Got some live rock and this began slowly popping up. These sprouts are about two months old and about an inch long. Kinda seems like they have bands of fuzz every eighth of an inch or so. Not sure what they are please help.

Ok gonna start the build thread for our 35g hex seahorse tank. I've had it up for a little over two months now taking it nice and slow making sure that I get it all right and the tank is in perfect shape. I still need better lights and decent powerheads. We are also in the brainstorming for...

Hello, Have decided to get horses. I have a 35gallon hex tank with about 40 pounds of rock. I am trying to decide whether to go erectus or kelloggi. I have read that erectus are the best beginner horse and would probably fit my tank the best. I trust this site for information because you...

ok so I am using an API test kit that I bought and the calcium test kit is a titration. I know that 15 drops of solution number two indicates 4-500 ppm but what I need to know is what does having to use more drops mean?

OK so my clownfish has had just a minor whiteish film on it for a few days. it does seem to be getting better but my clown is just acting down in the dumps... I have been reading that people give freshwater dips to their clowns and was wondering in this case if it might be something to consider...

OK so I had a clam die in my tank and I got it out fairly quickly after it died. well ever since this event (not even positive the two are related) I have had an algae that looks similar to spider webs. it covers my corals and of course they don't like it and wont come out at all and I'm...

OK so I have a drag of green star polyps that has nicely attached itself to one of my rocks... it has an "arm" that I can't seem to train down onto the rock. what are the possibilities of cutting this piece off and attaching it to a nearby rock? if it is possible how would I do it?

ok so I have had these tentacles stretching out of the sand/crushed coral on the floor of the tank. Since I am currently in the process of slowly modifying the floor of the tank I have been moving a little at a time and finding small things here and there. Well tonight I started shifting the...

Ok wasnt sure where to put this thread so I thought in the new to reefing would be a good choice. So at the beginning of my saltwater tank hobby I had a 20 gallon tank while I got my other tank set up. I decided to get some lace rock as a cheap alternative to buying live rock! These pieces...

Hey got this soft coral from my local fish guy but just forgot what it was called

Ok so in my 55 gallon I have had a diatom bloom and so I went lights out for a while. I think I have things under control now thank god. I had been running my actinics only and it really seems like the corals and all of the snails and hermits like it a lot. I kinda like the look of it too to...

ok so I got a small piece of live rock and all seemed normal... I started noticing a small anenome type creature that has translucent tentacles with opaque tips. It has been getting larger rather quickly. Tonight it was out very far and looked somewhat like a spider web and on the inside of...
