    Best way to introduce new clownfish to established clown?

    I’ve had this one clownfish for over a year now and I thought it was about time to get her a friend. Made sure to get one that was significantly smaller than her. Yesterday, initially added him to the breeder box you can see in the photo. I expected my established clown to be a lot more...

    Benggai cardinals fight! Now what?

    My benggai are probably both males and fighting each other (fluval 13.5). I moved one into a quarantine 5 gal (not ideal) and need advice. Do I add a female, then reintroduce the third? Or add a female to each tank? Thanks coral friends!

    What are my bumble bee shrimp doing?

    Do some fish scratch but not have ick?

    I have noticed that some fish seem to scratch themselves against the sand bed every once in a while and it seems territorial to me but was not sure if that was a "thing" so I thought I'd ask and see if anyone knew.

    Major Aggression After Last Addition

    Hello, I am running a 75 gallon reef tank and have recently added a juvenile Kole Tang to my current stock list which includes two ocellaris clownfish, one banggai cardinal, one fairy wrasse, and a sand hopper blenny. After acclimating the Kole it took quite well to it’s new environment. The...

    Outsmarting bullies in order to introduce new fish

    Small backstory and description of inhabitants: I have a ~50 gallon reef, no sump, that has been running for about 4 years. I started up with 2 ocellaris clowns, 1 ecsenius bicolor and 1 stenopus hispidus shrimp. All of these 4 learned to live together and were the only ones lasting; the...
