    Crab ID Please

    Found this guy in my tank today. Any idea what it is? Besides not going back in my tank? I ordered pods from GetYourPods about a year ago and after I was about halfway through dumping them in I noticed a tiny tiny little crab in with them. I pulled out 3 or 4 from the remaining bags, but no...

    Maxspect gyre and the max

    Algae ID

    Hi All, I have a quarter size tuft of this stuff growing in my frag tank. I'm almost certain it's bryopsis, but the fact that it's very very blue has me a bit unsure. It's very tough and does not pull off the plastic very easy. In any case, I have been meaning to make new FT racks and...

    BRS is pimping this stuff now. I have long considered going to "premium" salt mix and stop using IO reef crystals. I'd love to switch to aquavitro salinity, but it's so hard to come by in my area. HW marine seems to have solid credentials. Wondering if any of you have any experience with it...

    Stumped on what this is!

    It looks like an upside down snail. The rock this coral came on was purchased well over a year ago and has grown on this rock. It was in the back of my tank and didn't see this side of the rock until I put it down in my FT. Any ideas?
