I found this guy while cleaning the reef tank at the petstore I work at. He was in our 200g display tank and I only found him because I was moving around live rock and he didnt hide fast enough. Its dark purple under the halides and appears almost black in normal light. It curled up in a...

My old Nikon N65 has finally been put to rest and I am now in the market for a DSLR.. I dont have a lot of experience with digital, but want to get the best one possible and learn on it. I have heard rave reviews about the canon rebel xti, but (and this is going to sound quite silly), I dont...

i have a 29 gallon reef tank with two percula clowns, a falco's hawk and a royal gramma, a coral banded shrimp and a cleanup crew.. i recently ordered a yellow rose goby (Stonogobiops xanthorhinica) from the store i work at for the final addition to the tank.. he came in much smaller than i...

not sure if it helps or not.. i am looking specifically for the blue hawaiian ones.. dont know if they have a definitive scientific/common name.. they are a brown color with blue/purple in the centers and around the edges.. glow in blacklight ... i have some regular green buttons and can find...

anyone have any suggestion on how to keep that red algae off of my green star polyps? it seems to be the only place that it pops up but it is choking them off.. ive tried blowing it off with my powerhead but i am afraid to mess with it too much and hurt the polyps..

i dose the tank twice a week with kent marine phytoplex... do i need to do it more often than that?

this may be an incredibly stupid question.. but .... i bought a giant hawaiian featherduster about 2 or 3 weeks ago.. it has been happy .. or so i thought, even started building a new tube into the live rock i placed it on.... then suddenly it dropped its feathery part... i can see the worm...

they are pretty small right now.. fully extended about the size of a dime.. i am moving about 7 of them from my 20 gallon to the 2 1/2... the only things in there with them are some tiny red reef hermits and a couple of feather dusters... ill try to get ahold of a digital camera and get some...

ive aquired quite a few of what i think are orange ball anemone (Pseudocorynactis caribbeorum) on some live rock and cant seem to find any information on how to keep them alive.. i know they can sting corals so they are set up right now in a 2 1/2 gallon with some live rock and feather dusters...
