Hi we have a crab that looks alot like this one in this picture I found, well anyway's any ideas on what type of crab it is? Came on something we purchased from lfs, or it hatched out of the LR, we been keeping an eye on him, but it does look alot like this one.

I'm aware that some folks are using some type of epoxy puddy to mount frags in there reefs. one is this safe? and my other question is what should i look for in the make up of it. the suff i have at work is called Water Weld states it contains epoxy and amine starts to harden in two minutes...

Keep em' coming, that's gonna be nice!!!

I'm really fond of yellow clown golbies they don't get too large and are very bright in color

The water is straight from my well.I haven't had the extra money to get a RO system yet and the RO water from the local stores has not been testing very good so been using water from home all the corals have really took off.

Well i got a test kit today. and i was surprised i didn't think that my ca was where it is .checked it twice but does anyone else have water like this ???!!!! Welll everything I put in the reef explodes. I just can't beleave that my water prams could be that good?

Well...........I think we now have found the mean little #?&%^*! responsible for the whole problem we have been having! Its a hitchhiker crab seen him last night. Not sure the type he is and haven't seen him long enough to snap a pic although here is what he looks like.The main part of his shell...

Thank you for the replies the thread was very helpful Jandree it seems there is a lot of misinformation out there on a lot of livestock.

Has anyone ever kept one in a reefer.The discription said that they are reef safe with caution. It said they may sting corals :evil: . The only reason I want to know is one of the LFS has them for 2.99 pretty cheap!

Ok, its been a week or two we have been doing a 15% water change and have had no more losses also We removed the air restrictor on the skimmer side of the skilter so that more micro bubbles can be formed and we are now collecting much more waste,although we still think it isn't what it should...

I have the same light fixture and beleve it or not my softies and leathers are doing great and growing quickly. For the money and being on a budget its been a good fixture. Now that being said my LFS has had some problems w/ some broken fixtures coming in. The dist. gives them credit for such...

We were kinda worried about the skillter when we bought it, but in hindsight that was a mistake, barely collects anything!! (Looking for something more suitable now?????) Have noticed a little aggression between the firefish, well one of the purple firefish is a little territorial. As far as...

Yeah we are at a lost also, we just went and checked on thing's, and now our Firefish is missing part of his dorsil fin???And it was there a couple of hours ago, (not fin rot) it is cut off halfway. :?: We removed an Emerald crab, got one more in there, put him in our quarntine tank until we...

Been doing 1-2, 4 gallon water changes weekly, not forsure on what kinda polyps they are, they came on an aquacultured rock with our green mushrooms, they looked fine but then Saturday morning we noticed like 4-5 missing?? As far as the Iodine, how can I test it and what method should use to...

It retracts into the LR, It is not hairy, I do know we have a bristle worm, or 2, still not sure if they are good or bad either???, but the what we are seeing are smooth, and to apear to have a mouth at the end that feed off the LR surrounding them, can see them swallow the algae. So made me...
