    Aquacultured Inverts, Sponges & Gorgonians?

    Who’s currently aquaculturing a variety of: • Photosynthetic sponges • Photosynthetic gorgonians • Rarer inverts • Cleaner shrimp, etc.? I’d love to support them and give them kudos. It’s hard to find a reliable source of these that are 100% aquacultured.

    Mangrove Owners Needed! Lagoon tank build and stocking questions.

    Hello All, I acquired around 5/6 mangrove pods from a recent trip to FL. The pods are growing out nicely in the refugium of my 90G tank. As I let them fully develop, I think it is best to look toward the future as they cannot permanently live in a sump. The solution, I plan on buying glass and...

So i have a biocube 16g. Nothing to special. I have always loved tropical fish and now that I’ve got...

    I will be transferring livestock from one tank to another this weekend, and would like to know a good method for finding all my invert creatures to safely move them. As you know, they hide in the rock work, but I will not be transferring the existing rock, so they need to come out of their...

    Cleaner shrimp acclimation best practice

    Hi. I’ve tried purchasing cleaner shrimp multiple times now from LA... every time I try to add them they seem to arrive happy and then struggle during the acclimation. My last order from there I got two skunk cleaners and a blood red. I put the three together in a bucket after floating them...

    Why does it matter where inverts are sourced from?

    So I was looking at LiveAquaria, and they offer different options for cleaner shrimp sourcing, ranging from Africa, to Indonesia, and Sri Lanka. Does it matter where they are sourced from? I know for fish, that their colorations and capture methods can vary based on area, but don't think I've...

    Any experiences with Serpent Stars? Fish-eating monsters, or model citizens?

    Part 2 to TBS "The Package" arrived on Thursday, and they included a Serpent Star (about 4" across). I've fed him a cube of Mysis Shrimp twice now, and he comes out pretty quick even with lights still somewhat on to take it. But honestly, he scares the heck out of me. I'm also worried he'll go...

    ORA Variegated Urchin Closeup Video - Zach's 120 Gallon Reef Resurgence

    I was poking around last night and got this video of one of my ORA Variegated Urchins out and about. I love watching the guys scour the rock work looking for tasty algae to eat. They don't do squat against dinos but they seem to be doing well since I added them a month ago on 09/02/2017...

    Invert ID please

    It looks like a nassarius without a shell. However, since I have never actually seen a shelless nassarius, I have no idea. Please tell me if the little guy is a friend or foe. His life is in your hands. Thanks, Jim

    coral/anemone on crabs

    I was wondering is there a species (similar to pompom crab) where they carry anemones / corals and they actually live. I've heard decorator crabs cut off zoans but do the polys live or just die? I really want a moving tiny reef so please tell me anything ASAP thx ^^
