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...

I did a little research and believe that I currently have a ASM G2 Protein Skimmer that is rated to 200 gallons. The picture looks just a little different then what I have but it does have the same Sedra KSP-3500 pump so I figured it is as close as they come to what I have. Do you think this...

I took a look and one website is saying that Reef Octopus is just as good as Bubble King and the replacement parts for them are much easier to acquire than that of Bubble King. I am not concerned about the price of Bubble King, the problem is whether or not it will fit in the sump. So you would...

I have a 55 gallon tank and I had a 100 gallon skimmer just go out on me and I am looking into getting another one. I was thinking of perhaps getting a 75 gallon skimmer instead. What would be the recommendation? I am looking to get an the best quality replacement skimmer for my tank.

I currently have a 55 gallon tank. I have a couple of fish as well as some mushrooms, green star polyps and a sea anemone. The lighting I have now is 2 dual-bulbs that are approximately 3 feet in length. One of the bulbs is solid white and the other is a white and blue bulb. I am looking to...

Re: Excessive Detritus Issues Bifferwine: haha sorry, I meant to say detritus. I have only slept a few hours. Thanks for the idea, I will try it. Now about the trees in my yard..
