I was looking at my tank the other night and have notice over time that (obviously) the mushrooms and our leather have grown considerably. While they are all living happily right now, I wanted to find out what other people do when something gets too big for the tank (I am running a 24G right...

My wife noticed today that from observing from the front of the tank she could count at least 32 starfish. Mostly are very small, but two of them are Quarter size to thumb size. I suspect these will become a problem in the future. What are the possible solutions? Physical removal, and if so...

We bought a fire shrimp to compliment our tank (24 gallon) about 2 months ago. I saw him/her for about 2 days and have yet to see any sign of him. Coincidentally our skunk back is back out in the open quite a bit more now. Is there anything I can do to find out if he's still alive in there...

We have a Torch that lately (last week or two) has become more translucent that before. Before he was a nice white color, solid in nature. Here is a pic of what he looks like now (is he in trouble)?

Is it a good idea/possible to put say a snail in the sump area of a Aquapod (area where the pump is) to keep it clean? Or is it beneficial to have "stuff" back there? I can see little white growths all over the sides, you touch them and they disintegrate. Other than that just algae like stuff.

I am curious if we are losing our green brain. I have included a photo for reference. His/her edges have become more brown/dark and he/she doesn't "bubble" up as much. We have had some salinity issues lately, but after the recent water change we are at 1.024 and all other levels(chemical)...

We noticed the other day after a water change our salinity is about 1.036 which is quite high for a reef tank. I have seen some questions about salinity around, but mine is specific to reducing the salinity. Our LFS said we should pull about 4 gallons of salt water and replace with RO or...

We have a scarlet skunk cleaner shrimp who used to hang out in the front area of the tank, messing around and what not. Now he just sits behind the live rock all day. I don't recall ever seeing him out in front anymore. Is this normal behavior for a shrimp, could it be he's getting...

My wife and I noticed a red, really thin worm in our live sand. I tried to Google, but couldn't find anything definitive. He would come up towards the surface if direct light was off, but as soon as direct light was applied he retreated. Any ideas? -Chris

We noticed today that our electric scallop has seem to have exited his shell. Not sure why or where he went, but has any one had experience or seen this before? I think he left because he couldn't open the shell to feed maybe. It look to be a bit wedged under some live rock. Don't recall when...

I was trying to reposition a feather duster off the LR and seem to have pulled his "body" off. Now is still fastened to the rock and in full bloom, but he has not "bod" to escape into. Will he die like this or regen a body? As well, should I leave the body tube int he tank? -Chris

We have had a flowerpot in our new nano reef for about three weeks now. After a recent "shake up" trying to find and capture a hitch hiking crab, the flowerpot doesn't seem to be doing well. I have read some of the other articles here about other flowerpot issues, but mine doesn't seem...
