I'm not sure what to tell you about saving the coral, but when we were going through that heat wave here in Seattle, we kept a few gallons of saltwater in the refrigerator, so when our tank started getting hot, we did a small water change in exchange for the cold water to keep the temperature in...

Sounds good! We just got the RBTA on sale and I wasn't sure. We also have a clam in the tank, and as silly as it may sound, I wasn't sure if feeding the RBTA frozen bits of clam would awaken a hunger for the real thing and wake up to find a dead clam in my tank :P Thanks for the info jrg and sid!

We accidentally bought a package of frozen clam bits from our LFS instead of brine shrimp. We were wondering if we could feed the clams to our RBTA, or if that is a bad idea? We already opened the package, so we can't return it. I was hoping we could use it instead of throwing it away (what a...

Me too! What a striking combination! I'd say that's a lucky find :) I love the look of green under the fluorescents ^_^

We had the same problem in our tank with a CBS and a goby. We had gotten our tank from CL and it already had a CBS, goby, maroon clown, and bengai cardinal. The night we brought the tank home and set it up, the CBS and goby must have gotten into some sort of epic battle. The next morning...

:shock: Your tank is beautiful! The color of the wood complements the tank very well, too. What a wonderful wife to take care of your tank while you are away :) I was the "like to look at it" wife as well, until I started spending all day with our tank while my husband was at work, and then I...

Not sure if this is the correct forum for this topic, but since this deals with clams directly, I figure here is my best bet! The hubby and I are interested in getting a maxima clam for our tank. We have a 35 gallon hex tank (which we will be upgrading to a 55 gallon rectangular tank within...

Welcome to WA! :D Wow, two 300 gallon tanks?!? How long have you had each of them up and running?

Excellent, we will add berghia nudibranch to the need list! Thanks you two! :)

Did your nudis harm any other growth in your tank, like zoanthids, zenia, etc? We are starting to see small aiptasia growths on our zoa rock and I want to get rid of it via SW creature as opposed to lemon juice or kaulkwasser. Like most people, we just don't have the time for that kind of...

Just read the Bobbit worm thread and watched the youtube video - gross! If what you caught is a baby bobbit, thank goodness you got it out in time! Good luck with the identification - I think the toilet is the best way to go with this guy. Better safe than sorry is my favorite motto with salt...

The first pic you posted looks like how my zoas do when they are retracted, but I'd say Duncan colony is the closest accurate identification. How long has the liverock been in the tank?

My first thought was bristle worm. Of all the images I've seen of them, that's what yours looks like to me.

We really don't care what gender our fish are. We name them according to their personality. I'm pretty sure the fish doesn't care either :)

O_o Oh wow! Well Roger (my maroon) seems perfectly content in his environment sans anemone and fellow maroon. I just wanted to make sure he'll be alright solo. Thanks for the help, and good luck with those blood-thirsty fishies! :)

Will the maroon clown be alright if I don't try to pair him? Or will he die of depression down the road?

Hello everyone! Had a question for anyone who can help this N00b out... We have a maroon clownfish and a bengai cardinal currently in our tank. I have read in some places that maroon clowns should be paired, yet I've also read if one has been by itself and you attempt to introduce another...

Thank you, Larry :) I find constructive criticism and positive advice to someone asking for help (especially one who is new to the hobby) is always better than passive-aggressive, condescending comments. I give advice as I would like to receive it. Thanks for the encouragement :)

Ahhhhh that makes complete sense! I've heard of several other types of fish who are the same way - need lots of food attention the smaller the environment. Thanks for the input!

Question, Sid...in your galleries of your tanks, the one regarding the contents of your 46 gallon reef tank has a picture of a mandarin goby. Are there different types of mandarins that can survive in different sizes of tanks? I ask because we were looking to purchase a mandarin in the future...
