Are pistol shrimps actually safe for other livestock in the tank? Was supposed to buy a goby and pistol pair but went with a goby only since I read some that it killed their snails and shrimps. Now I'm actually planning to get one for the watchman goby. currently have 2 clownfish, 3 Nasarius...
Hey Guys, so I’ve never had an Angel before and I’m not interested in the Coral Beauty but more the Flame Angel. I know they’re more on the Reef Safe with caution side and I do plan on purchasing through World Wide Coral if I decide to get one so I know it’s going to be an ORA and not wild...
Hello, I’ve recently taken a liking to the saddle Valentini puffer.
My question is if it would be happy at home in my tank.
My tank is a 32 gallon biocube with mixed corals from sps to softies and a GBTA. Only nails are Tonga nassarius snails and trochus snails. I also have a cleaner shrimp...
Hi folks, can you please name these two circled anthias? Are they reef safe as well? Because one of the local members sent us a video of the lighter colored one picked up on softies but I heard anthias were supposed to be reef safe and beginner-friendly.
Cheers!
I just purchased this to treat my reef tank but now that I read the pictures it doesn’t say reef safe, does anyone know if this is reef safe or safe for corals? I have used the red slime one but not this one I don’t know if it makes a difference or not
Could someone who's had a red serpent stafish in a reef tank chime in with their insight? I'd really appreciate it :)
I found this old thead about it, but it's vague. It's unclear if there are multiple species of red serpent starfish, and if they are all reef safe.
I just ordered a Red Serpent...
So I snagged a used 200 to 250 gallon storage drum for free. The person getting rid of it had bought the house and the old owner had left it there. The only thing he knew was that the owner owned a detergent making company and probably used it to store chemicals in it.
Is there ANY way to...
I have a 30 gallon tank with some corals and a 20 gallon refugium. I currently have 2 clown fish and a diamond goby, and was thinking about adding 1 or 2 more fish. Since the clowns are always in the water column, and the goby is always on the sand, I was wanting to get a fish that will swim...
I have a 100 gallon reef tank that has been running for about 8 months now. I am thinking of adding a couple more fish to the community before the established fish become too territorial for any new arrivals. My current stock is as follows:
Desjardini tang
Powder blue tang
Blue hippo Tang

Introduction
It has long been a dream of mine to build a larger tank (like no doubt many of us) since I started keeping marine fish a century ago (approximately). After putting it off for far too long, I have finally decided to go all in on a new dream build! As with many things I set my mind...
Hello I am trying to put a list of fish together for a new build and I'd really like to stock it with fish only found around the Hawaiian islands. If you could give me some ideas that would be great. Also its for a 75 gallon and I'm sure ill be upgrading that as well at some point.
Just got this dude off of Live Aquaria DD. I've seen them from time to time and always thought they were pretty neat. From what I understand they are very similar to freshwater Pleco with the major exception of the Clingfish needing meaty foods.
Just thought I'd see what everyone else has...
Hey all!, Happy March Madness! I Plan on getting started with stocking this weekend So just double checking. All going into a 40 breeder reef (i'll be ordering a screen kit).
Midas Blenny
Tailspot Blenny
Purple or exquisite firefish
Rainfords Goby
Green Clown Goby
and Possibly a wrasse of some...
Hey guys. I just picked this guy up at my LFS. Guy said he was a pest hitchhiker so I bought it off him for a couple bucks. His body is probably about 3 inches wide not including the claws/legs. He's pretty big. He's munching on some octopus I just gave him. I bought it for my mantis shrimp...
Got a large changling Emperor. It’s eating mysis, brine, Larry’s, and nori, and it’s in QT. Had one before that didn’t touch anything, but I think I was lucky.
Planning on a reef home 180. No acans or zoanthids. I understand is hit or miss, but thoughts as to high to low probability of it...
I love the body shape and personality of pufferfish and would love to add one of the little toby puffers to my tank!
However, I also love my corals... and would prefer they weren't eaten.
I have lps, mushrooms, a leather, sps, zoas / polyps, gorgonians, nps, and a maxi mini carpet... so a...
Are foxfaces and its variants reef safe? LFS having some sales on foxfaces, thinking about picking one up. I have heard mixed things. They have a young magnificent and one spot and the regular as well. When I say "reef safe" I mean safe with Corals and Inverts.
Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving...
