if you see your clam not open all the way with full mantle in a week then it in the process of dying, such small clam is a bit difficult to keep if you don't have efficient supplement feeding and light, but if you already have clams in your current tank and it doing well there a good chance the small clam will do well! good luck! keep the update!

Look like it going to be ok but keep an eye out for it. It should be fully open and show its colors!

Fire fish tent to jump when spook! I usually keep the top on the tank when I have these guy, check around outside of your tank on the floor for evident. It also like to hind in the small hole of LR and if it scares of other fishes in the tank and won't come out to eat, it might die and quickly been eaten by the cleaning crew! I love saltwater cleaning crew!

Yeh I don't mind getting the copperband but I know it will get mess up in my tank when my other fishes tangs, angles ect.... picking on him

Mling are you sure scats eat aiptasia? I been in the saltwater for a long time. This is the first time I heard Scats eat aiptasia. if indeed it does I want to get one too also have problem with aiptasia in the tank.

Your tank must doing well to have these type sponges, don't kill the sponges! it's good for the tank natural filtration cycle first pic. second pic majano need to get rid of it. it will do more harm than good for your tank!

yup they have good taste Scallop and Jumbo Shrimp

Thanks for the warning, I still have the scar from the big female Maroon clown which I used to have, it bites anything that come close to it territory. I react to it bites and burned arm on the 400w MH bulb that really hurt 2nd degree burn still have the scar to prove it!

If you are using Glass temp heater make sure it not broken or crack which mercury will leak into the water and it will kill everything in the tank slowly. It happened to me many year ago. My 75g tank started having issue everything start to die slowly but I can't find the problem. Fishes stop eating, corals start to bleach, LPS no longer open same with the RBTA's? One day I start tracing everything from top to bottom finally I found the glass heater in the sump was cracked and all the Mercury slowly sipping out. I hope this is not what you going thru! Keep us posted on your problem.

Cool looking pic!

oh 1/2 good news I found the pistol shrimp like you said I was looking for the sand dune tip, found couples sand dunes around this big rock, shine the flash light into the hole there's the pistol shirmp moving the sand back and forth under the rock now I just have to find the yellow watchman goby, hopefully it around. I am a happy camper! thank everyone for the great tips!
