I had lost a couple of Acros recently and wanted to check my parameters and I had worred my salinity might be off. So on visiting a new LFS today I got another refractometer to compare with mine. I keep my DT and QTs at 35 ppt with the temperature at between 25 and 26 centigrade. My original...

Not sure if you can watch BBC I-Player outside the UK but here is a link to Attenborough's latest natural history programme..... http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b06t4j41/great-barrier-reef-with-david-attenborough-episode-1

Spotted this under one of my Zoanthid colonies... Hydroid perhaps...?

My Maxima has been suffering from pyramid snails for a couple of weeks now. I've been checking her every couple of days and removing any snails I find. She seemed to be looking better and then I went away for a few days. I got back today to find her looking like this. I've read a couple of...

Anyone idea on what these white threads might be on my new Acro frag?

Spotted this little snail on the outer shell of my clam. Is it a Rissoid HH or a baby Cerith snail (I have adults) or something more sinister....

Spotted some bleaching on my superman monti, Montipora danae but couldn't see anything munching on the coral but thought I would give it a go with my trusty pipette, bane of the Zoanthid slugs, and caught these three little devils. I presume these are the culprits.... I seem to be some...

Just got 3 acros today via mail order and after acclimatising them and setting them on the sand I spotted this little fellow. I'm hoping is is a nice Acro crab..... Thoughts please. Hopefully I will get some better pictures as it gets more comfortable in the tank.

Hi All, Just spotted this one one of my LFSs Facebook page..... https://www.facebook.com/158907790807841/photos/a.178886762143277.39845.158907790807841/1092987607399850/?type=3&theater

I've had my lovely clam now for a couple of weeks. She has attached to a rock and I've moved her up from the sand. She seems happy and is opening well and reacts quickly to light changes and shadows. My question is this. I was watching the tank and saw the clam rock forward and back (so...

One of my LFSs pasted this on their Facebook page and my other LFS told me about it..... http://reefbuilders.com/2015/10/20/yellow-tangs-finally-captive-bred-oceanic-institute/

One of my LFSs has just posted this on their Facebook page after returning from a UK trade show.... https://www.facebook.com/H2O-Aquatics-158907790807841/ https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=1078043918894219&id=158907790807841

I've been pondering keeping a wrasse and I'm concerned about it jumping out of my S-650 so I was wondering what, if anything other S-Max owners with fish with a tendency to jump have done to stop their fish going carpet surfing? Here in the UK you can get DIY mesh and frame covers that you cut...

I had Ich in my Red Sea 650. I managed to catch the fish and transfer them to another 400L tank I set up as a QT/hospital aquarium where I treated them with Cupramine as per the directions on the bottle. The fish had the specified 2 weeks of treatment. I'm now 2 weeks past the end of the...

My tank is now 4 months old. It is a Red Sea S-650 and my clean-up crew consists of the following: 6 red-legged hermit crabs 4 large black footed Trochus snails (down from 6) plus hundreds of babies 1 Large Mexican Turbo snail 5 Nassarius snails (down from 6) 1 Peppermint shrimp 5 Astraea...

I keep seeing a polychaete poking out of one of my Zoanthid rocks but have not been able to get either a good look at it or a decent photograph. It is quick though so I'm a little worried it is a Eunicid. However I did get a decent photo of this worm which lives under my GPS rock which I'm...

Whilst looking for Zoa eating nudibranchs I spotted this. A hydroid?

I've seen this beast once before and posted a very poor picture on here. This morning I caught it. It was moving across a rock and I got it with my pipette. It is now in a bowl in the sump. My thought is a Nemertean worm.... It is around 60-80mm long.

Is this just a black version of a Stomatella snail?

Rummaging around in the sump this morning I spotted 3 more small Stomatella snails, which promptly went up into the DT. I guess some of those eggs must have made it.... Anyway I also have lots of these developing which I presume is some sort of sponge. The biggest are around 6-7mm long...
