How often should I change my UV bulbs? Specs says the bulb is good for 12,000 hours (500 days) but I have heard that it is not effective that long. Thanks.

Thanks all - I will report parameters here tomorrow. I will also change the UV bulbs and try to get a pic of him to post. I feed the nem every 3 days or so. Thanks Nick and Emmett.

I believe it is a Stichodactyla gigantea, called a "true carpet anemone".

Hi, I have had a Yellowstripe Maroon Clown and carpet anemone for a few years. The clown has done great with the anemone. I just did a water change yesterday and this morning the clown looks pretty beat up - several white spots on his body and a tentacle from the anemone stuck to his tail. It...

Royal Gramma aka Fairy Basslet.

Thx Little - do you have a link to a good source for more research?

Shoot, just seeing the other post about goldfish. What other food items can I feed?

I will be checking water soon and doing a water change tonight. Nothing new that I can think of.... He did eat a goldfish about an hour ago (sorry Cheeser, fed him before reading your post) so we'll see if he keeps it down.

Hi, thanks for the response, he is the alpha-angel for sure, no one picks on him at all, he is the largest angel in the tank. He chases a smaller navarchus angel sometimes. He eats like a pig and is pretty beefy. I feed good, frozen foods - Emerald Entree, Angel & Butterfly, Marine Cuisine...

Thx all, he is eating great and I feed very high quality foods, so I'll just watch him and re-post if it gets worse.

My Emprorer has the same thing, but not as bad, at the same color change stage. How did yours end up?

A good Ultraviolet filter system works well to control many micro-parasites like Ich.

My middle-aged Emporer Angel is almost all the way through his color change and has developed some small pale white-ish blotches on his skin. Definitely not ich. Any ideas?

What about the Nitrate, Dart?
