What do I feed a Green Star Polyp?

I have had some Green Star Polyps for a while and a little section of them died off because of my Bubble Tip Anemone insisting on being near the polyps. I am wondering how I can speed up the growth of them. I have had them for a while and they haven't really grown much if at all. Is there any...

I have had a Sixline Wrasse before and haven't noticed much difference. Also worth noting, I have rather large Bristleworms and I have read that Sixline's won't eat the larger worms. The reason I don't like them, besides looking creepy, is that they have a tendency to steal food from Coral as...

I have a rather large population of Brittle Worms in my tank and I would like to kill them all. I have a trap but I am finding it rather time tedious and time consuming to capture them. I find that they embed themselves in my rock. So far in the last six months I have managed to capture one...

I currently feed my fish a frozen variety food in addition to the crabs. One reason I liked the crabs is because it's quick and easy to feed them when I am in a hurry and also it's easy to feed the shrimp since they are small enough for them to grab. I hand feed both my shrimp and it's hard...

I have been using Tetra Micro Crabs for years to feed my fish because it is convenient and they seem to love it. I just discovered lately that they no longer produce it. I was wondering if anyone can recommend something comparable. Check out the following site for information on the product...

I think I will wait until it gets larger so that I can perhaps better identify it. The picture I showed you is about as good as I can get.

Is there any drawback to having an abnormally large population of little ones?

This is the best picture I can come up with. I suspect that it may be a Chocolate Chip Star. This little guy is probably in the area of about 3 to 4mm in diameter.

Can anyone tell me for sure if this is a Brittle Star or not? I have been stalking these little guys for quite some time and have been documenting what I have seen. I have for you two pictures of their tentacles that protrude out of the rock. I have what appears to be 10 or possibly countless...

Attached you should find photos of some stuff that I have in my tank. One of them is soft coral, the other an anemone and the last is something else that I have no idea what it is. I was hoping that someone could help me identify these creatures. Thanks

Is it easy to misidentify these bristle worms? I want to make sure that I am not misidentifying it as something else that may be harmful to my tank.

from what I have read, they are harmful to anemones and especially hard coral.

I have what I believe to be bristle worms. The one that I have seen is suspected to be quite large and embedded in a rock. I'd assume it's in the area of 12 inches but I am not sure because I have only seen part of it. I would like to get rid of it but I am not sure how. I have done some...

What would be the absolute best type of light to use for coral, anemones and fish? I am looking to buy a replacement lamp for my setup here and I have the following options: 6700K Daylight 6700K/10,000K Daylight 10,000K Daylight 460NM Actinic/10,000K Daylight 460NM Actinic 460NM Actinic/420NM...
