Crypts are notorious for melting when moved. Even if your tank conditions are perfect, they might still take months to recover. Patience is key. Also, what species of Crypts are they? Some are harder to grow than others.

I'm curious about the growth rate of these cyphastrea corals - are they relatively fast or slow growers compared to other LPS? They remind me of montiporas, but with larger polyps, which got me wondering - do they grow at a similar pace to montis?

I've had great experiences with Acans, they're definitely one of my favorite LPS corals. They're pretty resilient and can bounce back from a rough spot - I've seen them recover from almost nothing. They don't require a lot of light to thrive, although they'll definitely look more vibrant with better ...

I recall using Levamesol pig de-wormer in my reef tank years ago to get rid of flatworms. It's not intended for aquarium use, but I had success with it. You can find info on it in some of the older threads here. The process is pretty straightforward - mix it up, and the flatworms will release their ...

It's been nearly a week and I'm still none the wiser. The little blighter's vanished into thin air. If I finally lay eyes on it now, I'll be bloody fuming.

Is your tank covered, Jawfish are notorious for jumping out.

Just got a pearly jawfish yesterday, but now I'm having trouble finding the little bloke. Did the usual float bag, mixed in some salt, then released him into the tank. Saw him swimming up and down, then he ended up resting in one of the corners - that's the last I saw of him. Next 3/4 ...

No, I meant the Black Percula Clownfish as the black and white one. I was referring to this species in particular: Black Percula Clownfish.

I'm curious about pairing a male perc with a female black and white clown. Would they be compatible, or is it a long shot?

..damsels are a great choice. Loads of colours and types, and super easy to care for. Plus, they look awesome with some ocean rocks to hide amongst - really adds to the visual.

For setup, I'd say ditch the skimmer - not needed for FO. External filter canister is the way to go, adds space and keeps ...
