I recognize this fish. My LFS has them. I can't remember their name at the moment, but I'll check there tomorrow (I have to go there anyway) and try to find out its name.

I have them, and they're in my tank. One is visible -- the larger of the three. The other two have vamoosed deep inside rock, where I'm sure they'll stay for most of the time. I'll watch for opportunities to take pics. They are so cute, and all three of them have pom poms.

I have a rock with 4 ricordea shrooms on it, and three teeny feather dusters. There is also a mystery creature inside this rock. Whatever it is, it extends numerous 2" long pink translucent arms/tentacles/snakes... something like that... out of the rock through a small hole. The tentacles are...

I bought a lovely coral from my LFS out of their Nano display cube, and they told me it was Clove Polyp. But when I got it home and installed in my tank, I looked at it and didn't think it was Clove Polyp at all. So I did some looking and found it: Organ Pipe Coral. It looks exactly like...

I'm not sure that the water flow/circulation in my 15 g. tank is what it should be. I have an AquaClear 50 (formerly the 200) hanging on the back. This filter is rated for a 20-50 gallon tank. I have a 15 g. tank. The filter is hanging on the back, in the center of the tank, so the strongest...

Sadielynn, I will post pics as soon as I get them settled in. Do you guys think they (the Pom Pom Crabs) would habitate peacefully and easily with sexy shrimp, which don't seem to grow more than 1 inch in length -- pertty much the same size that the Pom Poms will grow to? I think it would be...

I'm afraid I don't know the answer to your question, but they are really neat little shrimp. Here is what petsolutions.com says about them: http://www.petsolutions.com/Sexy+Shrimp ... 16-C-.aspx I know others here to have Sexy Shrimp, so I'm sure someone will answer your question soon.

Hi, milomlo! Welcome fo the forum. You've certainly come to the right place to find out about marine reef tanks. I'm a newbie myself... just a couple of months ago... and I have a 15 gallon reef tank up and running with a few soft corals, some hermit crabs, snails, and 3 fish. It's very...

Three teeny tiny Pom Pom Crabs. My LFS was able to get some in. They are so cute and so little. I saw them tonight. And they have anenomes in their claws!! I am setting them up in their own 10g. nanoreef that I have cycled and held for them, with LS, a few LR, and soft corals. I'll add a couple...

I got my first marine reef tank injury tonight... at the LFS. I was digging around in a tank of LR small pieces and got nailed big time by a bristleworm. I ended up with half a dozen bristles stuck in my finger and beneath my fingernail -- can you say OUCH!!! Hurt like the dickens. I had to use...

Cool! It's most likely a micro star -- as Jennie said. They are prized possessons on this board, right Erik?? :) They are great scavengers, totally reef safe, and they don't get any bigger. It's great that you spotted him. I have been able to collect quite a few of these cuties from my LFS --...

Sadie, it could be a dwarf seahorsse. They max out at around 1.5 inches. They inhabit the shallow grasslands around Florida and the Gulf -- they could easily be picked up by this collector, because his stuff is mostly wild caught. If it's a dwarf, they eat only newly hatched, decapsulated baby...

It is a stunning shrimp -- well worth it if he works out. He's gorgeous! From what I read, it sounds like he uses his hosts primarily for locomotion and for shelter/protection. I just hope he doesn't live on parasites. ??

I've been doing a ton of research on seahorses and have just about made up my mind to get some dwarf seahoreses -- about five pairs are recommended for a 5-gallon tank. They are very social and easier to keep in large numbers because of needed feeding density. Alisa Abbot has written a pretty...

They're gone. Some lucky person got em.

This is very interesting. I've not checked my phosphate levels. I'll have to pick up a kit for that today and see what it is. Will also check into Phosban. I'm not exactly sure what the relationship is between phosphates and hair algae. Time for some research... Thanks for the tip! EDIT...

We'll miss you, Erik! Come back as soon as you can. Travel safely!!

Those photos are amazing!! I hope you have some prints made for the baby's parents and grandparents and anyone else who loves him. Those are definitely keepsake quality photos that should be shared and appreciated. Gorgeous!!

Thanks, Skip! I was rather proud of how they turned out. They turned out WAY better than I anticipated. I have a cheapie Sony digital camera. I'd like to get something better for tank photography. Does anyone have any suggestions? Something easy to use; I am not a photographer.

Okay, I'll ask. What's a "BTA?" I know it's some kind of anenome.... Bubble Tipped Anenome! Right? I think I answered my own question. I wish anenomes were easier to keep. They are so cool to watch, esp. with Clowns. I just wish they weren't such nuisances.
