Hello coral friends!
I have an infestation of alviopora, and was asking if I can introduce a peppermint shrimp to my family, given it's current inhabitants. Asking for any suggestions for doing so. Thank you for taking your time to read this!

Hi all,
One week ago my cleaner shrimp’ gills started to turn blackish. At the moment didn’t really think much of it and after a molt it was back to normal. Then several days ago it came back and now it’s really black (see picture). I searched the internet and only found 2 similar cases where...
Probably a dumb question, but could a 12”+ lionfish possibly let a very small cleaner fish live? Or would it just snack?
More hypothetical than anything
Hey guys,
I’m not sure if my cleaner shrimp is dead or not. Check out the video.
Two days ago he was just standing there, motionless (apart from its antennae). Even when food was given, it didn’t move. I thought maybe it’s molting so that’s why he didn’t move.

With everyone trying their hardest to QT, dip, and keep parameters perfect, it still can happen.
Pests!
Maybe bristle worms, Aiptasia, flatworms, or hair algae.
The question what do YOU use for that unexpected nuisance? there are a lot of short term cures but what would you want to put and KEEP...

Ive read multiple threads on the Vibrant cleaner and Ive also talked to people in my local reefing group. Everyone seemed to have a good experience with it but I still didnt want to try it until it circulated more. What finally convinced me was when i talked to my LFS owner and he told me that...
