I had 3 Bartletts that were eating suddenly stopped eating and then died 4 days later. Anthias aren't the hardiest of fish. They aren't hand collected. They are collected like common feeder fish most likely using nets and cyanide, treated like common feeders and shipped poorly. most will...

Amphipods will not eat and do not eat living coral. They feed on dead or decaying matter in your tank. they are great little scaveners and a definite benefit to the ecosystem

Brine shrimp have basically no nutritional value for fish. It's like giving them candy IMO. Live brine are good to induce a feeding response in a finicky fish and maybe as a treat once in a while, but for everyday feeding it's not recommended. Mysis shrimp are a much better alternative but they...

Not much you can do at this point. Your cleanup crew will take care of it if it's dead and hope it's not something bad like Marine velvet. In the future if you would like to avoid any of these issues maybe you should think about QT'ing anything before you add it to your dispay. I speak from...

It might be a gorilla crab. In any event usually the hairy crabs are usually predatory carnivores and are not reef safe. I would toss him in the sump or get rid of him all together just to be on the safe side. Harry

I dont put anything in my tank that doesnt get QT'd for at least 6 weeks but usually more like 3 months. Chaeto can introduce pathogens to your tank. Whether you QT is up to you. If your buying from a fellow reefer and you know for a fact his tank is bad bug free then take your chance and don't...

reduce your phospates, excess nutrients, increase circulation and over time it will take care of the problem Thanks Harry

Yes you can, I also have LPS, softies, mushrooms, zoas under T5's and everything is growing and thriving. You can also keep SPS but you have to have a basically nitrient free environment thanks Harry

I think that all Tangs/Angels have a prepensity to graze on everything and anything. They aren't trying to eat the clams more like trying to eat micro algae growing on them. Offer them plenty of Nori and other foods. Most likely it will stop but you never know with fish. they have personalities...

depending on the size of the sump you can use the bakpak, just hang it on the outside of the sump. I know people who use it this way. the same principle applies if you hang it off the tank or sump Harry

if your looking for a HOB, i'd go with a cpr bakpak, they work great for tanks under 75. if your looking for one to hook into a sump you have a few choices but MRC makes a pretty good one Harry

To date AO is my favorite store and I've been to a bunch. I've been in there once a week since i found out about it. I love that Will and Ethan aren't pushy and let you browse and are super friendly. I've also met a bunch of members from here there and had plenty of discussions with other...

Phyl, I'd rather not say here in public. I have seen the individual on this forum and others. my wife actually bought them for me after i saw them and i told her that i liked them. We definately will never buy from this individual again. Aside from the late shipping. the way they were shipped...

so far so good all fish getting along and the GSP remain untouched. I have a nice peaceful tank once again

they are actually getting along. they were swimming within 3 inches of each other with no issues. I now have to watch and see if there are anymore polyp eating episodes

forget the aggression issues. The flame completely destroyed my green star polyps. there are basically none left. Will they grow back and also will it stop at some point. thanks Harry

Interestingly enough their slide started when they brought in Ricky Henderson (negative influence IMO). I think they stopped playing as a team. they stopped hitting. Granted their pitching definately was lacking. Oh well better luck next year

Go phillies, Unabashed yankees fan here. So who's gonna get the can? Omar or Willie? Harry

yea i know Sam, lesson learned, but i guess it depends on who is selling. Funny thing is that it took almost 3 weeks to get them and the guy lives in jersey. I told him to cancel the order but he shipped them out before he got my cancel email. I will never buy from him again.

I tried the feeding thing. The tang hasn't touched the nori. It just keeps circling where I think the Angel is hiding. thanks
