invert

Hello, I just received a cleanup crew shipment and in one of the bags with a whole mess of dwarf ceriths there was what looks to be an extremely small clam. It's no bigger than a centimeter and I'm wondering if anyone knows if it will get larger or remain small. I placed it in my sand bed...

So I usually run a little bit if phyto before bed and this time I had quite the surprise! My emerald crabs appeared to have spawned a new generation of bubble destroyers. I was so surprised I couldn’t really “set up” a nice recording session- but I still managed to get a couple of places they...

So this 1 inch CSB came in a few days ago initially tried a glass cup and he was super happy but at night flew out of the cup and landed right next to a large war coral (touching) so I intervened and placed him in a condiment cup on the sand bed in full light 100-150 par (for now) The...

Hoping someone can identify what this invert is and if it’s harmful at all. Looks like a slug with a soft shell, snail without a shell.

Interesting perspective After noticing an “asterina” starfish (I actually believe the are a different species) population starting to grow in a 1.5 year old mixed reef - I kept a close eye on my 2 colonies of illuminati zoas (as I started to see the asterinas sitting on zoas) I was able to...

Hi everyone, I have like 3 emerald crabs, and I noticed only one of them have this like algae or hairy stuff growing on its back. Does anyone know what is that? should I be concerned? should I remove him? On that note, would they eat seaweed? i’m concerned that they don’t have enough food and...

Hi all, I don't like to show my work as I am a newcomer to this lovely world of reefing, and my posts are not "Instagrammable" since my first tank ever is not that nice looking, but let me start my own tank build. Since I am based in France, I noticed we have some differences in terms of...

Hello, I have a Fluval Evo 13.5 that has been set up since early October of last year. It has had a big algae problem since the beginning and I’ve had different inverts during this time. Currently, I have a tuxedo urchin and three electric blue hermit crabs. The urchin is pretty small but there...

I have a new 25 gallon to wich im transferring two clownfish, tailspot blenny and blood shrimp. I don’t want to add any more fish and instead want to focus on inverts, I love them, crabs, sea stars, urchins, you name it. What is a good list of good inverts I can add that aren’t super tiny...

I just picked these stars up from the store earlier and noticed they have these weird polyp like growths coming off their arms in addition to the regular spikes. I asked the guy at the store and he said it may have something to do with breeding but wasn’t sure. Just curious if anyone else has...

Hi there - I’ve had this snail for about 2 weeks and just noticed this scab/lesion looking thing on his back (not the shell). Any idea what this is or if it’s a sign of something bad for my other fish?

What is he? (The one under the blasto, not the spionid worm to the left)

Hello! I am getting back into the hobby and want some suggestions on some centerpiece invertebrates that would do well in a 16 gallon macro algae aquarium. I do not want any fish, and I would like to showcase some rarer or more uncommon critters that often do not thrive in fish and coral heavy...

Hello! My LFS had a black blunt spine brittle star on sale and I made an impulse purchase because I love the way they look. I know most brittle stars are reef safe but I’ve read that some may eat fish. Does anyone have experience with this type of brittle star?

Just though this was cool, recently got some female emerald crabs from reef cleaners in hopes of tackling a moderate BA outbreak (even though nitro is undetectable) , they have completely ignored the Bubble Algae … One of the emerald crabs kept going to an area in the rocks and eating some sort...

Anyone know where to buy nano conchs (strombus maculatus) I don’t see it on ipsf any more Thanks !

At work today we had a crab come in that nobody can identify. We got it in a batch of emerald crabs, and it was labeled as a black emerald crab despite it not being one. Any ideas what it could be?

At some point in the future, I would like to set up an aquarium with only invertebrates like snails, crabs, shrimp, brittle stars, and so on. (no fish or corals!) These are in my opinion, some of the most fascinating members of the aquarium hobby and reef ecosystems in general! So naturally I...

I am looking for advice on what fish/inverts to stock in my 100G display. I currently have: - 2 Clown Fish - 1 Coral Banded Shrimp - 1 Clam - Various LPS and SPS Corals. - My wife is very keen that we have a yellow tang, so that is the one tang I plan to add in the future. - I would like to add...

Does anyone actually have/had one of these guys? They are currently my dream animal and I would love to own one Probably 99% of the threads on every single forum are full of people saying 'i dont own one but this one random website says ________' and honestly i dont believe half of the things...

Recently split. Pick up near king of Prussia.

My snails were doing naughty things. My acro are all responding well. So proud tonight to watch things thriving.

Hey, I'm living in Butte Montana. It's been, and is going to be a challenge keeping a tank here due to the limited shops and services within a couple hundred miles. Took me a good while to get any aquarium up and running. But I finally got ahold of a 14 gallon Fluval at a really cool shop in...
