I bought a Blue Hippo Tank a week ago from a LFS. It is about 3 1/2" long so it's close to mature, if not already. It was in a tank with lots of other Hippos and looked very healthy. Since I've had it home it won't eat. I've tried various frozen foods, pellets and seaweed salad with no...

These are about one year old now. No fancy camera, just a Sony Point & Shoot is all I have.

I think my anemone just ate my Coral Banded Shrimp!! :frustrat: All that I can see are antennae and from arms sticking out. Unbelievable! How stupid could the CBS have been?? This is the first time I have ever had an anemone eat a tank mate. Is that normal?? Jeez, I'm bummed out...

So next weekend is my birthday and my wife and son got me a Yellow Watchman Goby today. He is very nice, almost 3" long, beautiful yellow with little blue spots. The most passive fish I have had in a long time. So as soon as I introduce him to the tank my Powder Brown Tang starts chasing him...

How or do Feather Dusters reproduce? I have a Feather Duster that is actually two attached together. The other day I noticed another tube poking up from the substrate. Not sure if it's the tail end of the main tube or a new one. :dunno: Any ideas?? Thanks :D

Taken with my Sony Cyber-shot 5.1 mega pixel point and shoot, on automatic setting with no flash.

I just went through an eight month ordeal of living with and getting rid of a mantis shrimp! Arrgh :frustrat: So now, last night I hear this snapping sound just like when the mantis was here. It was 2 or 3 snaps in a row and then quiet for a awhile and then again. In my tank thread I described...

So I was looking at my tank last night and noticed that my CBS has lost one of his large arms! :sad: Will it come back? Maybe when he molts next time? I hope!! :grumble:

I read somewhere on here that older hydrometers will give false readings after a couple of years. I was out shopping the other day and decided I would get a new hydrometer just in case. When I got home I tested my water and sure enough the old one read that my water was right on. The new one...

They only open the tops during the night. As soon as lights start coming on, they close up. Thanks :D

Do you or should you do anything with the dusters tubes? Such as bury them or stick them in a hole in the rock? Thanks :D

I recently removed a HUGE Stone crab from my main tank because he was eating all of my snails and hermits. His only saving grace was that I thought he had also eaten my pesky Mantis Shrimp. Now that the crab is gone, look what showed up! :grumble: YIKES!!! :shock:

So, back in January I restarted my tank with live rock from Tampa Bay Salt Water. As with all of his customers, my rock came with all manner of live creatures. Wanting to give everyone a fair chance at survival I was reluctant to just cast out any little crab I saw. Well, as a result I now...

Keeping in mind that this is a "family" forum, and that members under legal age might be reading, what in the world are my two anemones doing? Day before yesterday the smaller one was spewing a creamy, milky fluid out of the center of it's body and today the other did the same, only in a more...

So I finally saw him and now want to catch him. I built the plastic bottle trap, baited it with some Mysis and for two nights went hunting. NOTHING! :frustrat: So...am I doing something wrong? Not giving it enuff time? Exactly how big should this trap be? The Mantis is small, < 1". Wrong...

I have two of the first type and one of the second. All three came in my second shipment from TBS. All 3 seem happy. They aren't moving all over the place, seem to found a spot they like. Any info is welcomed. Thanks! :Cheers: Charlie

There are at least 3 of these on this one sponge. I'm hoping they are not Majano Anemones. :grumble: If they are a foe, how best can I get rid of them without hurting the host sponge?? Thanks Charlie

For the starfish, I'd have to say it's a Brittle Star and not a Serpent.

Well it seems that spring is in the air and in my tank. With spring comes LOVE :mrgreen: And I seem to find that my snails must be pretty happy each other. There are small snails popping up all over the place. As well as some unusual looking deposits on my glass. So how do snails reproduce...

I have an Ocellaris Clown that is about 5 years old. He is in my new tank and the only fish. I was at the LFS today and they have the most adorable baby Maroon Clown there. Because of the size difference, is there any way the two would get along? The Maroon is about 1/3rd the size of the O.C...
