    Pinched Mantle

    the tank has been up for about 5 months..but it was a transfer (upgrade) from a 75g that was a year old...so it is still relatively new. I did removed the bicolor blenny into another tank and the clam is looking great now! Open and healthy looking. I caught him nipping at the clam..he made one...

    Pinched Mantle

    thanks! I overlooked the obvious....the stupid bicolor that has mad a den right next to the clam! Now I am going to go fishing!

I have a total of 6 clams...3 crocea, 2 Dersea and 1 maxima clam. 1 of my crocea clam is showing signs of a pinched mantle :( which just started today.

    ID Help, GOT PICTURE

    Try not to laugh to hard at me..... what about styela clava (Club Tunicas) They are becoming problematic in your area, are mobile in larval stage, and reproduce rapidly. Perhaps the chocolate bunnies are babies and you are just seeing a young version of it. Did you remove anything from the...

    Purple Frilly Rhino Scorpion Fish

    this is a case where I have something that I misidentified, and the store misidentified it...I thought I was getting a rhino! I would have never purchased it if I had known it was one that was best kept in the ocean....everything I have found said that this fish is not collected in the hobby...

    Purple Frilly Rhino Scorpion Fish

    thank you for your reply! He cracks me up right now when he eats...he is much more interesting then anglers when it comes to meal time! He does this little dance back and forth, and then wiggles and gulps the food in! I am having a hard time knowing "how much is enough food for him" as I know...

    Mantis Shrimp

    dont kill it! Somebody will want it if you catch it! But you can get it to come out of its hole by having a feeding stick with some krill or silversides and dangling it outside of its den. It will usually come out after that....but when it does catch it and place it in your sump or something...
