i have a 45 gallon tank that im looking to sell. i have about 50lbs of live rock, about 20 assorted corals (nothing too fancy) a few anemone and a couple fish, as well as a variety of cleaners (snails crabs etc.). i run a 75g canister filter and a 60g skimmer. im looking to sell the entire setup...

i have a few questions about my emerald crab and serpent star... the other day when i fed my tank my emerald crab came bolting out from the rocks, which he doesnt usualyy do (i almost never see it) the concern i had was that he is turning white. it almost looks like a calcium build up on the...

cool...so any guesses as to what its name is? ninja????

heres a jpeg if thats easier...

the picture is kind of dark and a little misleading, its shadowy. the colour of the anemone is actually the lightest colour you can see, the darker areas are just shadows

ive been trying to upload the picture but it says the file errored. its just a jpeg???

ok, i found an old camera, im not sure the best way to post the picture though...

no...thats way too red. its a flesh coloured body with lighter cream coloured tentacles. they are very short and banded with the cream colour. when it lays flat on the sand its not completely covered in tentacles, they stick up and move slightly in the current, they edges however are covered in...

ive had this anemone for about 2 years now, in the store it was labelled sand anemone. ive looked online and cant find anything by that name, it lays flat on the substrate and its kind of pink with short cream coloured tentacles (dont know what to call them??). its about the size of a CD lying...

last week i got 2 small ocellaris clowns that had not yet determined their sex. they did a little dance for a couple of days and now i believe they have figured out who wheres the pants in the relationship... i have a frogspawn coral set up in the centre of the tank, along with other various...

aside from a whole host of inverts (snails/hermits ect) i would stock it with a couple of smaller schooling fish....something that will stay in the middle of the water column. but if your looking for one larger fish i would get a kole tang or dwarf angel...coral beauty maybe. careful with the...

i agree with the water changes. i have found in my tank at least that you can kill it if you tried. it grew very quick (even in poor water conditions). sometimes it takes a few days to grow back and extend fully if its been roughed up or moved around. how large is the frag? they way not open as...

i just used the coke bottle method and it worked great. i had a red-spotted hawkfish that was causing problems with my inverts and lawnmower blenny. the bottle was in there for 10 minutes or so before he got trapped in it. just put some rocks or sand in it to weigh it down.

yeah thats exactly what these guys are doing, it looks like they are twitching. the smaller one seems to be more dominant so far, the larger one has been submissive, does the colouration have anything to do with it? because the larger one is missing a white stripe on one side of his body and it...

thats pretty cool, is it more likely that once they figure all that out that they will find an anemone to host in?
