Any1 know how to get rid of these things? I cant really feed too much less considering i have 2 green chromes, 1 clown, 1 scopa tang, 1 seahorse and 1 lyretail anthias. Larger bioload for a reef tank i know... but i also have many snails, hermits, a cleaner shrimp and beneficial bristle worms in...

Great article! Thank you

Ok thanks guys...i also just found out that its a red ball sponge. Beautiful color, hope he doesnt kick the bucket

Hello everyone. i just bought an orange paddle/tree sponge (but not in the shape of a paddle) it is more red than orange and is about 4 cubic inches...does any1 know what kind this could be? The store had it labeled as a paddle but im skeptical due to the shape...i was dusting it off under water...

Ur skimmer problem....do u use RO water or city water? also 20% water change every 14 days should be routine...

bristle worms...good for your tank. That shrimp was just molding, and they were eating it...they scavenge for food and detritus.

everything gbose said and maybe a phosphate pad in ur filter...do u use RO, DI, or tap water? Have algae problems in general? Set ur lights for 12 hrs on n 12 off if not already. How often do u feed your fish and what kind/how many fish do you have? sorry so many questions but i want to help...

I actually tank cultivate them, VERY sensitive to high lighting...they should flourish when u move them under the rock....once doing well acclimate SLOWLY to higher lighting

Excellent, Thank you. I have noticed he is already back to normal!

Does any1 here have any experience with Green Nepthea soft corals? I have a 2" frag that was bitten a few times by an aiptasia eating file fish. The bite marks are small and it just opened up after being closed for 2 days. I now have it quarantined and was wondering how well it will do to repair...

No, surprisingly he knows what he is supposed to eat. Doesn't mess with anything, just the shrimp and mussels I feed him every other day...He is awesome, I've had him for 4 years now... but the relationship is bittersweet cuz i can't have any invertebrates for the time being. Also he is bigger...

Yungreefer what does IMO stand for? Also they are T5's.

Thanks man, nice to meet you too. I was afraid sum1 would say that.....looks like I'm looking for new lights......im always thirsty!

Hey everyone, I am new to this site and was hoping to gain some knowledge on reef keeping. I've had a 55 gal. saltwater aquarium for over 8 years now, but am new to reef keeping....I currently have a green spotted puffer, a clown, curly q anemone and a colony of...u guessed it -- 21 pink clove...
