desired temperature for the heater to run at, such as Ebo Jaeger, but was
wondering how reliable these "set it" heaters can be.  Does ...

I have a Kole tang that has been doing great (or so I thought).  I have had
him for about a month and a half.  I noticed over the last few days that he
has what looks like two small slices(one on each side) on his tail.  Is this
normal?  It didn't seem to bother him and they look ...

   I have a false percula clownfish that I bought about a week ago.  It
appears to be doing fine, and is very active, but just after I bought it, I
noticed a large white spot on its side.  It looks like a large grain of
sugar.  I've watched it really close, and it hasn't seemed to ...

I recently purchased two Cerith snails from my LFS and am wondering if
anyone else uses these snails as part of the clean up crew for their tanks.
I have a few questions relating to them and their activities.  A few moments
after I put them into the tank (after acclimation), they ...

I just noticed on one of my rocks a new 'growth'.  It just started
growing.  Right now, it's a small, thin, white or opaque in color,
growth, about 1/2" in length, with smaller 'branches' starting to form
on it.  Can anyone tell me what this might be?
