This ^^^ Fish have their own personality, and while the others may be ok with the chromis, one might not take kindly to newcomers. I'd suggest...
Judging by the clubs, I have to agree- it's most likely a baby mantis.
Unfortunately, your only options are to frag it (and maybe sell some pieces), or rehome it altogether.
Congrats on the new tank, Cheryl. Looking great! ;)
Although the CoraLife unit doesn't sport the best reflector, it will still produce plenty of light for any clam in a 55g. I'd suggest switching to...
Just to add to the other great ideas, what is your tank temp, and is it stable? In nature, a temp increase of only 2F can bleach corals if sustained...
First, I'd wait until they show an interest- i.e. picking at rocks, etc- before introducing a lot of extra food. Second, you should only feed finely...
Moving fish is always stressful, especially for skiddish species such as the Copperband. I'd give them several days to recover and adjust to their...
Don't see how it would be an issue. Only water evaporates (hence the reason we top off with freshwater), so IMHO, the corrosive property of SW would...
My greatest success with a Condy was in my very first SW aquarium- a 20g FO. Not only was it still thriving when I sold the tank, but in the 7 years...
Freshwater. :D Seriously though, there are several species of Anthias, Basslets, Blennies, Cardinals, Dartfish, Gobies, and more that lack bright,...
+1 Gas exchange does still occur without flow, just not as rapidly. However, without any life forms using O2 and producing CO2, gas exchange is a...
Floating glass hydrometer. If it's good enough for scientific labs, then it's good enough for me. ;)...
+1 to the high nitrates feeding the algae and most likely killing your CuC. What size tank? How many and what types of fish? What and how much do...
Well, sort of, but you'd mostly just be wasting bleach. +1 to 1/8 cup per 5g.
An RBTA is supposed to be... well... red. :D Seriously, it appears it was partially bleached in the first video, and has regained some of it's...
+1 to both. Unfortunately, most sea stars are predators with a specialized diet that we cannot realistically supply. The ones that do scavenge...
Unfortunately, hares tend to target one specific food source, and so will most likely die once the algae has cleared up. Personally, I prefer the...
+1 to ^^^ - 1.026 is optimum. As mentioned, drop it slowly over a few days by removing a small amount of water and replacing it with fresh.
Bleach kills, cleans, and sterilizes without leaving a harmful residue; as already stated, it evaporates. Necessity, however, will depend on each...
