    Bangai’s bred in my tank!

    I had some of these born in my display tank a few years ago. I fished them out and put them in a quarantine tank. They were initially tiny, barely visible. They grew well on just frozen baby brine shrimp, canned copepods and the little particles of various frozen foods leftover when defrosting...

    Dumb bandsaw question

    I have one of the club bandsaws which I plan to use this weekend. Question: do I put fresh or salt water in the saw? Seems like saltwater would be better for the coral but bad for the saw. And how full? The company instructions say something about no higher than the bottom sponge. I went to a...

    Reef Lobster - what to do with Larry

    Mine is in my sump. Beautiful creature but I don’t see him unless I look with a flashlight at night. I think he may have eaten peppermint shrimp. I can’t prove it but I think it eats aptasia. The box running down the midline of the back of my tank which houses the return and drain pipes is full...

    6/1 Members-Only Frag Swap at Mission Blue Center

    Many thanks to BOD and others who put this great event on. They seem to have it down to a science but I’m sure it’s a lot of work. Nice to meet some new folks. Great venue.

    DBTC: Rose Bubble Tip Nem

    I would love one as well to go in my regular green BTA tank. I will bring some of those to give away as well if anyone wants them.

    Help with coral ID for swap

    I could use some help labeling these 2 corals. The purple one was identified as “frogspawn euphyllia” by the person who gave it to me, but I’m not sure. I have no idea what the green one is. Thanks.

    6/1 Members-Only Frag Swap at Mission Blue Center

    Question about the frag swap: If a person realizes that perhaps they are not exactly sure of the correct identification for some of the corals they are bringing, will the check in people be able to assist in identifying them properly? Asking for a friend.

    Any clever solutions for corals that are not getting along with their neighbors?

    When I glued these corals on the “rock” they seemed far apart-but they’ve grown. As you can see from the photo the chalice is on the losing end. Anyone have ideas other than just breaking/cutting the rock (which I think is actually a coral deadhead found on the beach years ago)? I guess a...

    Carpet Anemones, anyone?

    If anyone happens to be in the store, I would be curious as to how much the pink ones cost and approximate size. Neptune is a long drive for me, and apparently they don’t take phone calls.

    Exiting Hobby - To start: Free Tomini Tang, Biota Mandarin, Neon Dottyback, Percula Clownfish, & Banggai Cardinal | Details in post

    It’s not clear to me if the fish have found a home. If not I could home the bangaii, the dottyback, and probably the mandarin (I have a male but in 106g tank so ? two males OK). My big tank has 3 ocellaris and my 29g has 2 Clarks clownfish and I’m not sure they would be welcoming to the percula...

    Chemiclean killing anemone ?

    Has anyone had any experience with Chemiclean and BTAs? My 29 gallon tank has only 2 Clark’s clownfish and innumerable bubble tip anemones covering every light exposed area of rock plus some on back wall of tank and glass. All were clones of my original anemone. Had always been very happy...
