Ahhhhhh, that is possible too. Thanks!

I even posted on that thread... Mine looks very similar. I guess mine came in with the cuc.

I've only seen one, but I didn't see it forever. I will keep my fingers crossed s/he has a mate, or maybe I will post something in match.com looking for another. Although good, kinda ugly and strange when they start spitting everywhere.

Exactly. Thank you so much. And best yet my "Jabba" seems to be a good addition.

I have a creature in my tank that looks like a light/ tan colored blob (like a snail or slug, or Jabba the Hut). It will slither to the top of it's rock and seems to spit something up in the water. Oh my... It is strange. I know the first question, can you take picture? I wish I could but cannot seem to ever capture it. I will keep trying, but hope that in the meantime someone might know what I am describing.

Hmmmm, I better stick with fish batting over 500 at this point. Too bad, they are so pretty. What are colorful fish that are reef safe and live in my 95 gallon tank? (Besides Nemo- he moved in last week making my kids so happy!)

I know they nip at corals, but how bad is it? Will they be destroying them, or just an occasional nip here and there?

Thanks.... (big sigh)

And simplistically, is it bad or good?

Talking to yourself... I can relate.

Great! And better yet, the coraline is a great color of red that matches my wall and now I don't need to try to get rid of it (not that I was successful...).

So it is really that easy? Maybe I am making this more than it should be... Thanks for the confirmation!

I have read here on WAMAS, and other places, a way to discern red coraline from cyano. In sum, it seems that cyano should come off the rock easily, while coraline would not. That being said, the color of the growth on my rocks looks more like cyano (deep red, velvet looking) based on pics I have seen, but it is hard like rock. Ideas?

Sorry about your clam! (Making note to read "Giant Clams", by Daniel Knop, as if I need more to read...)

Here is a picture of our emerging tank. We are not so artistic, have no landscaping experience, and do not regularly play with rocks,so doing the aqua-scape was a bit challenging. To maybe make it worse, we really liked the larger pieces of rock. At the end of the day, at least my son appears to like it (and so do we!). I think there are plenty of hiding spots for fish and some spots to "plant" coral. I will consider starting a thread under "dedicated tank thread", as suggested. Reefoholic, as we have 3 young children, we feel obligated to start out a pair of Nemos. All that being said, the blue chromis look great! I like that they will school. We previously had a planted, freshwater tank (now converted, as seen) and always kept a school of fish in there along with many Rainbows. It was awesome, but after our house lost power for a few weeks we lost all our fish and had a great excuse to start over. Keeping our fingers crossed that it works out! As for starfish, are there any that are reef safe? I love them, but heard that they are not so good with reefs and can be destructive with the rocks. We have not glued our rocks in place, but they are pretty stable, or so it seems.

My husband George (RubberFrog) and I just joined this forum. We are excited to have recently converted our fresh water planted tank to a saltwater! We are glad to have found a place rich with nformation to support our endeavour! Currently, I am really just anxious to house something other than a snail or crab! When do I fianlly get a fish??? (I know patience.... not my VIRTUE!!!).
