Oh ye, their not parasites and their probably of the amphipod suborder "Gammaridea" if you want to research them.
Amphipods! Their good for your tank. They eat up detritus and algae, stir up the top layers of sediment, and provide food for some fish and coral.
Go with the hairless theory. Hairless = probably okay. Acro crabs are crazy good for the coral their on and at the worst if it is bad, crabs are...
I joke not. One of the Florida fishing captains has a "how to" video on lionfish food prep. He makes toothpicks to stick the lionfish chunks with...
Lionfish spines make really good tooth picks. Just make sure to bake the skin and venom off first!
They are for sure bridgelux. I used aquastyle to build my first DIY LED. They are Chinese as hell, but for tanks <~20 inches they are outstanding...
That's true, but also I know fisheries (commercial) here in GA are taking big hits, and some are on the downswing in terms of population. This is...
Eat them!! Lionfish are very tasty and I know there's been a movement on the East coast to create food fishery for lionfish and while won't remove...
Bridgelux will work fine for a 4 gallon. 8 is probably enough, but the dimming could be a problem. I'm running 3 bridglelux (2 blue, 1 10k) on a 1...
I have had one in a 40 gallon breeder for about a year and a half now. Mine actually feeds mostly on amphipods instead of copepods. Amphipods are...

For some reason this paper now come up on Google Scholar. Just for anyone whom finds it through Google Scholar, THIS IS NOT A PEER REVIEWED ARTICLE,...
I kept one for a very short time. Low light and/or lots of shaded overhangs. I fed by use a half liter or so of food mix in a bucket that had a...
My roommate had two of those in a zoa colony. He never found out what it was and gave the colony away to someone else who didn't care about it. It...
Looks like some species of large bristle worm. A fireworm is a common example.
You can get the same light straight from china through Alibaba.com and save 50-100 bucks. Just gotta deal with emailing the Chinese.
This has been happening in my tank, using a sea chem magnesium test and red sea calcium test. My magnesium ranges from 1500-1800 depending on how...
This just happened to my tank for 18hrs down to 61F, and my friends tank for 3 days at 64F. All of my stuff didn't even seem phased by it, sps, lps,...
Touching it shouldn't hurt it as long as your not putting a ridiculous amount of force on it. I toss mine around a lot by hand when it gets in the...
