I've had my SW tank set up for about a year. A few weeks ago I started noticing white worm-like organisms (?) on my live rock. They don't appear to move. They vary from about 1/8 to one inch in length. Also, on the tank glass, small white spiral-shaped creatures about 1/16" inch and...

Could somebody please recommend a good web site for identifying organisms found in a reef tank? I've found two very different organisms which are beyond my vocabulary to describe. I need some pictures to look at... Thanks, Joseph

I have small BTA anemone in my tank and now it passed couple of days after I put it there. I have placed it on the top of my rockwork and it attached itself almost instantly. The same evening, when lights went off, it started slowly crawling down. In the next day it stopped for the whole light...

How do I get an anemonie off of a rock. I have the rock sold to a friend but my ritteri anemone climbed onto it and won't get off. Is there a simple and safe way to pry it off?

Here's an interesting one... I have a 75g reef been up for about 5 monts now. 60lbs LR & 4" DSB. I use RO/DI water and I have had a handful of different algae outbreaks. Now I have a DARK GREEN film that is growing on the sand and you can actually see "pearling" (bubbles forming on it) on the...

Okay... New Question: I was looking in my tank today (as I do everyday), and I've noticed some sort of organism I haven't seen before. I think I haven't noticed it because it's on a piece of the live rock I just rearranged. It looks like a tunical (I think it;s what they are called)... It's...

Well my first batch of live rock didn't go down to well, what life was on the rock has almost completely gone (3 weeks), in several places the dead stuff is being covered quite quickly with white fungus, all this rock is in a holding tank, if I was to leave the rock there how long would it take...

I have a new 220gallon tank. has been up for a week with 175 pounds of live rock. Should I start putting in fish now? If so how many and what kind? What else? Thanks!

I got tons of green hair algae growing in my tank. I picked up a algae eating Blenny and he does eat a lot of it but not enough to maintain the state of the tank. I also have a lot of brown algae which I understand is from using tap water. I have started doing all my top ups with purified water so...

My sea bay turned BROWN.... I have been feeding it silversides... Any sugesstions on how to get it back to its original color ??? Thnks :)

I did a google on this subject.... Tank mates stealing food from Anemones... I read it may be neccessary to "guard" the anemone at first until it swallows it's food. My question is, how long do I need to guard it on the individual feedings (10 minutes?) and how long should it be neccessary to...

Would seahorses be compatible with a reef tank?

I am new to this coral tank stuff and with my Birthday around the corner the wife was asking me what I want. I told her that i'd like some book(s) that I can use as a reference for my new hobby, so I would like some input into some books to look into that introduce the setting up, maintaining...

The male of a mated pair of Ocellaris clowns died (powerhead fatality) and I want to get another clown to put in with the female still in the tank. What do you guys think the chances fo them gettign along are? If it is a problem, what are the chances a local fish store would take the female...

This is the new Favites brain coral I got last week. Managed to get a good shot of my yellow watchman goby hovering near it. Of course, now that I was so happy about getting that shot, the goby is there all the time.... http://members.bellatlantic.net/~vze3scxc/goby and brain.jpg

Well I can tell by the number of responses I received to my Aiptasia question that my ability to describe something leaves a little to be desired. :) So that led me to try my hand at a web site. It's crude and one day old but I've never done anything like this before so don't make fun. Take a...

I got a couple new pieces of LR yesterday and today I noticed a very large crab in the tank. It's about 1.5 inches in diameter and looks like a sort of green\grey color. Definitely not an emerald, he looks very stocky (fat claws and shell) and has black pinchers. I have only really got a good 2 or...
