Yah I know the zoas on the last one. The sps is the lighter coral covering the top ill give a closer pic. the skeloton below the polyps is what was left after some die off. If that helps for ID. I originally got this piece for the zoas. At the LFS this sps was bleached and i thought it was dead...

Here is the other coral should I cut off the head or leave it. Just saw this was a sticky sorry if I should have made a new thread.

I have a ? about what to do with a frag that has die off on the lower half. A while back I got some rubble from the LFS to jumpstart a fuge I built. When I got it in I noticed some hard coral frags that were not completely dead so I took them out attached them to some rubble and put them in my...

It's still moving around with no tube but it isn't shriveled up. I'll target feed and see what happens. Thanks all Ryan

Yah I'm just letting it do its thing. It still has no tube but it's is moving around the fuge. I'm thinking it is looking for a place it likes. I don't really care where it ends up I'm just hoping it doesn't die it's pretty neat and I don't think I'll find one that small again. Thanks Yote.

I just went to the LFS and got a handfull of all the junk on the bottom of one of the tanks to beef up my fuge. Amongst the debris were various coral frags hard and soft (nice bonus) and all the stuff I was really after. (copes, pods, worms, mysis...) So I got it home and as I was acclimating...

Not sure if they were there from the start I just noticed them the other day. Yah I don't think they will hatch or if they do live very long after. Was just curious as to what they may be. Thanks for the reply. Ryan

Sorry, this pic shows the area that the eggs cover.

Hey got some eggs on a piece of live rock. They are very tiny. I've posted a close up and the whole rock for some perspective. It is a fairly new setup, about a month old. Here is what I've got in the main tank: Two oacillated clowns. Small about an inch and a half. (They are too young to spawn...

Cal 380, Alk 9.0, Ph 8.0, Phos 0, Nitrate 0, those r what i test. they have opened back up after i moved them. but they still dont look great i think something in the tank was really bothering them. Im going to keep watching them and see what happens. Thanks alot for the suggestions Ryan

yah same level and comparable flow

Got this zoe frag about a week ago. Up untill yesterday they looked great now they r closed and the size is reduced. I have another frag that was out of the same tank at the LFS and it is still doing great. I dont see anything eating them or any white dots. The dots in the pic r debris. I did...

It's a keyhole limpet. For the most part they are safe unless you have sps corals. (small polyp stony) They have been known to eat the fleshy part of them so if you do have sps I would get rid of it. If you don't have sps it should not be a problem. They eat algae but if they get low on food...

Definitely a catapillar! :-D Joking!!!

Hmmmm... I agree it does not look quite right. Can you get pics from the ends of it? Ryan

Well is your sump lit up. In my tank they have alwayse been in greater numbers on the underside of live rock or other places that do not get direct light. That is not to say you will not have any in direct light. Just what I've observed. It likely has to do with flow of water, food, and particle...

Ummm not sure of the actual name of them. But, it is a flatworm, if the ones you have look like the ones in the pics then you have nothing to worry about. It is the red or redish ones that you want to get rid of.The six line wrasse is known to eat flatworms so does a velvet nudibranch. The clear...

Thanks for the support guys, just got all of my supplies tonight. I'm using a 5.5gal tank, 10lbs. aragonite reef sand and a small Tetra air driven filter. However I havent decided if I want to build an overflow into the tank. My wife has me on a budget so I'm going to have to piece together any...

Do they look like this? If so this type of flat worm is fine they eat algae. If you see any other color than the clear white get rid of it fast. Ryan

Ok well I am going to set up another tank to hopefully breed some Nerite snails. I've done quite a bit of reading but most stuff is pretty vague or contradicting, so this is going to be a bit of trial and error. If anyone out ther has done it, let me know would you? Going to start tomorrow I'll...
