The first critter looks like a sponge of some sort...there are many types that crop up here and there. The critters in the second photo are Serpulid...
FWIW, I've never seen a Nassarius with an operculum ("trap door"), and we have lots of them of a couple of different species. I think you have a...
We run #3 grade aragonite. It "lays down" really well, but isn't a detritus trap like CC. If you want something a bit finer, run #1 grade....
Fuzzies are pretty common, depending on what you're looking for. Finding specific color morphs or sex can take a bit longer. Cockatoos can be more...
I've kept Tongans in the past, and never had any trouble, but as mentioned, there's the "potential"...
That green stuff looks like Ulva, to me, not Gracillaria. It grows well, and ends up being long, 2"-3" wide green ribbons of macro that can get...
Robyn, You're most welcome. Yes, there are places that will drill your tank. You do need to find out if the tank is tempered (sometimes it's just...
We use DD, PIA, and BZA.
Ah, you must mean the Waspfish/Stingfish Care article...there is indeed one that has been in the works, but it currently resides with the nano pred...

Lionfish Lair actually came to you...;D
You could actually keep some pretty interesting fishes in a 60 gal setup. We've kept multiple dwarf lionfishes, small species scorps, and waspfishes...
Cleaner shrimp have a tendency to be "insistent" if they decide to clean your fishes, meaning they will actually follow the fish around and bug them....
You need to be careful as to which species you get...some will pick each other off, some aren't as bad. We found that blotched anthias (O....
Allelopathy...haven't heard that word in awhile. :-) Just to chime in, depending on how your tank is set up, and what your flow pattern is, you...
Be really, REALLY careful about disturbing your sandbed. I've seen peeps kill off tanks by stirring their substrate. I'd remove whatever you want...
While it's true that anglers could care less about corals, they will indeed eat any ornamental crustaceans as well as any fishes that are upto about...
