    Some unwelcome guests

    There are many different ways of capturing a Mantis Shrimp, but most methods involve removing the LR from the tank. A very easy method which is minimal invasion of the tank is a trap. You first need a small plastic soda bottle; 16oz is perfect. Cut the top of the bottle neck off at the...

    Some unwelcome guests

    Mantis shrimp can play havoc on a tank and should be kept in a species tank. I think you can buy a mantis trap on line. People have made their own by cutting the top off a soda pop bottle to form a funnel and reverse the cut part of the bottle so the top is inside the bottle. Be sure to take...

    Washed out Sabae Anemone

    Knowing what you did wrong and trying to get it a good home is a step in the right direction. :thumbup: :thumbup: to you for doing this. I would gladly take it but too far of a drive for me. Good luck on finding it a good home.

    New Kid on the Block.. Needs HELP!!!

    First thing you'll need to do is to decide what kind of tank you want to keep. Fish only or mixed reef. This will play a big part on the equipment you will need. As burntricer said read as much as you can to get yourself familiar with the saltwater world. Good lighting and pristine water quality...

    You said you redirected the flow. This is probably what made the nem move. As stated, check all water params and try to get the water flow back like it was.

    Just leave it alone. Probably came from a tank with less lighting than you have so it will take time for it to adjust to your lighting.

    What the hell is this thing

    What ever you do don't touch it. Bristles can do a number on your fingers. Gloves are a must.

    What is he up too?

    Anemone's need T5 or mh lighting.A roaming anemone is a unhappy anemone. Also feeding smaller bits of food is better than large bits because the anemone has to use a lot more energy digesting larger pieces. Food should be no bigger than 1/4 to 1/2 the size of the anemone's mouth. The food should...

    spot feeding?

    Silversides or any fish are not a big part of a diet for most of the anemones that we keep. H.mag, and S.hadoni may be the exceptions, and even then, fish arent the biggest part of their diet. Small plankton(without bones) is a better diet for them. Mysis shrimp and cyclop-eeze is also good to feed.
