What are several different kinds of salt water fish that swim in schools?

By on Saturday, July 31st, 2010 | 2 Comments

I have a 55 gal. saltwater tank with 4 clown fish and anemones. I also have a coral banded shrimp. What are some good saltwater fish that swim in schools that i could put with these guys.
Um well damsels won’t work they are aggressive fish i have clown fish and a shrimp. So you are wrong. I need other schooling fish that are not aggressive.

sea anemone advice needed asap, found 1 in my salt water tank…?

I bought live rock for my salt water tank and I found a sea anemone on it. It is about 1.5-2″ big, green with white tips. I have no idea how to care for it or feed it. Does it need special light? How much light per day (hours)? What do I feed it? I saw stuff online that says zoo plankton but other stuff says phyto plankton. Which is it? Will they eat brine shrimp? Copepods? Amphipods? Rotifers? I am confused because I saw so many things online but most articles said food is different for different sea anemones & I have no clue what type this is. It looks like the kind I see often here in California tide pools. Also, I have brittle stars & turbo snails. Is this a problem (as I also saw online that some starfish & snails eat anemones)? The more info. the better as I am clueless how to keep him alive & well. Any supplements I should buy that are natural foods or minerals they need?
From what I have seen online it does not look like aiptasia.
This one has a golden beige base (which disappears into the rock) & face, pink raised spot in middle of the round “face”. Tentacles are very short (about just 1/4 inch) & bit fat. They are mint green color and have white on the very end of the tips.
I now believe it is a Anthopleura elegantissima Sea Anemone. How do I feed, care for it? Will it be a problem in my tank? What fish, inverts. will it kill? What kill it?

My marine saltwater live rock are turning white!!?

By on Saturday, July 31st, 2010 | 7 Comments

I’ve had my 55g marine tank for 4 months now. I brought my 15kg fuji live rock from someone else who had their live rock for over two years, there was no problems and looked all healthy. Two months after having them in my tank they grown loads of purple coralline which was great but recently there’s lots of white patches appearing and it’s getting worse! I always checked my water every week, pH, nitrite, nitrate, ammonia, salinity are all fine. On a weekly bases I add red sea marine trace and calcium in the tank.

I’ve one torch coral, two clown fish, one regal tang, two scarlet shrimp, 5 turbo snails, 5 scarlet hermit crabs and two emerald crabs. Two T5 lighting, a powerhead, external filter and protein skimmer.

Why are my live rock dying?!

How big do brittle starfish (white) get?

By on Saturday, July 31st, 2010 | 1 Comment

I bought some rock the other day, and they were hitchhikers!
I have two brittle starfish and a 10 gallon tank. Right now they are super tiny, about a CM.
Guess they are going to my 55 gallon once i get it up then.
Thanks.
