    Parasitic crab?

    I'm trying to upload pictures from my mobile, and I'm not sure if it is working. I noticed today that my fighting conch was upside down, so I pulled him out to do a sniff test and discovered these two little crabs inside his shell. They are small, translucent, and have a body shape like a...

    Sick candy canes

    I have some candy canes I got from my lfs a few weeks ago. They haven't looked great since I got them home and they're beginning to look worse. The skeleton is beginning to show. I know I have high phosphates, but other than that I'm kind of out of ideas. I have some neon greens in the same...

    galaxea question

    Does galaxea usually look deflated at night? Mine looks ok during the day, but at nit tends to recede and the little tentacles look flat like someone let the air out of them. Is this normal or is it sick? Any ideas?

    Clown with a bum fin

    My male clown looked seriously ragged before he paired with the female from her beating him up. Now he has healed up everywhere except one fin, which had a chunk out of it. It has gotten this sort of white fleshy ball where the chunk was missing. He isn't using this fin now. Up until today he...

    Galaxea?

    I can't remember what the guy at the LFS told me this was, but I fell in love with how brightly colored it was and for $20, I couldn't help myself.

    chaeto dying?

    I have the media and fuge baskets from inTank in the back of my biocube. I have filter media in the media basket, but I thought my bioload would be enough to grow the chaeto. Nitrate and phosphates at 0 despite feeding daily, and the chaeto is still dying. I have 2 clowns, 2 chromis, and a six...

    when to worry about clownfish?

    I have two clowns which have been busy establishing a pecking order for a couple weeks. One of them has grown larger and picks on the other one a bit, so I figure it is the female. The male looks a little banged up from the whole thing, but seems otherwise to be healthy and eats fine. I noticed...

    What to do next?

    Making plans for my BC29. I am planning on picking up a powerhead or two. Any advice on placement? I'm moving over the summer and I'll be getting rid of the crushed coral substrate. There is also 30lbs of sand already in the tank, is that plenty or should I add more sand after I ditch the...

    Something ate my frogspawn

    Is it possible for a brittle star to eat a frogspawn? I bought a small frag today and have been watching it on and off all night. It looked healthy. Went back to check on it before bed and it had just vanished. No sign of it or the bit of rock that it was on. I am suspicious that the brittle...

    what to do about substrate

    I admit that I didn't do enough research prior buying my substrate. I ended up putting 20lbs of that carib-sea off the shelf live sand and 15 lbs of crushed coral in. I now have about 40 lbs of live rock on top of it, which crowds my aquarium floor significantly. So here's the problem I've...
