So getting ready to use the super old live rock that sat outside in buckets for years, I recently soaked it in bleach solution, and it has been soaking in freshwater a couple weeks. To seed it, think I can put a couple pieces at a time in an established tank for a few days? Also, does anyone...

Glad you didn’t drive off with them on the roof of your car at least

I had no idea peppermints or any shrimp would eat corals.

I think all 7 boxes I have are that size and smaller, some nested. You can see what you can use.

A tiny pistol shrimp ate hammers? How did you catch it? That is a nice looking rock structure. Gorgonian there up on the right?

Do you have access to live brine shrimp? Tiny single LED blacklight? I might be able to grab some fluorescent microplastic from my school. A fascinating (but also depressing) observation of bioaccumulation of microplastics in the ocean. :( Oh yah - if your school has any oleophilic bacteria -...

Diatoms, diatoms, diatoms! Under low magnification: fish scale (from market seafood). So many algae - so different. Sloughed off coral tissue. Shine actinic light on live coral tissue/zooxanthellae while viewing. While looking at algae, change salinity drastically. If you have access to low...

Approx. sizes you can use?

Will bring in my car, thanks

Was going to just bring to swap but I am a lazybones and don’t want to if no one wants them. Couple are cardboard boxes lined with 1” foam. Could people use these?

Oh, that’s great! I’m glad you can use them. At the end of the year eighth graders do sketchbook activities of observations of larvae through butterflies, since most have not done that since kindergarten or first grade. Cool to release all of the butterflies from butterfly enclosures, but I...

I was sent 2-3 dozen too many. These are green hornworm/tomato worm moth larvae. They turn into cool moths but CANNOT BE RELEASED. I know some reptiles eat them. These are .5-1.” Can bring to swap.

We are enjoying the latest antics of our sponge decorator crab. A week ago he ditched his sponge and was spied wearing a tuft of algae on his back. Now we know why: he waits for a snail with algae on its shell to start moving up the glass, then hitches a ride to the top. He knows where fish food...

I would like a frag of this one. @rye22, @Michael Hans, @Kenzo, @SJ701, @AndynotDrew, @MolaMola, have requested a frag. This post was automatically created by BARcode
