that looks like a flatworm to me

i agree, if your able to take the rock out that is wht i would do. but I would not use boiling water, if you use freshwater that will do the trick also and you wont kill the guy. alot of times you can take him to the LFS and they will give you credit for the guy or someone would take him off...

I would just keep an eye on them and see what happens. sounds like the tank is in good shape. and the sponges to be exact sound like a pineapple sponge (clathrina,leucosoienia,scypha) that is actualy a good sign that the water is in good shape, they feed on particulate matter in the water.

how long have they been in the tank???? and what type of light do you have and what type of light did they come from. there could be several factors attributing to this problem. number one, they just arent acclimated to the tank yet. number 2 they may still be getting used to the light...

yeah, he is pretty but look at those claws!! i would not have him in my reef. but yes he is ver pretty, I love the contrast in colors. but I am sure he is a nasty little buggar

go with some softies, mushrooms, zoo's the trigger willl not nip at them and they will add some color most definately to the tank. I would steer away from the stoney.

I would hold off on the clam. you want an established tank for the clam, they will put nutrients out of the water when they are younger. what kind of tank you running (size, type of lights, amount of live rock). the gramma would be a good addition. well its good to hear its not a mantis...

if you have got some rubbermaid tubs. you can store your live rock in a tub just soak some newspaper heavily in tank water and pack them in that. as for the fish. I would get as big a tub asyou can get, the more water in there the more oxygen. I would get them in a tub and get a powerhead...

your small nudi could be a flatworm. http://melevsreef.com/id/ this is a great ID site. Mark is a great guy with alot of knowledge. hope this helps. GREG

Chris, this is just my opnion on a DSB. this is what I have been running in my 50 gallon, 92 gallon and soon to be 240 gallon. I run a bed that is anywhere from 4 to 5 inches deep. the reason for this is to create anaerobic zones (lacking oxygen) this is a place where your nitrobacter and...

on your mantis, if you have the option of getting them out so you can make a positive ID I would recommend that, if indeed they are mantis, your gonna want to get them out. they are FIERCE hunters and probably one of the mose intellegent inverts you can keep. they will wipe out your snails...

Well, your on the right track, get your homework done first. read and research as much as possible. www.melevsreef.com is a great link to better understanding sumps. A sump is a very good idea for your tank like you said it incrases water volume and a refuge for pods. The name of the...

a 125 will be fine for a couple of tangs. that will give them enough space to where they are not fighting. make sure you give them some algae to eat. like nori or something like that. in one of my 240 gallon tanks I have a hippo, yellow and a sailfin and they get along great!!!!

yes I agree with John, freshwater fish lack lipids which is most important. also lions are awesome but messy eaters. but they are awesome!!!

I still have a ton of stuff left. Zoos: cornflower blues teletubbies pink panther orange delights sunflower true greens dusted peach with blue ring orange people eaters orange center zoos sps: green digitata red digitata electric green furry milli pink birds nest purple rim...

sharks are very messy eaters also. your LR will be fine but if you have crushed coral for substrate then your gonna run into problems. like stated before, their bellys are very very soft and prone to scratches and infection. he is gonna need a lot of open space. I had a bamboo shark in a 240...

if you acclimated it slowly it should be fine. what type of lighting do yo have in your tank and what type of lighting was on the tank it was originally from. this may be the cause of the problem. I would just keep an eye on him. sometimes it takes a couple days.

what type of corals are you trying to glue and how are you going about attaching them??? to be honest you should not be having that hard of a time. some of the softies are kinda tricky like shrooms and leathers. let us know your process and maybe we can help you out on this. I use loctite...

I could not agree more. I would go with the scarletts. peppermint shrimp are notorious for muching on softies, I had a peppermint almost demolish a acan lord colony, it literally ripped each polyp open to get at the food inside. and they are hit and miss when it comes to aptasia. if they...
