I bought a pair of Jansii pipefish about 3 weeks ago.
Seem to be eating Cyclopeze pretty well.
I've noticed white patches on one of them.
They hide in lace rock all day. Could this be injury to...

Thanks for all the replies.
The only problem I've heard of w/ponies and bristles is that if the ponies nip at the bristles, they can be injured. The bristles crawl into the ponies' dish during...

I've had 2 seahorses in my 60 gal since Feb. and the tank is beginning to mature a bit. I also recently added a Boston Bean.

My LR is full of mini brittles and bristleworms, both of which have...

Very cool! Thanks for sharing the pix.

I'm new to the hobby, but after much research, I bought a Remora and it has been working great for 10 months.

oooo that is a sore point.
I am a maniac when I have a camera in my hands, but this time around I was using my wife's camera and the battery died before I went to the aquarium... and no spare.
The...

I just returned from Boston to find the eggs gone...
Incredible Sea Dragon exhibit at the New England Aquarium. A must see if you go to Boston.

There are some nerites.
I'm not familiar w/snail eggs, but if they have eggs like that, its probably the one in the pic - not sure which type it is.
Thanks.

2 seahorses
1 Striped Mandarin Dragonette
Several types of snails.
Some of the mini sized brittle stars.
Hermits
Bristleworms

An experienced reefer will be watching my tank while I'm gone, so...

Wouldn't you know it. I'm getting ready to leave my tank for a few days and this shows up.
Looks like eggs from the snail, but I guess he might just be eating them. Can someone confirm?
Thanks...

Its been about a year and half since I first posted a couple questions about starting up a SW aquarium. I've had my seahorses for over a month and I want to thank everyone who has given me advice....

I'll get a better Alk kit tomorrow.
I also just rechecked my Nitrate and found it to be 20, which is the highest its been. I don't know how that happened because it was 5 last Sat (3/20) - before a...

Thanks.
The leather is definitely declining.
According to my test strips (I don't have a liq. test) my alk is ~180.
Ca is down to 360, which I know is a bit low
I added some Purple Tech -...

Thanks for all the replies.
The actual surface of the leather looks good. It has bent 90deg twice, so I'm guessing there is a reason.
This morning I moved it under my spraybar, we'll see if there...

I've had it about 2 weeks. My params are good: Ammonia and Nitrites are 0, Nitrates ~5, pH ~8. Water change last Sat. Temp is ~73.5, which someone suggested might be a bit cold.
Maybe it needs...

My Leather Coral/Seahorse Feeding Station slumped over, so I boosted him up w/some epoxy. Now he's slumping in a different direction.
I can continue to boost him up all the way around, but I'm...

Thanks for sharing the great pix.
I've found myself taking pix daily (often several times) since getting seahorses a couple weeks ago. Today I acquired a quick release for my 30 yr old tripod....

Thanks very much for the replies.
I wasn't totally impulsive - I was carrying around color printouts from seahorse.org with "risk factors" for the various corals and I discussed each purchase in...

Hi all:
I'm finally up and running w/a pretty pair of seahorses - I'll post some pix soon.
Yesterday our local Reef group held a frag swap. I attended out of curiosity and quickly found myself...

I read an article or two about the different species and what to look for. While I wasn't positive it was wurdemanni, I have pretty much faith in the LFS where I bought it - and the Aiptasia is...

Just a followup.
I used lemon juice on a few Aiptasia - it took a couple of treatments to do them in. Clearly, the Anthelia on the same rock didn't like the lemon juice either, though none of it...
