.) it was my grouper, now this time my wrasse. I had the wrasse, a puffer & a lion in my 125. Right before we left I took my lion to the LFS b/c I had been having issues with the puff & wrasse not letting the lion eat. I was scared he might...

In my 125 I have a V. lion, Stars & Stripes puffer & Lime Green Wrasse. The lion has hardly eaten in 2 1/2 to 3 weeks now. The puffer has been with the lion for almost 2 years, the wrasse added a couple of months ago. These too are so hyper & crazy that the lion gets spooked & refuses to eat...

I just recently decided to go reef. I got some zoas almost 2 weeks ago & my fish are trying to eat them, or at least will not stop picking on them. Is it possible to have fish for too long then never being able to try to start with frags? I have a blue velvet damsel, sabae clown & false...

This is growing on a small piece of dead coral rubble, or at least I thought it was dead, I have no idea now. It looks like brown algae until you look at it up close. But when disturbed it retracts. It's growing like crazy too.

I got my sump set up today and everything is working fine except for one problem. I am having to use an overflow box. The siphon is good, even tried the "power failure test", but in the sump where the water comes in is like a jacuzzi! The overflow box where the standpipe is is actually very...

This is a Lime Green Wrasse in my 125.

I have a 55 going reef this week, first addition will be zoas. There is a black velvet damsel that is around 4+ " in the tank. I have been reading & seems that it would not be reef safe, unless I'm wrong someone let me know. I've had this fish for probably around 4 years. I know everyone...
