Mine behaves the same as Larry's. It eats only the film algae and I have yet to see it eat prepared food including spirulina, seaweed selects, all the Formula foods. Next try is nori. If that fails, I'm at a loss. I don't believe that they eat calupera, though.

Tried searching this site for info on purple sea plume and didn't get any hits. Can anyone tell me whether these corals are photosynthetic or filter feeders. Any insight is appreciated. Thanks!

Hey Ryan: Where the heck are they charging that much for salt? I think mail order is in your future and mine :-)

Thumbs up on Paragon Aquatics. Great sps and lps selection at fair prices. Also consider Aquarium Conservation in Cromwell, CT. Lots of lps and fish but little or no sps.

Real reefers suck...hee hee....takes less time than hooking stuff up & friggin with other stuff. Takes less than a second and, depending on your "method", you may never have to taste sea water again...I've left myself wide open on that one.

Is that in upstate NY? I've never heard of the town before. Thanks!

Hey Jerry...have you tried posting this string in the Saltwater About Aquarium Site? I think it's http://saltaquarium.about.com. I'm not sure if there are any New Englanders on the site but it's worth a shot.

Hi all...can someone briefly explain about what it means when caulerpa "goes sexual" and why it's bad when it does? Either that or point me in a direction where I can read existing info about this subject. Thanks in advance for any insight!

I agree with JimM on the Stress Coat...I've never personally seen any fish nibble on Aloe so I don't know what benefit that serves.

Davelin: Great post. I'm glad to see that most replies support your position as do I. Additionally, I'm not surprised that such a high level of ignorance, naivite and hatred exists in this country-a veritable melting pot of cultures, lifestyles and religions...point in case, desktopsilver. I...

Great article. Speaks for the majority of us as Americans.

While I'd like to agree with canadawest, there's just too much info. that points to terrorism. 1. Most of the crew on those planes were dead before they had a chance to notify anyone. 2. Oklahoma City was a terrorist act. If McVeigh was not a terrorist, who is? What defines a terrorist? 3...

Does anyone else feel that the reason these countries hate the U.S. so much is because we have a life style and culture that they never will? How many people living in 3rd world countries would trade their right arm to live here? Religion and politics be damned....it's about power, money and...

I almost laughed when I read Hamas' statement that they were not responsible for the terrorist act and "blame U.S. Policy". So.......it's our fault? I don't think anyone will ever claim responsibility for this act...it's not in their best interest considering that the leaders of all countries...
