Permits and such As the others have said, there is nothing to bar the inverts from the hobbyist. Do watch for areas that are classified as marine parks though. Where I live, the best grazing is in a park. Bummer. I have yet to find what the laws are for things like hermit crabs, shore crabs...- pan-d-man

Great to see you have it started! If you are like me, you will find that anemones provide as much if not more viewing entertainment as fish.- pan-d-man

Book to Read I searched around the web site for both of these aquariums and could not locate this book. If you have any other leads on how to get one, it would be greatly appreciated.- pan-d-man

I have yet to have a starfish attack an anemone. I have stuck with fairly small starfish though. I have several blood stars and a few mottled stars. I would stay away from the more common and much larger ochre star. Like epiphanus said, they eat lots. You should be safe with stars that are...- pan-d-man

Cold Water Update I know what granite you are talking about. Some day I am going to pack some out. It is stunning. The tank is doing well. Caught barnacles reproducing. I also found a clump of unhatched eggs. They look like herring or candlefish. We shall see it looks like soon. I think I am...- pan-d-man

Setup One suggestion is to put some type of protection down in the bottom prior to placing the rocks. The rocks we get around here are much heavier than coral and will do a good job of scratching the bottom when trying to position or re-position them. I also found that the cold water...- pan-d-man

Zostera Thanks Epiphanus, Yes, the eel grass is growing. Many of the existing fronds that had tattered ends are not, but as they decompose, they provide food for many of the inhabitants.
