Len, Thanks for your help.

Here's a similar looking blastomussa that I found online...

I recently bought rock w/ zoanthids, when I purchased the rock the salesperson referred to these little corals as "firecracker corals". I can't seem to find any information anywhere on a "firecracker coral", any idea what it really is? The only things that I have found that look close are...

Pic 2 approximately 2 months after losing its crown (1 week ago): [/img]

Just agreeing with seamaiden... Here are some before and after pictures of the re-growth that my feather went through over the past two months. During the process, the worm would occassionally poke it's head out of the tube to see what was going on. Pic 1 - approximately 10-15 days after losing...

I just wanted to do a quick sanity check before I started sawing and re-arranging. I got my new aquastarlight 1x150W DE MH pendant and it is actually 14" too long (WOW - my fault for misreading the description before I bought it from the seller). I opened the unit up and it looks like I should...

cmlp, You're right, silversides are little fish (not beef).

eddi, Have you tried Marine Scene in Herndon? They usually have Selcon in stock whenever I go there. Check www.marinescene.com for phone numbers, directions and hours if you've never gone there before.

I too have ordered from saltwaterfish.com with fairly good success. There was one DOA - a Chalk Bass out of approximately 10 items. Not too bad in my book.

Okay... I just happen to be back in San Diego (from DC Area) for a couple of days and of course I checked out the LFS. All I have to say is Aquatic Warehouse is awesome 8O I've shopped Marine Scene in Herndon, VA and Congressional Aquarium in Rockville, MD and Aquatic Warehouse makes these...

Vitz, Thanks for the input. Does anyone else have any thoughts/experience?

I am in search of experience (or opinions) about keeping a Royal Gramma in the same tank as 1-4 Chalk Bass. For reference, the tank is 100g (60"Lx18"Wx20"H) FOWLR with 90-100lbs LR, 2-4" sloping DSB, TurboFlotor skimmer, and 220w PC lighting. The tank has been up for approximately 8 mos...

I added my BTA before the clarkii clowns. However, within 30 minutes of adding the clowns the little guy dove in. By the end of the day (5-6 hours later) the larger clown had taken over, now, two weeks later, they are sharing like a good husband and wife (although the wife literally hogs the bed...

I have also had great experience with Tenecor tanks. I am on my second tank from them (1st was a 55, current is a 100) -- no problems at all with either one!!

Well, I am finally ready to begin stocking my newly cycled 100 Gal FOWLR tank. For background, my setup includes 90 lbs of LR, 100 lbs of Southdown, 15 lbs Aragonite LS and 10 lbs of LS from the LFS (Marine Scene in Herndon, VA). I am using a simple 30 gal Rubbermaid sump (with approx 20 gal of...
