Looks like a limpit snail.

I use PurpleUp. It works great to raise both the calcium and iodine levels needs for the inverts. Good luck with your shrimp bro.

Thanks for the info. I know they are pretty invasive, i just hate to see a coral die off and not know why. Ill try the dip and see what happens. You may be right about it being a possible parasite or something.

Im right now turning my 12 gallon tank into a seahorse tank. From what ive found out is they need low flow and need to be trained to eat frozen shrimp. The captive bred ones tend to be easier. They also need consistant water quality. Unlike the clowns which can be more adaptive to water...

I placed both the kenya and toadstool into the higher flow area, with both reacting in a negative manner. im keeping both in a moderatre flow area right now with only the toadstool looking better. I think its problem with from that crab i found. I still have not been able to ID it. But the kenya...

I had alot from a LR i bought, I added 2 peppermints to it and they took care of it over about 3 months. The only problem i have heard when it comes to peppermints is that if the aptasia is to big, they wont be able to effectivly control it. If thats that case, it hve heard that copperband...

So far that is the case. Ive have the Goniopora for almost 2 months with nothing going wrong with it. Thats why im so confused here. All the corals that were supposed to be easy (toadstool and kenya) are not doing great, and the ones that are supposed to be hard(Goniopora) are doing good.

Sorry, havnt been able to get on here over the past few days. My pH is at 8.3. The only thing i could think of was the alkalinity, so i got some new buffer and will see what happens with that. I dont have pics at this time, but ill add some soon. It seems to be the same though, some of the...

Would an Iodine dip do anything at this point or would that just be a waste of time.

I just read an article that stated that some speices of toadstool leathers can produce toxins that can hard other tanks habitants. I was wondering if this might have happened and some how effected my kenya.

Water tested last night was Nitrate: .10 Phosphate: .5 Calcium: 380 Hardness: 7 Salinity: 1.024 Its been almost 2 weeks since my last water change and i know i have nirates and phosphate, but this has been going on for maybe a little over a month now. The kenya is still standing up straight...

Its been about a month now and my kenya tree has not opened up like it used to. I check my water and do water changes every 2 weeks, about 24 gallons on my 75 gallon tank. my nitrates, phosphate, salinity, calcium are all good. I also noticed my toadstool leather has shrunken up as well over...

Its a sea robin. They are pretty cool, I used to catch a ton on singer Island.

I had this same probelm with both of my tanks. My first as a Nano 10 gallon and my New tank and a 75 gallon. I cured this problem by uping my water changes to once and week and cutting my lighting time to only 4 hours a day. This was before i added corals. Within a week it cleared up. I would...

Thanks for the info, The lights are T5 HO's, i will check to see if they have individual reflectors. Thanks again for the help.
