    Starfish ID

    Can anyone ID this? I thought it was a small sand sifter but someone said it was an asterina and will eat my SPS. I'm starting to worry now because I won't be home for hours Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Baby Mushroom from Nowhere?

    So I noticed something really weird this morning. About 2 months ago I bought a blue mushroom which detached and died in under 2 weeks. I left the rock it came on in there and during the night one of my crabs or urchins flipped it and guess what I found? An orange mushroom maybe 2mm wide! How is...

    Copepod Farm

    So I finally am moving my box turtle outside and with her 20 long tank I don't know what to do. I'm either going to do a dart frog tank, a vampire crab tank, fiddler crab tank, or macroalgae and pod farm. If anybody has a pod farm would you mind showing me pictures? I'll probably use a bunch of...

    WTB Hammer/Torch - Monmouth County

    Trying to see if anybody here has a black torch with green/gold tips or a blue hammer before I set off scouting the internet for a while. Please let me know if so and what price you are asking for a small frag that will fit on a plug. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Stomatella Spawning

    Caught a stomatella snail spawning for the first time today. I know they've done it in the past but this is my first time witnessing it. Honestly kind of interesting to watch. He gets in a strange raised position and then every few seconds you see little cloudy puffs come out. After a few dozen...

    The ultimate algae eater

    I wanted to share my absolute favorite creature for eating algae in the reef tank. And the award goes to... The lawnmower! If anyones actually curious these guys are called stomatella snails. The first picture is of a line that I watched one clean in about 10 minutes. They're a little strange...

    Sad Morning

    This morning I woke up and immediately knew what happened. I didn't see my longnose hawk on the powerhead, gorgonian, or algae clip. I looked around the floor and eventually found him behind the sump. I'm so upset by this [emoji17] I knew they were jumpers but figured as long as I didn't mess...

    New Purchases

    Wanted to share my latest additions to my tank. I purchased a purple ribbon gorgonian and a very pretty flower anenome from Aquarium Care Center in Ocean today and I could not be happier. I began to see polyp expansion after about 5 minutes in the tank and of course my longnose hawk made himself...

    Feeding Fish

    I was curious about what everyone feeds their fish, and I figured that a lot of other people could also benefit from hearing about other people's experiences feeding their fish. So, what does everybody feed to their fish? Currently I feed NLS small fish formula as well as PE mysis and sometimes...

    Monti Health

    A really noob question I'm sure, but anyway, I don't really like any SPS except montipora. I bought this frag around a month ago for $10 but I'm not sure if it's doing okay. I had it under a light that kept it alive but not growing and just the other day switched to good lighting. Would you guys...

    Coralife LED Aqualight-S

    Free to anybody who wants it as long as you can pick up. In perfect condition, only used since mid April. It had no problem growing some softies and even kept alive the monti that I had directly underneath it. Would be great for a large fuge light or for a shallow tank Sent from my iPhone...

    WTB Corals (Monmouth County)

    So today is the day I finally got my new lights in the mail and they will be up shortly. Now that I can finally buy corals, I figured I could save a lot of money looking for some friendly sellers in here rather than stores. My current corals are green star polyps, a monti cap, and a toadstool...

    Time for Corals!

    Great day for me. Got a 50% water change done, my longnose hawkfish is eating after being with me for just a few hours, and my new lights came in the mail. Very excited to get some corals in there, will be posting in the want to buy section pretty soon so if anybody has some stuff they are...

    Cleaning Time

    Just got home from Florida. Tanks a bit of a mess and needs some TLC, gonna get in there with a 25% WC and some good gravel vaccing. Seems like something went wrong with the light over my display and it stayed on the entire time I was away.. Stressed fish and lots of nasty algae, fortunately...

    Land Crab

    Wanted to share this cool little land crab I found under some concrete today. I think he's a small Christmas Island crab but not 100% sure. Really cute regardless! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Looking for Longnose Hawkfish

    Hi, not sure if this is the appropriate spot to post but since it's general I'll try here. I really love Longnose Hawkfish and 100% want one as the star of my 46G! Anyway, before I head out to the LFS in a few days to buy one I wanted to make sure nobody here had one that they were looking to...

    Light Timers

    Hey guys, was looking at purchasing a Galaxyhydro light off of Amazon since they're so cheap and have great reviews online and I was just in a coral store in Hollywood, FL that used them on all their tanks. I didn't ask about if they do it all manually, but I would assume not. So, what timers do...
