    Nice Red Starfish

    I have to admit that I'm a sucker for red Starfish. I have 5 in my reef now. But even I can't spend $200 on this one, even if it is half price! https://www.liveaquaria.com/product/8396/royal-tile-sea-star?pcatid=8396&c=747+8421+8396&s=ts&r=

    R.I.P. Sand Dollar

    My sand dollar died last month. I went out to Something Fishy this past weekend to get another. To my surprise, they had one. (It never showed up on their web inventory.) They'd had it for a year, and kept moving it from a sand bottom invert tank to another invert sand bottom tank to keep it...

    Note for GFO HC Users

    I just discovered that Salt Water Aquarium (SaltwaterAquarium - Aquarium Supplies) is carrying BRS GFO HC for a little less than BRS sells it for on both regular and sale prices. Probably true for BRS ROX Carbon too, but I didn't check those prices.

    Very Large Deresas $100

    I hit Something Fishy today. They had some very large Deresa Clams for only $100 each. They looked to be 4 to 5 inches each. I think there were five of them in three different patterns. There was no indication of origin — they usually mark "ORA" if something originated there. I've actually...
