I moved the rock to my quarantine tank, and put some shrimp by his hole. So eventually I will get him out. after looking at the rock i noticed a couple new small coral that are growing, and some small white clear bugs.

I looked online, and that is what best resembles it. I looked online, and some say they are harmless, some say they are bad when they get bigger. Can they be bad for your tank?

As of right now I can't get a picture, but there is something new in our tank. it almost looks like a centipede. It is a long worm like creature, with tons of small legs on it. It hasn't fully come out of the rock, but has been out around 4 or 5 in, so it is pretty big. I am keeping an eye out...

i didn't do a whole shrimp today. I cut up small pieces and dangled it in front of all of the various inverts until they feed. and if they seemed still hungry i did more, but i didn't do but chunks and let them sit. Everything was eating the food, I wanted to make sure it was good enough to be...

i will be getting 2 clown fish in a couple days as my first ones. I would use flakes or pellets if i had to, but common sense would say that most things would do better with meats.

I have a brittle starfish, a couple peppermint shrimp, and some emerald/ruby crabs. I was wondering if regular shrimp like what people eat is ok to feed them, or if i need to get something else. I am also getting a long tentacle plate coral and a bubble coral in a couple days, and was wondering...

Yea, I know they are bad, but my dad really wants a couple. So I want to get some. But as soon as they start to attack others they will be gone

I was wondering when the best time to put damsels in a tank. I am just getting a 75 gallon set up and was wondering do I need to wait til most of the fish I want are already in. I know if you put them in first they can cause trouble. The ones I want are yellow tail damsels. I will have some...

Its fine, I totally understand. Fish need the space, but some of the sites say they need a lot. I know in the ocean the fish live pretty close to each other at times. Right now there is nothing in the tank except the live rock and some small coral. I just wanted to ask about what others think...

Yea, some sites say 75 gallon for minimum tank size for the blue or yellow tangs, and some say 120 gallon, so i wasn't really sure about that. I am very picky about the fish that I like, and those, and 1 or 2 butterflies are the only ones that I really like. At least ones that could possibly fit...

I know that the basic rule is 1in for every 10 gallons, but that just seems so little. One tang would be it following those rules. Eventually I want to get a couple clownfish, either a blue or yellow tang, and some other fish. They only big one would be the tang. I will get a small tang since...

The first pic is full of zoanthids I think. They are opened up pretty good now. There is also a frag of bubble coral, it looks awesome.

Ok, so i got the live rock today from the guy, was around 40-45 lbs, with about 12+ frags of what i am thinking is kenya tree coral. Some of them as tall as around 2in. Am I right in thinking that they are kenya tree? There is also some bubble stuff that looks like eggs, and 2 other pieces that...

Ok, thanks for all of the info. I am getting the live rock this weekend, so before I get it I will go into town and look at the LFS. If the have sand, and its cheap enough, maybe I will get some bags and switch it out for the coral. I didn't do my research before getting it i guess, everything i...

The starfish that i wanted was a brittle starfish, dunno if that is something you can have with crushed coral or not. I got that because i heard from some people that it is more natural having crushed coral on the bottom. I already put enough money into it so that will have to do for right now...

Yea, the site I read that on said 1 hermit per gallon, and 1 or 2 snails per gallon, that seemed like a lot. So for right now 10 hermits and 15-20 snails(variety)? I also want to get a starfish and some shrimp, do those need to wait until later on. my biggest worry is adding all of it together...

I have a new 75 gallon tank that I am now setting up. I have all of the equipment needed, and have a couple questions. I am buying my live rock from someone that has had a tank for years, so the rock is already cured and has algae on it. So do I still need to do any type of cycle, or will it all...

A couple of the corals that I like, and would like to get later on are leather toadstool, hammer coral,green star polyp, and Green torch coral. I also like the feather dusters, and flame scallops. I haven't checked to see if all of it is compatible together, but that is just what I like so far.

I haven't really narrowed it down yet, but I like the soft coral, the ones that move back and forth. So generally any of those. If the lights are not good enough, I will just get them last, after i get better lights.

I am in the process of setting up a 75 gallon tank. I was wondering if the lights I have are good enough for coral, or at least roughly how much light it would put off, low medium or high. I have a day and a night light, and the tank is around 22in tall. Here is a link to the same light that I...
