I just purchased 25 turbo snails for clean-up in my reef. I feed my tank and fish on a regular basis. Many of the turbos were immediately attacked by the various hermits in my tank and now after a week I think all but 2-3 turbos have fallen as appetizers for the damn crabs. Is this typical and...

:?: anenome in reef tank, what do you old salts think. I am thinking of a purple tip and a couple of clowns as my next addition. Advice appreciated

The local lfs has a small (approx 1 in) dog face puffer, so they say. It is predominately white with a black saddle and a yellow tail. I'm not sure what it really is. I have seen them in other stores(same shaped fish) but never one with a yellow tail. What might this be and will it be reef...

My chiller crashed last Monday, temp went to 85, and I just about s%$#. I shut off the MH (3 250w)to reduce heat until I get my chiller fixed, and only have been running my 4 110 w flours. My tank is made up of mostly LPS. All residents since I shut off the MH's are looking better than ever...

The one I'm looking at is a juvanile (approx 2.5 - 3 inches) It seems quite healthy and active, and it's eating flake food. Main reason of concern was that its colors were not real vibrant, lips slightly orange and yellow on head not real deep. It will be going in a 160 gal reef. thanks for...

I am looking to add a Naso Tang to my existing reef tank and would appreciate info concerning differences in the Naso. I have seen several different Tangs at the LFS and they vary in color markings. Some have very distinct markings and others do not. Most of the tangs that seem to be lacking in...

thanks to all that replied, well most anyway. as my post on Reef central states "shared knowledge is what I was seeking" and to all that provided HELPFUL advice, THANKS I am going to pass on the Powder Blue and try a small yellow and a small blue hippo. Again thanks NAESCO, You would gain...

I would hope administrators of this site would consider limiting the post of those that don't understand "HELPFUL", the likes of dbman & sawcjack00. maybe their vocabulary has not developed to the level. Maybe we can all pray for them.

O.K., Everyone please beat-up on me asap. I'm going to try to keep a Blue Tang, Powder Blue, and Yellow in my 150 gal reef tank. Last time I tried it the PB ended up with ICH so bad he finally dropped, shortly after the Blue went down. This time I'm trying to introduce them all at the same time...

Is it o.k. for a frogspawn and toadstool to be close to each other?? My frogspawn is growing and getting close to a toadstool I have in the tank. Both seem to be happy with their location, but I am concerned one might sting the other, SHOULD I BE CONCERNED?????:

GREAT INFO, THANKS

I purchased a piece of LR from local store last weekend and it was covered with Ricordia, I placed it in a medium flow area of my tank approx half way of the depth of my 150 gal tank. Lighting is 4 110 vho's and 3-250w 6500 mh. The ricordia located on the top of the rock is turning very pale but...
