I have a tank with a midas blenny
multi-colored wrasse
powder blue tang
8 inch anemone

What can I do to fight them ?

How big do individual polyps get on green button polyps (zoanthus
polchellus)?  I got it 2 weeks ago and the largest polyp was about 1/4 inch
across.  Most are now about 1/2 inch across.  At this pace they will grow

Hey everyone! I am new at this so bear with me. The replies to the posts I
have read are excellent so far so I think this is the right mix of aquarists
to ask. My question is...I have a local fish store who is selling a crab
called a "Monkey Crab" it is brown with some black wavy ...

I have a 5 year old reef tank and have had success with a wide variety
of hard and soft corals.  I have had problems with Ricordia however.
On several occasions I have purchased some very expensive and beautiful
blue ricordia.  I have tried placing them in a variety of locations in

I'd like, once my tank is settled, to add a pink tipped anemone to my

It has 2" substrate in the bottom and 27kg of live rock.

I cleaned out my 75 gal tank with a abrasive pad (no chems on it)
andrinsed it with tap water. Then I put 3 15lbs bags of arganite in it
and filled it. The problem I am having is that it is very murky and
there is a foam that has gathered on top. I have a penguin 300 and a

I set my 29G tank up about a month ago.  Skimmer, 10Kg living rock

rock, 4 cleaner shrimp, 1 blue regal, 1 lawnmower blenny, 1 mardinrin, 1
blue devil, 2 false clowns, 2 yellow chromis, 1 samoses clam. In the last 6

problems with nitrates.  one or two people have suggested that with the
amount of LR in my tank that that's all I should use and dump the sump.
