    Pencil Urchin in Seahorse tank

    I have a 29 biocube turned into a seahorse tank. Since I've been over feeding the seahorses I started developing quite a bit of hair algae. I thought no problem I'll put a Pencil Urchin in there to help control it and didn't think it would be able to harm the seahorses with the thick dull...

    Idea to catch a fish!

    So I have a Biocube 29 that I glue/epoxied all my rock together. Dismantling was not an option, but I needed to catch a Coral Beauty to transfer to my home tank. I never thought about it until today as I failed to catch it 5 days in a row. I thought about using plastic bags to wall off the back...

    Urchin that cares about sun protection

    So I bought an emerald crab for my Biocube and they put a little plastic screen in the bag for it to hang on to. I left it in the tank for him to walk off overnight, and the next morning I found my Halloween urchin carrying it around. Then the next day he swapped it for a big chunk of coraline...

    Flatworm or nudibranch? Microscopic image

    So I bought a new zoanthid frag last week and found an adult nudibranch today. When I sucked it out with a syringe I found a couple of these things. I think it's a young nudibranch since I don't see any eyespots for Planarian. What do ya'll think? Ashlar? Thanks Alan alt="">

    Sea hare ink

    Tonight I was looking around my tank and sump when I couldn't find my sea hare. I finally found it in my sump where I was using normal egg crate for my frag rack. It managed to get stuck trying to pass through the egg crate with just his head and about an inch of body. I tried to get him to back...

    Problem with Recharging Purigen

    So I thought I'd do some nice maintenance for the tank since I bought a nice new coral at the frag swap. I had 100ml of Purigen and it was starting to turn brown. I knew you can recharge it by bleaching and then dechlorinating so I thought I'd get ahead of the game and recharge it as a...

    Splitting Cespitularia

    So I thought I was buying a xenia and was pleasantly suprised to be told it was actually ORA Blue Cespitularia about 1.5 months ago. Since then the small plug has grown twice it's original size and started attatching to a neighboring rock and slowly walked up the rock away from the original...

    Crab ID question Picture Added

    I just set up a 14 G Biocube and bought some live rock from DNA on Tuesday. Just found a crab stowaway yesterday that I can't identify. I tried to take a picture but they didn't come out well (I'll try and upload them this weekend). It likes to hide and hasn't come out fully but is moving around...
