So I was moving rocks around in my tank yesterday and found some hitchhikers. I'm pretty sure they are Majano Anemones but would appreciate it if someone who has actually seen these before could take a look. I have heard of people that keep these, and people who kill them asap - are there...

Thanks, I appreciate it!

Thanks guys, I appreciate it! I need to get a turkey baster - that sounds like a great idea. And sorry, I bought it as a "flower" leather, but from everything that I've seen it's a cabbage leaf leather. I hear they're pretty hearty and it's growing really fast.

I have a good size golden head gobie that has made it his hobbie to sift sand over my newly added (1 - 2 months) corals. My mushrooms and button polyps seem to be able to shake it off, but my flower leather is getting a collection of sand in the base of each "flower." I tried to move the coral...

Hi all, awhile back there was a great link to a site that showed pics of common aquarium bugs. If you know what I'm talking about, could you please reply with the link? I can't find it or real pics online to save my life. This morning I woke up to a clear tick/shrimp looking thing running...

Thanks all, I apprecite the replies. It has since swelled back up and is moving up and out of the hole. LOL, now that it is on the move I will have something new to obsess over :D Good to know they do this after eating - I'll try not to freak out next time.

Hi all, I added a BTA to my tank on Saturday and it has been doing great - I thought. It has stayed swelled up and ate krill last night. All of the sudden it deflated and "fell" into a hole in the LR that it had been hanging out on. It is normally a reddish color (not a rose though) and now...

LOL, I would buy the super touchy skimmer :roll: Sorry to hear that you had a flood too s13redline! It is a HOB setup for now - when I am ready to tackle a sump this will be the first place I come. I appreciate all the help and advice - this is more information than I got with the...

This is great information - thank you all so much!

I top off my tank weekly using water treated with water conditioner/dechlorinator - it does have something in it for slime coat as well. I had heard that additives could drive a skimmer crazy, but I haven't had any problems so far and haven't changed anything I've been using. Do you think this...

:cheerful: That would be amazing, thank you! I can get away with a $200 - $300 price range I think. I appreciate the links as I tend to get crosseyed with all of the initials that are involved in lighting - something I will get over as I learn more, I'm sure. Thanks again!

Thanks - I should've known to give more details :D The tank is a 55 gallon - the standard 4 ft long x 18.5 in deep by my measurement. I have a 2" Aragonite sand bed and the tank is FOWLR now. It has been established for 4 years and I have had it for a little under a year (it was set up and...

I am interested in upgrading my lighting and would love some advice. My water quality is great, and I would like to add some mushrooms to my tank, and possibly an anemone for my clown. I have the basic 2 bulb light strip now. What would be the easiest and least expensive lighting to add? My...

I am relatively new to the hobby (having inherited a set up tank) and have a Coral Life Super Skimmer on my 55 gallon tank. This has run perfectly for 6 months, and has been freaking out for the last 2 weeks. It has overflowed 4 times, each time with no warning and clear water. It just happened...

Thanks for your reply - I will look into that! Unfortunately the clown died a few days after this post, but I would like to make sure my other fish aren't affected if it is contagious or still in my tank.
