What temperature do you normally keep your tank at? Corals that are normally kept under somewhat cooler temperatures (i.e. 77-78 degrees) are actually likely to bleach in water as warm as 82-84 degrees. So, say if there were a spike in temperature during the day while you were gone, which can happen...

Yes, the pyramid butterflies are one of the most reef safe, yet hardy butterflies. They are similar in care and attittude to the schooling bannerfish or Heniochus butterflies. The only thing I would do for one of them is to be sure you feed it at least twice a day, since they have heavy caloric need...

That is the same tank I have. I originally got mine from Steve Allen a little before he had his store. Its been continually set up with sand, rock, water, etc., and is going strong for nearly ten years.

That is not unheard of with that particular anemone, though. The "ritteri" anemones can and often do these rapid dying events. This is quite uncommon for rose anemones though. What was the temperature doing? Also, when anything dies, especially anemones, the dissolved O2 levels drop dramat...

Sure. Usually I grab a bunch at once and squeeze at a certain point. You are right to think that it would be impractical to do this one "stem" at a time. BTW, This is in my 20 gallon seahorse tank in which he can barely move through from all the Caulerpa, so it does work en masse.

If they are not taken care of (i.e. exhaustion of appropriate nutrients, inorganic carbon, etc.), all Caulerpa species will sporulate and shed through the cell wall. The trick with any species is to make sure that it doesn't get starved of any particular important nutrient (which may be difficult in...

I wouldn't worry too much about the salt mix you use. I have used many, many types and all give relatively the same results. I have had corals, anemones, and fish spawn and thrive while housed in my tank, which at different times over the years contained Instant Ocean, Kent, Oceanic, etc. No matter ...

Jeremy, its Andrew from B&B. Is the angel you are referring to that Genicanthus angel I sold to you? I was afraid there would have been some aggression from your fish. Like everyone else said, please keep a close eye on the fish and make sure that the infection does not take a turn for the worst...

Sorry, but I dont set the prices, I just work there There is nothing I can do to lower it.

We get some accidentally in some of our shipments at B&B. Come in when you get the chance, may have some now. It usually comes in as very small pieces, almost always has a rhizome though. I can probably sell it to you at 2.99 apiece.

You don't just get one like that, you grow it. This "little" girl started off just bigger than a softball, almost dead. With nearly a decade of an intense feeding regimen of silversides, she is as big as she is now. I feed her three to five whole silversides at least three times a week to ...

Here are some full tank pics. They actually show my female sebae anemone in her full glory-stinging my corals :? The tank is going to look a bit different lighting wise because I replaced the bulbs with the type that I originally used (actinic white, super actinic R) instead of actinics and aquasuns...

All of what was mentioned before may eat this algae. It is particularly noxious. Only certain individuals of these species may actually eat it, depending on collection location, previous diet, food regimen in the aquarium, etc. May want to consider mechanical removal of these algae as the only relia...

hows it going, Rin. Forgot to tell you i joined the forum. guess its been about a week now

The coral to the left of the Montipora is my old red open brain. the "termite mound" is just a rock with algae around it-too lazy to clean between it and the rock
