I was taking out red mushrooms from tank and I put them inside of a container in the sump so I could sell them later. A week later it looked like they dissolved and it smelled terrible. Do mushrooms release toxins or was it ammonia from them decaying? Some of my stuff did start taking a hit...

I already have a 5 inch Melanarus wrasse in my tank, but I also like the Leopard wrasses. Yes, I know they are "expert only", but how would my Melanarus react to one being introduced to my tank?

My Teninus acro frag has started to whiten around where its polyps are. The polyps toward the top have receded. It was on the sand bed receiving some flow and was also not getting stung by anything. I thought about an Alkalinity spike, but I only added about 10ml to my 130g system an entire week...

Every time I see a Tiger Goby, they always seem to just dig a big crater instead of sand-sifting. Does anyone seem to get that?

So right. Its a shame all angels aren't reef safe, but then one might say that if that were the case then we would have overcollected them. I've heard that all the dwarf angels eventually turn rogue. A guy said he had a Coral Beauty for 4 years and it eventually started eating corals. Even the...

The tank is covered because of the other fish that I know would have jumped if it wasn't for my screen. Do you guys know about the care for Wantanabei Angels?

You may have just saved my reef with that post about the flame angel. I was just at one of my LFSs and was considering getting a pair. The guy said he never had any trouble with any of them. On a side note, how is your experience with your Blue Jaw?

Look up New York Stello on YouTube. He did a video on his.

I was thinking of having an Angelfish in my tank. I think a lot of the dwarfs are pretty but after having a run in with my first Foxface I don't want to risk it. I was thinking of a Wantanabei, Lamarck, or Zebra. I was leaning toward the Watanabei because the male resembles a Sohal Tang and that...

With having the fish side by side, even someone who's been in the hobby for years might have trouble. The Diphreutes are planktovorous so they won't touch coral. I wouldn't trust the fact that the fish is with zoas and star polyps because my foxface has its pick of all sorts of corals but he...

If you get an eel, don't add another one afterwards. One person bought a snowflake eel from one of those containers with a few other snowflake eels in there. They liked it and came back a week later, and bought another snowflake from the same container. Sadly the eel that was already in the tank...

High flow and high light?

I was looking at an Aussie Table Top, a Montipora Cap, and a Bird's Nest coral to add to my reef. I already have other SPS so I was wondering where a next step should be. What do these other corals require to grow? Thanks.

snowflake would be the easiest and probably least aggressive.

One of my LFS has the regular leopard wrasses in their frag tank for about 2 months. These guys have trained mandarins to eat pellets so if anybody could get a potter's to eat it would be them.
