The twitching does indeed suggest stray voltage or a parasitic infestation. I can't really see that the "clicking" should bother the fishes, but an...
I agree...that is one critter you want to remove. We actually kept one for awhile in a little pico all its own. It was pretty cool.
As for the "reef safe" thing, ALL Scorpaeniformes are reef safe in that they could care less about the corals, unless they're a species that lives in...
Hmmm...that's a little scorp, as for ID, it may be tuff, but I'll see what I can come up with. Are there any bars or spots on its caudal fin? That...
I think I mentioned that that was where we differ in opinion... ;)
Never even felt a bump...kudos Matt!
How about a side view?...need to see what the fish looks like, and may have to count fin rays to help ID it.
I dunno...at 3' of head, you're down to about 150 gph, and the pump is only rated for 5' max, so it won't be enuff pump once you get to the tank rim...
rayjay knows his stuff when it comes to SH, and I agree that your best bets are to keep the temp below 74*F and get TRUE CB stock. Besides being...
Looks like your diatom bloom is starting. Just let it go (clean the glass if you like), and it will disappear all on its own. The more you mess...

FWIW, I had a CBS for about 8 years...it was HUGE and cranky!
Can you get a couple more pix of the fish with the cloudy eyes? I'm thinking it's a little scorp, altho the pic does look a bit like the Fortescue...
I play all of the woodwinds, but yes, I'm a sax player at the end of the day. Here's a shot of Renee's little corner from last summer...it's kind of...
It's a SCARY ordeal, for sure. You get your site "just right" and it's hard to pull that trigger even tho in the longrun it will be the right...
Welcome! Nice-looking stuff!
Spongebob, Here's a link to a good ID guide for your hitchhikers...just find the pic that matches your critter: Hitchhikers Guide to Your Aquarium
Just a few things we've learned over the years: Fast-growers will generally out compete the slower growers. Reds generally grow more slowly than...
That green tube isn't a pump...it's a UV unit (if we're talking about the same piece of equipment). Nice job on the garden and the pond. Renee...
