    Great job. You should let the lfs know that all it took was a little care to rescue this fish from a certain death . Its a shame because it should be the stores job to preserve an animals health until it gets to the hobbiest . care to share the lfs's name . I would love not to shop there ! ;D

    question. pistol shrimp.

    If you can get the damsel out do so . It will be easier in the long run to add other fish if you ever want to . The shrimp should be able to defend itself and the goby should help it .

    Experience Wanted

    I have the room for the cryptic zone and don't see any downside to it . The scrubber is another story . Scary claims of green tinted water,spores entering main tank and overtaking every surface,toxic smells,loud splashing sounds,oh the horrors . I am exaggerating the cons, I think they can work...

    strange invaders

    It sounds like you have the dreaded pods j/k . They are most likely copepods and are a sign of a healthy tank . They are a great snack for your fish and help in cleanup. There a good thing .

    You can pick up some liquid food vitamins to soak food in before the feeding . A little tlc should do it good.

    Frag Plugs

    I do not know if this is the right forum but here it is .. I read on a few sites that marble acts as a great frag plug and frags seem to encrust it quicker than reg plugs. I bought a piece of marble tile for another reef project and could not find it unfinished . A vinegar/water bath removed...

    CHALICES & CLAM PHOTOS

    Thanks Steve . Phyl I did have my powerheads on but think the blur was from me,it is low down in the tank and i was not all that steady taking the shot . It is a pic of a chalice so flow probably has nothing to do with the blur .
