    Help with ID on this Cowrie

    He has gone into hiding when I got home, and will likely stay that way for a while. If anyone is interested, Blue Sierra in Issaquah still had like 3 of them left, and only 9.99. I dont usually give in to impulse purchases ( whats with people wanting to know what your cats dream about?) but...

    Comment by 'gloo' in media 'SW Planted Tank'

    Great looking tank. BTW, have you ever had any experience with the string of pearls algae, like the ones from marineflora.com? I got on the waiting list to order them, but have not found much info on them otherwise.

    Help with ID on this Cowrie

    I'll try and take grab a pic, but looking at that site, the caputserpentis seems to be the closest match with the shell patterns. I just got him yesterday afternoon, and only seen him with the mantle fully covering his shell at night or in the morning. He's cruising around right now, but...

    Ah thanks, didn't know some of them were so dark. Also, has anyone had any issues with them eating anything besides algae?

    I want to see your BB tank.

    My 15 gallon, I didn't place anything on the bottom, tho I should have. My first attempt at a reef tank so still learning a lot as I go. The tank is only 4 months old, and I didn't cook the cured rocks from the LFS I added a month ago so there is still some detritus that has to be dealt with...

    Yellow Coral Goby

    How is your green goby doing? I have recently run into a similar problem with a yellow clown goby. I will probably get slapped for the following mistakes; 1. Totally spaced and didn't check the fish for sunken stomach when I chose him over other y.c. gobies. 2. This is the 2nd yellow crown...

    Tiny Sea spiders (pantopoda?) on Monti

    That's good to hear. That reinforces what the lfs found out regarding the eggs not being deposited on substrate/coral/etc. I have not seen any spiders on the monti, and the frag is doing well so far ( I didn't realize some monti's polyps extend during the day, the encrusting monti polyps only...

    Tiny Sea spiders (pantopoda?) on Monti

    Yeah, I did. I dont have any lights for the quarantine tank so I placed the frag back in to check on it. It's not the best idea to throw it back in so soon, but I'm fairly certain the total of 45 minutes the frag spent in iodine did the job.

    Tiny Sea spiders (pantopoda?) on Monti

    Yeah, read that one, but I didn't like the part where it said, "Frankly, if they are found on corals in any tank, the best option would likely be to remove the coral from the tank, and simply dispose of it." The iodine killed off the spiders, but I wont know for sure till after the lights go...

    Tiny Sea spiders (pantopoda?) on Monti

    Oh, no worries. Seeing as there was very little info I can find on the tiny pycnogonids, I figured responses would be slow at best. That's awesome that he gets to spend some time with his son at work.

    Tiny Sea spiders (pantopoda?) on Monti

    I upped the concentration of Iodine ( 15 drops of Lugol's Iodine in 1 gallon ) and left the frag in the dip for 30 minutes. This time around, the spiders were all dead and came off the frag easily when swished about. The LFS went and tried both Iodine and Flatworm exit, and they found that...

    Tiny Sea spiders (pantopoda?) on Monti

    Well, dipped them in iodine (8 drops of lugols iodine in 1 gal) for 15 minutes. A few of the spiders dropped off the frag, but many still had the strength to hang on to the frag even when placing the frag in front of a powerhead. Hate to spend 23 bucks on tmpcc when the frag was only 9.99.

    Tiny Sea spiders (pantopoda?) on Monti

    Can you kill those pesky small sea spiders with Lugol's Iodine dip? I found some on a monti digi frag I purchased from a lfs yesterday. I was checking to see polyp extension after the lights went out and saw a dozen or more of them on the frag and removed it to quarantine immediately. I did...

    Electric Flame Scallops

    Ah, thanks for the link. Will not be purchasing 20 dollar clams that require phyto and zoo plankton feedings. Too much time/money investment on something that will just be fancy hermit feast later on.

    Electric Flame Scallops

    Has anyone had luck with these guys? I would love to get one but I have heard many complaining that these are tough to keep alive, and many have had them live for max of 1/2 year. I was gonna try feeding it a mixture of marine snow/oyster eggs, if I were to purchase one. LiveAquaria has em...
