Good to know, the LFS tried to sell me a crab that looks exactly like the one pictured at the top, as an acro crab. Good thing it was shy I guess.

Lol, that sounds like a good plan. I see you are in Colorado Springs? I used to live in Fountain, CO and had a hell of a time finding any saltwater supplies out there. I hope you have better luck!

I've recently bought a few replacement/upgrade parts for my 12g & 24g nano-cubes from Nano-Tuners and Nano-Customs. I'm fairly happy with their service, but admittedly there isn't much that can go wrong with tank acessories besides shipping damage. I did have an issue where I bought a snap on...

I've had two clownfish in my 24g nano-cube at one time, but they were a mated pair and I have an anemone for them to live in. I've noticed that with the anemone in the tank they never really stray very far from it, so the limited space never really seemed to be an issue. However, if they...

The Xenia that I have spreads like crazy. If you place it next to live rock that it can reach out to and latch on, it should start to move right up the rock in no time. It is a really cool coral to sit and watch, but they grow like a weed. I had to resort to surrounding my colony of Xenia...

I had the same thing happen with my cleaner shrimp and it was indeed eggs. Since I first noticed them, there have been two nights where I've saw something floating around my tank after the lights were turned off. When I turned the lights back on there was a ton of tiny transparent baby shrimp...

It does look like an acro crab. They are pretty cool looking, but I thought that they only lived on acropora?

liveaquaria.com Corals I was able to order a small, yellow sun coral from liveaquaria.com, and I'd have to say that I don't think I could have asked for a better looking specimin. Within a few hours of adding it to my tank a few opened up and accepted food. Within a day all of the polyps were...

I've gone thru liveaquaria.com (Dr. Foster & Smith) for some saltwater feeder shrimps, and they were as good as can be expected. They delivered on time and I don't think I had any casualties in the shipment (until my mantis got to them :mrgreen: ). I haven't ordered anything larger yet...

Thanks Thanks for the replies. I noticed a couple of my xenia's "hands" had been snipped off, and was wondering if he could be the bandit. He likes to attach himself just above my anemone and nesting clownfish at night, so was wondering if he had his eyes set on the anemone or the fish but it...

Ok weird question time. I just bought an arrow crab from LFS, didn't notice until I got home, but it only has 3 sets of legs and a set of pinchers. Every picture I see online or any description that I've read for it says that they should have 4 pairs of legs and a set of pinchers and I've seen...

Thanks for the links Hey guys, I really appreciate all of the good links you've posted for me. :Cheers: Over the weekend I took the clownfish back to the fish store and traded him in for a smaller, tank raised, clownfish that doesn't use the anemone. Since then the anemone has started acting...

Thanks Thanks for the input guys, I'll look into upgrading my lights this weekend and let you know how it goes. The only thing I'm worried about for that light set-up you posted for me is that my tank has a fitted hood and I've got some blennies that like to jump. Hopefully they make...

Parameters Hey thanks for the reply. The anemone's condition has actually been going back and forth the last couple days, it'll be fully open and then next time I look at it, it is all closed up and crappy looking again. I had the water in my tank tested last night so I could post them here...

Hey all, recently added a small, green bubble tip anemone to my 24 gallon tank. When I introduced him to the tank he found a spot that provided good light and water movement and has not moved since, nor has the foot become unattached at any point. I've been feeding it some frozen krill and, up...

Ouch! Hey man, sorry for your loss. But I feel your pain. Just bought a Royal Gramma myself. However the fish store I got it from decided to sell me one out of their quarantine tank. Infected my whole tank with Ich and then the medicine they sold me killed off everything else. And they are...
