    i wouldn't worry about the bristle worm. i consider them to be a good part of the clean up crew and it is unlikely to have had anything to do with the death of your shrimp.

    I would shoot for 1.025 for salinity, the way to accomplish that is to make sure your fresh salt water is at 1.025 when you do your water changes. That way there is not too much of a shock to the system and there is no danger of over shooting the salinity.

    I have Metal Halide lighting and anywhere but on the sand is a little too much for the froggy, he is also partially shaded under a large piece of LR so that helps him as well. He doesn't like too high of a light.

    I should clarify, the reason the B/W clown is in the frogspawn is because the other clown won't let him anywhere near the rainbow bubble tip on the opposite side of the tank! It's all good though, he even feeds the frog spawn!

    By the way, I like your finger leather coral, leather corals are one of my favorite. Here is my "leather garden" I have a toadstood leather, devil's hand, finger leather and a flower leather. The flower leather!

    Beautiful! My fish guy sold it to me from his personal tank, he has one that is HUGE! Could be that is why he dropped his heads, I had just moved him higher up on the rocks, next time do my research. Will add some of my salty water now to get it up a little before the change out tomorrow then. ;O) Thanks all!!

    Hmmmm, it looked like something wanted a snack of them as they were both found (at different times) partially pulled under a rock but not a lot was eaten out of them. Glad to hear it though as he has been impossible to catch so far!
