Good point, and an interesting way to describe it... I have been considering these issues. This observation seems to back up your claim: I have noticed that my clown does only feed his anenome, he also feeds my torch coral and star pollyps... anyone else ever see this?

you rich bastard.

That's normal for my tank, it needs to be cleaned every few days.

Awesome design, more tanks like this should be widely avalible.

Hey everyone. So my sand (mix of crushed shells and sand) is full of brown algae, green cyno bacteria and detritus. Who recomends adding a sand sifting star? My aquarium store recomended it. Will it compete with my mandrin for food by eating a significnat amount of the little guys he grazes...

Do nassarius snails have a strong foot, strong enough to knock over my corals? I have corals that are not clued down, they used to get knocked over all the time by turbo snails, so I took those big losers out. I currently have some of those small cone shaped snails eating algae. Detritus is...

This mushroom of mine has been multiplying over the past 2 or 3 months. It is making another little mushroom that is hidden by itself in this picture, the third one of the new colony. Do mushrooms "walk" when they multiply sometimes? This one seems to have moved about an inch every time it...

Good question. Yeah, that wasn't the problem. I put the starfish in, it was fine for a couple days, and then I went on a short vacation. When I got back it was in pieces and hermit crabs were eating it. There was almost no other food in the tank, they had been hungry for a while, but I never...

I have had hungry hermit crabs eat a bran new star fish.

Thanks for the info.

thanks, that post was informative. So check this out: my sand is a mess, tons of algae and organics. I am thinking either a conch or a cucumber would help. But my corals are not glued down, they are carfeully placed in their locations, and turbo sials used to knock them down, so I took them...

Don't corals just release waste sometimes, that may be brown and coming from their mouths? I am asking, I could be wrong. My corals all seem to close up at night sometimes and do that. Especially after I feed them shrimp, the next day or two the do it. It seems like they have to release...

I had one of these recommended to me by a guy who works at my aquarium store. He said it would be good for my tank because it will eat detritus, and I have a bunch of it building up. I am worried about the fact they can release a toxic substance into the water if stressed or injured. I read...

Very cool, the way it's shallow and long. No idea who makes it.

just in case that wasn't clear enough, the plastic soda bottles have a small opening that only small fish can swim into, once they swim in, the freek out and swim in every direction, but won't be able to find the small opening before you yack the bottle up out of the water. It really works well...
