Bright Red Flame Scallop
Lima scabra
Description: The flame scallop or rough fileclam, Lima scabra, is a marine bivalve mollusc in the family Limidae. Although their name would suggest otherwise, flame scallops have no relation to scallops, besides their exterior. Flame scallops have a rough outer shell with a red mantle. Surrounding the mantle are red and white tentacles. The gills are used for respiration and filtration.The flame scallop's vibrant red color is due to the large amount of carotenoids found within their body. Flame scallops can reach 3 in long. he Flame Scallops only enemy comes from certain shrimp and crabs and if threatened it simply pushes its valves together to propel titself away from the dangerous situation.
Diet: Because flame scallops have no photosynthetic properties, the flame scallops eat only phytoplankton filtered from the ocean water. During the consumption process, flame scallops sift and sort through the phytoplankton with their gills to determine what is appropriate for ingestion. In an aquarium flame scallops require excellent water quality and either frequent water changes for fresh food or the addition of an invertebrate food containing phytoplancton. T
Reef Compatability: Excellent in a fully seasoned reef aquarium.

  Margarita Snails
(Margarites pupillus)

The Margarita Snail is one of the most sought after reef inhabitants.
Description:The Margarita Snail is one of the most sought after home reef inhabitants. This is because they can consume large amounts of algae, including nuisance hair varieties. Plus, unlike some snails, Margarita's are non-venomous and peaceful towards corals, invertebrates, and all tankmates. Also known as the Stomatella Limpet, Little Margarite, and Pearl or Pearly Topped Snail, the Margarita Snail has a brown body and smooth, turban-shaped shell. They stay small growing to a maximum size of only 1" as an adult.
Tank Recommendations: The Margarita Snail does well in a well established home aquarium . Like other invertebrates, the Margarita Snail is sensitive to high nitrate levels and copper-based medications. Also, it should be acclimated to new aquariums using the drip acclimation method.
Food and diet: Keep in mind that the Margarita Snail will starve if algae levels become sparse. Therefore, supplement their diet with dried seaweed. To feed, use an algae clip or wrap the seaweed around a rock or empty shell and place into your aquarium, next to the glass.

 Bumble Bee Snails

They look like black and yellow bumble bee's
A Long Lived Great Cleanup Critter!!!!

Description: The Bumble bee snail is easy to care for and quite hardy. Bumble bee snails are small stunning snails with a striped black and yellow pattern that resembles the pattern of a bumble bee – hence the name. They originate from the Indo-Pacific region, but can also be found in the waters of Florida. Many of the snails in the trade are collected off the Marshall Islands, a Micronesian nation of islands in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Bumble bee snails can sometime grow to be 1 in but usually only grow to half that size.

Bumble bee snails are an ideal addition to the cleaning crew for any tank as they will eat any uneaten food, decaying matter and most algae species. They can due to their small size get into very small cavities in the setup and clean them.

  Sexy Shrimp
Thor amboinensis
Food and diet:The tiny Sexy Shrimp has enjoyed good popularity among marine hobbyists throughout the years. It is called the sexy shrimp due to the way it is constantly twirling its body even when stationary. They are a type of anemone shrimp that are normally found in association with anemones in the wild.
Curiously named Thor Amboinensis despite their size. Very small, they are well suited to nano and even pico aquariums. Like the Fire shrimp and the Cleaner Shrimp, the Sexy shrimp are commonly found throughout the Indo-Pacific where they are collected in large numbers for the trade. They are also relatively cheap as a result, making them very accessible to all saltwater tank enthusiasts.
Tank mate selection is important. Due to their small size, they are easily harrased and consumed by larger fish. Strictly no basslets, groupers or any other large carnivores. They do well with pygmy angels. Although i'd avoid housing them with large angels just incase.
Upon introduction and acclimation, they will seek out an anemone host. If one is not found they will make do with substitutes from a variety of corals. Mushrooms, Green star polyps, clove polyps are good candidates for a substitute host. The sexy shrimp is a social creature that does well in groups. I've personally kept them in groups of 5 with little friction. Though there may be some infighting now and again.
Feeding: Sexy shrimp are omnivores that will eat anything meaty and some greens. They will graze from one end to another end of the tank on microalgae's. But upon introducing a few pellets or a tasty morsel of some sort they head straight for it. Generally any kind of sinking pellet will do

 Astrea Snails

Super Algae Eaters
Description:Astrea Snails make one of the better cleaners available to aquarium hobbyists, as they stay small enough that they do not upset corals or decorations. Of particular use to the home aquarist is this snail's penchant for removing film algae on the aquarium glass. A very active cleaner, it cleans algae and diatoms. If it falls, it is often unable to right itself, and will need the aquarist to place it upright, again. According to Julian Sprung's Reef Aquarium Manual , Volume One, Astrea snails are the ideal snail to be placed in your aquarium as soon as ammonia and nitrite levels reach acceptable levels (less than 1 ppm). One of the best snails for controlling Diatom 's, (light brown/red algae), Green Algae Blooms and Dark Purple/Red Slime algae . Introduced as soon as possible to new aquarium, these snails effectively limit the development of all micro algae. Ref: The Reef Aquarium.

Description: The Turbo Snail is native to the Gulf of California off the coast of Mexico. Very popular among reef aquarium hobbyists. Gram for Gram, Mexican Turbo Grazer's clean more nuisance algae than any other snail. They do a great job on ridding a tank of hair algae and other nuisance algaes off of both the live rock and aquarium glass. These snails are referred to as grazers because of their voracious appetites for several types of micro algae found in the home aquarium. Pure work horses, the Mexican Turbo's radula, or tongue, of the snail has a rasp like texture. When pulled across a surface, this rasp pulls the algae loose for a quick snack. Also known as the Turban or Top Shell Snail, Turbo fluctuosa has a thick turban-shaped shell with an irridescent interior.

 Pom Pom Crab
Lybia tessellata
Description: The Indo-Pacfic native Pom Pom Crab is a comical aquarium addition. This unique crab species carries a small anemone, which look like pom poms, in each claw. There are at least two purposes for carrying the anemones. The first is a simple matter of defense. The Pom Pom will taunt would-be predators by shaking the anemones in hopes of stinging the invader into retreat. It also mops the substrate to gather uneaten food, thus creating a symbiotic relationship between the Pom Pom Crab and its pom poms. The anemone undoubtedly benefits by getting to eat its share of the treasure. Also known as the Boxer Crab, it is a hardy creature that grows to about an inch in length. Because of this small size, it is great for the mini-reef aquarium. This crab is attractively marked, with striped legs and bold markings. The anemones are dropped during molting but are retrieved once this process completes. Curiously, lab studies have shown that a crab that loses one anemone will attempt to split the one it has into two regenerated clones, a method used by humans to propagate larger anemones. They may be kept in groups and females will produce reddish colored egg masses that they carry on their abdomens.
Food and diet: They can be fed algae pellets, or sheets of algae if they can't find enough natural food.

 Banded Trochus Snails

Description: Farm-raised Trochus Snails are a great addition to the cleaning stable. The Trochus Snail is generally identified by its pyramid shaped shell, which is usually a pale tan or gray color with maroon stripes. Trochus Snails are also commonly referred to as the Banded Trochus Snail, Turban Shell, Turban Snail, or Top Shell within the aquarium hobby. The shell is often covered with algae since this species moves very slowly about the reef foraging for food, allowing the strong aquarium lighting to grow algae on the snails shell. Depending on the exact species these snails may have either a black or an off white/tan foot. The Trochus Snail has no distinguishing characteristics to help differentiate male from female as they reproduce by releasing gametes into the water column, which appears as a white milky substance. This is an easy to care for snail species that is excellent for keeping a reef or community fish aquarium clean by eating unwanted algae and diatoms.

Trochus Snails do well in aquariums with ample hiding places and room to forage. Live rock is perfect for this species as it provides algae, cyanobacteria, and diatoms for food and plent of caves and crevices. The Trochus Snail is a desirable tank cleaner because it will consume algae, cyanobacteria, diatoms and also is an effective film algae eater, grazing on other surfaces, such as the sides of the tank. There are no specific lighting or water movement requirements for this species, but it is sensitive to high levels of copper-based medications and will not tolerate high nitrate levels.

The Trochus Snail receives the bulk of its nutrition from foraging on algae and diatoms growing on the substrate, reef or aquarium glass. If insufficient food is present in the aquarium, their diet can be supplemented with dried seaweed or marine algae tablets.

 Halimeda Plant
 
Description: Halimeda sp. thrives much in the same way as Corraline Algae in your fish tank. It incorporates a hard calcium carbonate skeleton within its living tissue. Because of this hard coating, Halimeda has a natural protection from predation. Halimeda grows in many parts of the world. Also known as Money Plant, Halimeda is made of a number of bladed sections that connect end-to-end to form a continuous strand. This low-maintenance plant does not require the pruning maintenance of other Marine Plants and does better when left to grow. It is tolerant of a variety of lighting and water conditions, but does not typically thrive if higher nitrates or phosphates are present. As a calcareous plant, it does grow relatively slowly in comparison to Caulerpa-family plants. Halimeda makes an excellent decorative saltwater aquarium addition.

Macroalgae such as Halimeda, Caulerpa, and other large celled algaes are valuable additions to a saltwater aquarium. Algaes and all photosynthetic creatures serve two important roles in the ecosystem of the oceans and aquariums. Light provides the energy for plants (and zooxanthellae) to convert carbon dioxide into oxygen and sugars, making it a great food source for tangs, angels, and other herbaceous animals. Secondly, macroalgae reduce the available levels of phosphates and nitrites/nitrates, an excellent form of natural filtration.

 Red Algae Plants
Besides adding beauty to any aquarium, marine plants have become quite popular for use as "algae-scrubbing filters" to remove excess ammonia, nitrates, and phosphates from the aquarium.In addition, they help remove heavy metals and neutralize toxins. Marine plants also provide a pH buffer and
produce chemicals which protect the skin, intestines, and gills of aquarium fish. That's an alwful lot of help from marine plants, that's why they are so popular in the marine aquarium system! In addition to helping clarify your water by absorbing nitrates, carbon dioxide and some metals, marine plants also serve as a food source for many marine species – whether they feed directly on the algae itself or on microfauna attracted to the algae.

Saltwater Fern Plant
 
Excellent addition for Water Quality Management
The Saltwater Fern Plant is a marine plant that can be used as a natural method of filtration and means of Natural Nitrate Reduction in the saltwater aquarium. The Fern Plant absorb nutrients from the water in order to grow, and help lower nitrates and phosphates in the aquarium. The use of the Fern Plant for filtration in a saltwater aquarium, particularly for helping to reduce and control nitrates is not a new concept.However, this is changing because more and more aquarists are looking for a "natural" method of filtration for their aquariums, Fern Plants are drawing lots of attention. Fern Plants not only have the ability to absorb nitrates, but phosphates and other organics as well. In fact, they remove organics so well from the water that they act as a replacement for a protein skimmer. When using Fern Plants you will notice your protein skimmer working less and less all the time. The more the Fern Plants grow, the more they absorb the excess organics in your water, and the skimmer has nothing to remove and becomes obsolete. If you are a naturalist and don't want to have to use chemical additives or compounds to reduce and control nitrates in your aquarium, this is a very effective filtration method to consider. Plant the Fern Plant in your substrate in a well-lit location in either your aquarium or in a refugium. This plant will benefit from the regular addition of trace elements.

  Cultured Green Gracillaria
Gracillaria sp

Grown outdoors in open water systems. An air - generated method of tumbling the algae in large vats is employed to culture them. They are not connected to any system containing fish so as to avoid possible parasite contamination. There are multiple uses for macroalgaees in marine aquariums. The most common use is for feeding purposes. Herbivorous fish, such as Tangs, love to eat fresh algae. It contains the natural nutrition to help prevent Head and Lateral Line Erosion (HLLE), a common long-term care problem with Angelfish and Tangs. It is also know to contain Beta-carotine, an immune system stimulator. Another use is in reef tank refugiums and algae scrubbers. Here the algae absorbs excess nutrients, such as nitrates and phosphates, in the tank and produces oxygen. In addition, it helps remove heavy metals and neutralize's toxins. Gracillaria and other macroalgaes also provide a pH buffer and produce chemicals which protect the skin, intestines, and gills of aquarium fish. That's an alwful lot of help!It also helps support numbers of small shrimp and other microfauna providing biodiversity. Finally macroalgaes can be used simply as an ornamental algae in a reef tank to add beauty and diversity to the reef structure. In addition, it helps remove heavy metals and neutralize's toxins. Macroalgae's generally require about 8 hours of light daily to continue to grow well. This can be either flourescent or pc's. Their photosynthesis produces oxygen and will also increase the pH.

Chaetomorpha Sp., Spaghetti Algae

Chaetomorpha Macro Algae, Chaeto, pronounced "kay-toe", is a great way to naturally turn the nitrogenous compounds of your tank into plant food!!! The waste by-products of life, along with the light you provide for photosynthesis, will help this chaeto double in size on a regular basis. The always popular chaeto, works great, and wont go asexual! Chaetomorpha Algae, also known as Spaghetti Algae or Green Hair Algae, is an excellent macro algae for refugiums. Each cell grows end to end, creating long, stiff strands. It grows in filamentous clumps, resembling a ball of fishing line. You can "prune" it and throw it away--or you can compact it for even greater nutrient absorption. If you have a refugium, just throw this clump in there---it's like a Brillo pad--it stays together fairly well. You can also put it into a mesh bag for use in your main tank. There are many different ways you can contain the chaeto in your main tank all the while providing great hiding spots for the tiny "critters" in your tank. This algae is fast growing and is not palatable to many herbivorous species.

Chaetomorpha Algae removes both phosphates and nitrates from the water. To increase the amount of nutrients this algae exports, use moderate to high lighting and keep it in an area of high water flow. It should ideally be tumbled in an algae filter. This algae is sold by the bag and will arrive in a dense mat.

Golden Sea Rod
Pterogorgia citrina

The polyps of the Golden Sea Rod are bright white, and are often expanded during the daytime.
Description:The Golden Sea Rod is common among the reefs of the Caribbean and grows in a vertical, tree-like fashion. The branches are a beautiful golden yellow in appearance and have a bumpy texture when the polyps are not expanded. The polyps of the Golden Sea Rod are bright white, and are often expanded during the daytime. This gorgonian is hardier than many of its counterparts and will add to your reef aquarium’s diversity.
Management:The Golden Sea Rod is peaceful, but it should be given adequate space away from neighboring corals or anemones. Underwater epoxy is commonly used to anchor its base to a piece of live rock in the reef aquarium. This gorgonian is photosynthetic and requires a moderate amount of light depending on the amount of filter feeding food that is available. It also requires a stronger water flow and the addition of iodine, calcium, strontium, and other trace elements to the water. In order to inhibit algae and cyanobacteria growth, it is important that this gorgonian is provided with a medium to strong, constant or intermittent water flow. If in the event that it does begin to become covered with algae or cyanobacteria, remove it from the coral immediately, as this will cause rapid tissue deterioration. Algae can be removed gently with the use of a soft brush; combat cyanobacteria by soaking the coral in freshwater of the same temperature for approximately 1 minute.
Feeding:The Golden Sea Rod should be fed a few times a week with a filter feeding food. Provide a varied diet of live or frozen baby brine shrimp, Marine Snow, PhytoPlan and other suitable micro foods.

Diet & Feeding:Because the Orange Tree Gorgonian is not photosynthetic, its survival is dependent on regular and frequent feedings of brine shrimp, baby brine shrimp, or foods designed for filter feeding invertebrates. It also requires a stronger water flow and the addition of iodine, calcium, strontium, and other trace elements to the water.

Red Sea Whip Gorgonian
Lophogorgia chilensis

Description:The Red Sea Whip is an attractive branching tree-like coral. One of the easiest to propagate the Red Sea Whip needs to just be broken into multiple parts, then by glueing with crazy glue gel to a piece of aquarium rock. Bright red, it grows into small and sparsely branched colonies. Once established in the aquarium polyps will appear during the evening hours.
Management:In order to inhibit algae and bacteria growth, it is important that this gorgonian is provided with a medium to strong, constant or intermittent water flow. If in the event that it does begin to become covered with algae or bacteria, remove it from the coral immediately, as this will cause rapid tissue deterioration. Algae can be removed gently with the use of a soft brush, and cyanobacteria can be combated by soaking the coral in fresh water of the same temperature for approximately 1 minute. These corals will also benefit from the addition of iodine, calcium, strontium, and other trace elements to the water.
Feeding: The Red Sea Whip is non-photsynthetic, which means all of its nourishment comes from feedings of phytoplankton and cyclkopeze. Feed daily for best results.

 Purple Ribbon Gorgonian

Description:The Purple Ribbon Gorgonia is also referred to as Purple Sea Blade, or Purple Sea Whip. This particular gorgonian has rows of polyps that extend down the sides of each blade. Gorgonians regularly shed tissue to remove buildup of sediment and algae from forming on their skeleton. All photosynthetic gorgonians require 4-5 watts per gallon to thrive. Like many corals it also filter feeds, so weekly feeding is recommended for optimal health. We offer single specimens, some mounted on small pieces of live rock that range from 4-6" tall.
Management: It is not necessary to feed this coral but it does have the ability to take in tiny bits of food and will do so from time to time. This coral requires at least VHO or Power Compact intensity lighting in order to do well in the aquarium. Keeping this coral in an area of high water flow is necessary to help prevent algae from forming on its branches, so using a powerhead pointed toward the gorgonian for good water flow is highly recommended. If any algae begins to form on this coral, it must be removed from the branches immediately. This can be accomplished using a small, soft brush, such as a brand new soft bristled toothbrush.

Feeding: It relies on photosynthesis, but its diet should also include regular feedings of micro-plankton, live, baby brine shrimp, or foods designed for filter feeding invertebrates, in order to survive in the reef aquarium.

 Yellow Finger Gorgonian
Diodogorgia nodulifera

Description:The yellow finger gorgonian grows in small and sparsely branched colonies. It is also referyellow to as yellow Finger Rod, or yellow Sea Rod. An attractive branching tree-like coral, it is extremely easy to break off branches to propagate. The yellow Finger Gorgonia is a deep yellow color with flowering white polyps which come out at most times of the day.
Management:The yellow Tree Gorgonian is peaceful, but it should be given adequate space away from neighboring corals or anemones. Underwater epoxy is commonly used to anchor its base to a piece of live rock in the reef aquarium. It is difficult to maintain even in the well-established reef system. It is not photosynthetic and requires a low level of lighting to ward off a build-up of microalgae.
Feeding: Since it is not photosynthetic, its survival is dependent on regular and frequent feedings of micro-plankton, live, baby brine shrimp, or foods designed for filter feeding invertebrates. It also requires a stronger water flow and the addition of iodine, calcium, strontium, and other trace elements to the water.

 Purple Corky Finger
Briareum asbestinum

Description: The Purple Corky Finger is also known as the Deadman's Fingers, Moss Coral, Encrusting Gorgonian, or simply Briareum. It has long, grass-like polyps which are normally extended continuously, retracted only when disturbed. Briareum asbestinum can have multiple forms including encrusting, flat or knobby crusts, or upright branches as pictured above. The polyps will vary in many color variations, size, and shape. The Purple Corky Finger is peaceful, but it should be given adequate space away from neighboring corals or anemones. Underwater epoxy is commonly used to anchor its base to a piece of live rock in the reef aquarium.
Management:A fast growing coral, care should be taken in allowing ample room for expansion and any interference from other neighboring corals. It is moderately easy to maintain and propagate when encrusted to substrate rubble. It requires medium to high lighting combined with medium to strong water movement. In order to inhibit algae and cyanobacteria growth, it is important that this gorgonian is provided with a medium to strong, constant or intermittent water flow. If in the event that it does begin to become covered with algae or cyanobacteria, remove it from the coral immediately, as this will cause rapid tissue deterioration. Algae can be removed gently with the use of a soft brush; combat cyanobacteria by soaking the coral in fresh water of the same temperature for approximately 1 minute. These corals will also benefit from the addition of iodine, calcium, strontium, and other trace elements to the water.
Feeding: For continued good health, it will require the addition of iodine, calcium, strontium, and other trace elements to the water. Some species of Briareum are toxic. It is highly photosynthetic, containing the symbiotic algae zooxanthellae from which it receives most of its nutrients, but may also capture some particulate matter.

Refugium Algae Kit

Refugium with all types of algaes

Today, marine aquariums almost demand a variety of marine algae. You get all the macro you need here to start a nice refugium. Get 3 different types of Macro algaes that are all beneficial to your aquarium.

Gracilaria, This is healthy stuff for your fish, it even helps cure lateral line erosion and is also the richest plant source of calcium.

Caulerpa,an important food source for many fish. Caulerpa releases organic acids and necessary substances such as vitamins and amino acids.

Chaetomorpha Chaeto, pronounced "kay-toe", also known as Spaghetti Algae, is a great way to naturally turn the nitrogenous compounds of your tank into plant food!!! The waste by-products of life, along with the light you provide for photosynthesis. It is an excellent macro algae for refugiums. Each cell grows end to end, creating long, stiff strands. It grows in filamentous clumps, resembling a ball of fishing line. You can "prune" it and throw it away--or you can compact it for even greater nutrient absorption.Chaetomorpha Algae removes both phosphates and nitrates from the water. To increase the amount of nutrients this algae exports, use moderate to high lighting and keep it in an area of high water flow. It should ideally be tumbled in an algae filter. This algae is sold by the bag and will arrive in a dense mat. Your copepods and amphipods will love this stuff. It is what they eat!

A small bag of live sand containing copepods, amphipods as well as beneficial worms. The amount is small , just enough to jump start your refugium.

NOTE: Sometimes a macro algae may be unavailable, so a different beneficial macro algae will be substituted in the Macro Algae Kit.

Large Pink & Red Hard Tube Coco Worms
Protula bispiralis

A great addition to any reef tank.
Does well in any lighting or water flow.

Reef Compatability: These hard tube coco worms secretes a calcareous tube approximately ½ inch in diameter and 5”-8” long. The tubes come bent in all sorts of shapes. All Coco Worms require proper calcium levels of 400-450 ppm in order to grow their tubes.

Coco worms use their radioles, or crowns, to filter bacteria and particulate matter from the water. When disturbed the Coco Worm can retract quickly into its tube and close its operculum to shut the top of its tube for safety.

When placing Coco Worms in the aquarium you may bury them in the sand with the crown end of the tube protruding from the sand, or stick them in a hole in the rocks with the crown end facing outward. If they are retracted and you don’t know which end is which lay them on the sand bed until they open and then place them into position.

Although Coco Worms subsist mainly on bacteria and organic matter produced within the aquarium they will benefit from supplemental feedings of marine snow, phytoplankton, and/or foods for filter feeders.

  Bright Orange
Cluster Feather Dusters
Bispira brunnea

A colorful mass of tiny feather dusters.
Description:A beautiful addition to any reef tank. Very hardy (no need to worry about keeping these), may be kept under virtually any light conditions.They grow as a mass of individual small tubeworms, sometimes totaling over 100 in a single clump. Their parchment-like tubes will adhere to bits of rock. This helps to anchor the clump, which will usually be found in a shaded area of the reef. In the reef aquarium, they will require space under an overhanging rock or coral, with a gentle current delivering their planktonic meals. Since they need plankton in their diet, they will do best in a mature reef aquarium. Their combined mass of colorful radioles will filter out the available floating plankton, but can also be withdrawn into the parchment tubes if alarmed, and they are easily alarmed. If they become continually frightened or subjected to poor water quality, they may discard their radioles (fan tentacles). They will be re-grown only under proper conditions. Their mass of tubes are somewhat delicate, so care should be taken while transporting them. They should not be housed with predatory fish, serpent stars, urchins or any other invertebrate that may break them apart.
Diet: supplemental feeding of phytoplankton and liquid organic foods should be provided.

Aquacultured Tiger Sand Conch
Strombus sp.

Totally peaceful toward other tank mates.
Great for Cleaning Sand, even Red Slime algae)!
Description: Aquacultured in the USA, these Conch's are great for keeping your sandbed algae free. Mostly nocturnal, the Atlantic Conch uses it's 'trunk' like a vacuum to remove algae from the live sand bed. The Aquacultured Tiger Sand Conch is a hardy member of the Strombidae family. Despite their name, they are peaceful toward other tank mates. They are excellent sand sifters, and are very beneficial in the reef aquarium. As they burrow and dig through the aquarium substrate, they clean and aerate the bottom.
Terrific for Cleaning Tanks with that ugly red or brown slime algae often seen. A hardy algae eaters , one of the few that will rid a tank of slime algae, they also love the brown diatoms found on the surface of live sand beds. They will stir and clean upper layers of the sand bed. One of the best reef tank detritivores. As they burrow and dig through the aquarium substrate they clean and aerate the bottom. Tiger Sand Conch will do an excellent job of cleaning the live sand in your reef tank, where you don't have to sift it around ever! It'll go to sleep at night, but once the lights come on it goes back to cleaning in no time and will go on for the rest of the day with no breaks. Watching it clean with what looks like an anteater type snout is very entertaining as they move it everywhere to feed. It will always stay on the bottom of your tank, won't bother any invertebrates or corals whatsoever. Once you add these to your tank, you won't ever regret it because they make a unique and different addition. I highly recommend these for their usefulness.
Recommended minimum tank size: 1 gallon or larger They do best when kept in a live sand bed.
Food and diet: They can be fed algae pellets, if they can't find enough natural food. 1 Conch per 25 gallons of water.

 Harlequin Shrimp
Hymenocera elegans

Have a problem witht the tiny white starfish (Asterina), in your reef?
This shrimp will cure your problem.
Description:This truly is one of the most stunning and beautiful Shrimps to be found. With good water quality, a peaceful environment and the proper food, you should have no trouble in maintaining this species for a good many years. The body is of a pinkish-white or white color, splashed with large purple-edged pink spots, and sometimes reddish or light orangish toned looking spots. This shrimp remains very small, only reaching an average length of 1 to 2 inches. Like with all invertebrates, this shrimp is sensitive to copper and high nitrate levels.
Care: As with any marine species, water quality plays an important role in ensuring they remain healthy. Being an invertebrate, shrimp do not tolerate anything less than perfect reef grade water. If you can provide consistent water quality, you should have no trouble at all in being able to keep your Harlequin shrimp healthy and free of problems.
If you must use a synthetic salt mix, prepare the water at least two days in advance of it being needed to allow it to age and become properly mixed and aerated. Prior to use,ensure the new waters pH, salinity and temperature match the water the shrimp are in. They are easily affected by sudden changes and any water changes done with synthetic mixes should be gradual, doing no more than ten to twenty percent at a time, allowing a day between changes. Again, we must stress the importance of water quality and not shocking the shrimp with rapid synthetic water changes. These factors alone account for many shrimp deaths.
Being a timid species, it is also vital to ensure their aquarium is safe from predators or other animals that may harass them. Even a fast moving fish passing by can cause these shrimp stress and they may go into hiding and be unable to properly eat. For breeding purposes, a tank dedicated to a single mated pair is a must. As pets, taking the simple precautions of having pump inlets protected and any possible predators removed will make keeping this species a simple matter.

Food and diet:Pieces of Starfish are the food nescessary to keep Harlequin shrimp. We recommend the Chocolate Chip Starfish, since you can cut off the arms without killing the starfish. The Chocolate chip starfish is easy to maintain and feed upon readily obtained seafood meats such as clams and oysters. Such a steady, meaty diet will ensure that the starfish can regrow its lost limb(s) much faster than other starfish groups.

  Horseshoe Crabs

Sand Stirer , Detritus Eater
Description:The Horseshoe Crab is very strange in appearance and can be unique captives for an aquarium. Very hardy , they can be a good choice for beginners. Horseshoe Crabs are bottom dwellers, and in the wild usually burrow in mud or sand flats in tidal areas or estuaries. The Horseshoe Crab is greenish brown to light tan in color. The dorsal part of the body is rounded, and it has a long spike for a tail. The Horseshoe Crab is really not a crab, but more closely related to spiders and mites, belonging to a group of animals called chelicerates. Horseshoe Crabs can grow quite large. The female horseshoe crabs usually grow larger than the males, with their body reaching a maximum size of 12 inches in diameter. When small, they are very efficient scavengers and are great for aerating and maintaining sand beds. In the aquarium, your Horseshoe Crab will not grow that large, and will generally do best in a sandy substrate. They are very helpful in cleaning an aquarium through sifting through sand and gravel in search of worms and any organic debris. It will move the substrate around almost nonstop in its search for food. The Horseshoe Crab will move about, scavengiong detritus or other materials that have fallen to the bottom. Although it may find some food scavenging, its diet should be supplemented with meaty items such as pieces of squid and shrimp.

Red Pistol Shrimp
(Alpheus sp.)
Food and diet:The Pistol shrimp gets its name from the snapping sound they can make by quickly opening or closing their specially adapted claw that looks like a pistol or cannon. This is used as a defense mechanism to frighten off would-be predators and, unlike the Mantis Shrimp they are sometimes confused with, they are harmless to alltankmates.
Diet & Food: Red Pistol Shrimp accept any meaty freeze-dried and frozen foods and bottom feeder tablets.
Snapping shrimp are scavengers/carnivores. They can be target-fed with small meaty foods occassionally but they will also feed on leftover food in the aquarium. They can be kept with most fish that will not prey on them. Watchman or Shrimp gobies form symbiotic relationships with the pistol shrimp. This is why some people call this shrimp the Symbiosis Shrimp. The Red Pistol Shrimp will prepare a den and mutually occupy it with the watchman or shrimp goby. They will share food and maintenance duties, and share in the protection of the burrow. The interactions of this relationship is tremendously entertaining, and enjoyable in any reef aquarium.

 Scarlet Skunk Cleaner Shrimp
Lysmata amboinensis
Description:The skunk cleaner shrimp is an extraordinarily versatile little shrimp that is perfect for most reef tanks, and also for many fish-only tanks without fish that pose a predatory risk to crustaceans. They are omnivorous scavengers, eating almost anything, but are most-well known for their symbiotic relationship with many fish. When a fish comes down with Ich or other types of skin problems, the fish will swim up next to the shrimp and patiently tread water while waiting for the shrimp to clean its body of parasites. For the shrimp's part, it is usually quite diligent and will pick dead skin and necrotic material off the fish, keeping it disease free. This is a fascinating behavior to watch, not to mention practical in a reef tank where Ich outbreaks can threaten fish, but most Ich medications will kill off corals. The cleaner shrimps will be less shy if kept in 2-3 member groups; they will establish their own "cleaner stations" on live rock and fish will know where to seek them when they require their services. Skunk Cleaner Shrimp are very sensitive to quickly changing water conditions, so keep water quality high. Healthy shrimp will molt on a regular basis, another fascinating thing to watch.

   Blue Linkia Starfish
Linckia laevigata

Description:The Blue Linckia, is a five-armed (once in a while 6-armed) Starfish. These Stars feed on algae found on aquarium glass, rockwork, and substrate. They are completely reef safe and are a must have for anyone with either a fish-only or reef tank.
Diet:If introduced to a large well established aquarium, very little needs to be done to supplement Linckias. The bacterial film that comprises the mainstay of the Linckias diet usually appears in abundance in well established and seasoned aquariums.
Notes: Starfish are intolerant of sudden changes in oxygen levels, salinity and pH of the water, and cannot tolerate copper-based medications. Extra care and time should be taken whenever acclimating this animal.The drip acclimation method is highly recommended for all Sea Stars due to their intolerability to changes in water chemistry. Linckia Starfish must never receive exposure to air during acclimation.

Sand Cleaning Sea Star

This peaceful omnivore will effectively clean even the
largest home aquarium of detritus and left over food.
Description: The Sand Sifting Sea Star efficiently consumes mass amounts of detritus and uneaten food. A great addition to any reef tank, this nocturnally active sea star will move large amounts of sand as it burrows into the substrate in its search for food. Since it is slower moving than most fish, the Sand Sifting Sea Star should not be housed with natural predators, including Puffers. Like other invertebrates, the Sand Sifting Sea Star is very intolerant of sudden changes in oxygen levels, salinity, and pH and cannot tolerate copper-based medications. To successfully acclimate new specimens to your aquarium, use the drip acclimation method and never expose the Sand Sifting Sea Star to air while handling.
Diet and Feeding:The Sand Sifting Sea Star should be actively fed a variety of fish foods into the sand. Otherwise, this voracious feeder will quickly clean your aquarium of detritus and left over food, and then starve, and eventually begin to decay.
Notes: Starfish are intolerant of sudden changes in oxygen levels, salinity and pH of the water, and cannot tolerate copper-based medications. Extra care and time should be taken whenever acclimating this animal.The drip acclimation method is highly recommended for all Sea Stars due to their intolerability to changes in water chemistry.

Berghia Nudibranch

This is the Aptasia Eating Nudibranch
Description:Berghia Nudibranch's are a Orange when they have eaten lately. They pick up the color from the aptasia. They turn white when they have not eaten for 5 to 7 days and need to eat. Berghia Nudibranches grow to around 1-1/2 to 2 inches at full length and should be kept in an aquarium of at least 10 gallons in size to provide plenty of swimming and living room for these sea slugs. Berghia Nudibranches are peaceful members of the aquarium and should not be kept with more aggressive species that may attack and harm it. Place this Nudibranch with other peaceful aquarium mates for best results.
How Many Berghia do I need The rule of thumb is 1 Berghia per 10 gallons. Therefore, we recommend at least 10 Berghia per 100 gallons of water for a moderate to heavy aiptasia problem (50-100 aiptasia per 100 gallons). Getting the right number is important. You want to have enough Berghia in your tank so they can find each other to mate and lay eggs. The eggs may hatch and continue to populate the tank until the aiptasia are gone. Very heavy aiptasia outbreaks may require even more berghia.
Food and diet:Berghia nudibranchs eat ONLY aiptasia anemones.
Reef Compatibility:Very good
Approximate Purchase Size: 3/4" to 1"
Note: Berghia Nudibranches can be a bit difficult to care for and should only be kept by the experienced aquarium owner. Once placed in a reef tank, the hobbyist is unlikely to see the berghia again. A dwindling aiptasia population should be witnessed however.
This item does not carry our livestock guarantee. This is a Restricted item since it may be killed by getting sucked into pumps or powerheads. Therefore it does have an arrive alive guarantee, but is not covered by our extended Guarantee. We recommend sponge or screen covers be placed on dangers to avoid nudibranchs from being sucked in.It is also sensitive to high levels of nitrate and will not tolerate copper-based medications.

 Emerald Crabs
(Mithrax Sculptus)

Excellent Algae Eater
including troublesome Bubble Algae!
Description:Green Emerald Crabs are reef-safe algae eaters and an excellent addition to your cleaner crew. They are one of the few inverts that will eat nuisance bubble algae which makes them very popular among reef keepers. It will also feed on uneaten meaty foods and many of the types of nuisance algae found in reef aquariums. Its distinct, flat shiny green body and hairy legs easily identify the Emerald Mithrax Crab. They have dull tipped claws that they use to pick various types of algae from the rockwork. Native to the reefs of the Caribbean, the Emerald Mithrax Crab is nocturnal and hide in caves and amongst rock and coral during the day. In the home aquarium, it requires a well-established aquarium with plenty of rockwork and hiding places. Diet Care needs to be taken to ensure an ample supply of food is available for the Emerald Mithrax Crab. Many supplement their diet with dried seaweed and chopped meaty foods, such as shrimp, and/or a quality pellet fish food. Like other invertebrates, the Emerald Mithrax does not tolerate copper-based medications or fluctuating water parameters.

 Peppermint Shrimp
Lysmata wurdemanni complex

Do you have pesky aptasia anenome's taking over your tank?
Description: The Peppermint Shrimp is a smart addition to all reef aquariums because of its desire to eat nuisance glass anemones (Aiptasia). The body of the Peppermint shrimp is somewhat transparent with red stripes that run parallel along their body. Peppermint Shrimp are very easy to care for and prefer to be kept in groups. They should be fed daily and will not harm other shrimp. Peppermint Shrimp grow quickly and will molt. Leftover bodies are not dead shrimp, you are seeing the exoskeleton remains of what was shed, when the molt. In order for Shrimp to grow they need to shed their exoskeleton, a process called "molting", which allows them to remove their restricting shell and begin a new one. Often times in the home aquarium Shrimp will leave this translucent shell in full view so it can serve as a distraction while the Shrimp finds a hiding place and allows its new shell to harden.

   Purple Tipped Sebae Anemone
Heteractis crispa
Description: The scientific name for Purple Tipped Sebae Anemone is Heteractis Crispa. Other common names include Sebae Anemone, Leather Anemone, and Radianthus Keukenthali. The Sebae Anemone shares a symbiotic relationship with a variety of clownfish such as, Clark’s, Bluestripe, Cinnamon, Oman, Orange Skunk, Pink Skunk, Percula, True Percula, Saddleback, Red Saddleback, White-band, Two-band, Three-band, Tomato, Barrier Reef White Bonnet, Maroon, Gold Band Maroon, Yellow Stripe Maroon, Sebae and Clarkii to name some. In fact, Heteractis crispa can host nearly any type of clownfish.

The Sebae's tentacles usually have magenta colored tips although yellowish-green tips are also found. The oral disk may also have a green sheen under actinic light.

LIghting: The Sebae anemone requires a high lighting intensity in the marine tank it inhabits. A recommendation of 250 watt to 400 watt halide lighting or equivalent is nescessary for the heath of the Heteractis crispa.

Habitat: The Sebae Anemone may move around in your aquarium till it finds a suitable place to settle down on sand or on a rock. It requires good water quality and the addition of iodine to the water as a dietary supplement.

Feeding: The Sebae Anemone derives its nutrition mainly through photosynthesis which is performed by zooxanthellae, an acellular photosynthetic alga living symbiotically within the Anemone. Heteractis crispa is Carnivorous in feeding habit and filter feeds a few times per week, when open. It eats Mysis Shrimp, the meaty tidbits of shrimp and silversides, fish, krill, mussels, zooplankton and phytoplankton.

  Flourescent Green
Bulb Anemone's from Bali
Entacmaea quadricolor
Description:These Flourescent Green Bubble Anemones are from Singapore and are Flourescent green in color. The Bulb Anemone is one of the most beautiful ornamental anemones for the home reef. When housed beneath intense aquarium lighting, Entacmaea quadricolor develops a unique bulb tip at the end of its tentacles. When hungry, this member of the Actiniidae family will stretch its sweeper tentacles to grab food from the water column. After feeding, the tentacles then shorten again.
Requirements: In the home aquarium, the Bulb Anemone requires similar habitat and positioned amongst deeply creviced live rock or branchy corals placed in sandy substrate. Most Bulb Anemones prefer to find their own place to settle and may move about your aquarium until a suitable location is found. the Bulb Anemone requires strong lighting in aquariums of at least 30 gallons. Under ideal conditions, it can grow up to 1-ft in diameter. However, most typically remain compact in size when kept under bright lighting. If the lighting is insufficient, the Bulb Anemone will expand its body to make the most of the available light.

 Indonesia Rose Bulb Anemones
Entacmaea quadricolor sp.
Description:Highly in demand and often hard to find, the Rose Bulb Anemone is the less seen color variation of the Bubble Tip Anemone. When housed beneath bright aquarium lighting, the Rose Bulb Anemone develops a unique bulb tip at the end of its tentacles, hence the name Bulb Anemone. When hungry, this member of the Actiniidae family will stretch its sweeper tentacles to grab food from the water column. After feeding, the tentacles then shorten again
Requirements: In order for the Rose Bulb Anemone to stay beautiful, intense lighting is required. This means either halide lighting, or a large bank of T5's or older VHO's would do a great job. In the home aquarium, the Rose Bulb Anemone requires similar habitat and positioned amongst deeply creviced live rock or branchy corals placed in sandy substrate. Most Bulb Anemones prefer to find their own place to settle and may move about your aquarium until a suitable location is found. Under ideal conditions, it can grow up to 1-ft in diameter. However, most typically max out at about 8 to 10 inches in the home aquarium under high intensity lighting and proper keeping.

   Ultra Maxi Mini Carpet Anemone
Stichodactyla tapetum

Perfect for Nano Reef Aquariums
Description:These are not died colors. This photo has not been touched up. Maxi Mini Carpet Anemone's are also called Pizza Anemone's. They are exceptionally hardy, easy to keep , and extremely simple to clone by cutting. Maxi mini carpets come from Vietnam. They came into the U.S. market about 5 years ago and only recently have the really nice colors been coming in. Unlike the mini carpet anemones, these maxi anemones come in a rainbow of colors and grow up to 5 inches.

The maxi mini anemone is very easy to keep and acclimates within minutes when you introduce it into your tank. It prefers to live in rock and will move quickly to your rock work if you place it on a sand bed. A good suggestion is to have a few pieces of rubble rock around to place the anemones in so they won't move around too much. Once they are settled in to their spot with good light and decent flow, they will usually stay in one place. Most people keep their anemones under T5's, lower down in a tank with MH's, or under LED lighting. To see all the beautiful colors in Maxi Mini Carpet Anemones actinic / blue lighting is required to get the beauties to fluoresce under.

Maxi mini carpets have a week sting compared to other anemones and other corals. They are not aggressive and you don't have to worry about them digesting your corals during the night, like some other corals would do. I would not advise putting them next to other types of anemones as the maxi minis will probably be damaged. You can keep several maxi mini carpet anemones together in a tank. Since they come in a variety of striking colors, a maxi mini tank is quite beautiful.
Diet Though mostly photosynthetic, supplemental feedings of raw table shrimp, clam, mussel, silversides, squid and other marine based meats can be fed every few days. Pieces should be cut roughly to the size of the anemones mouth. Note: if we run out of one variety we sill substitute another of the three Ultra varieties.

Pink Tipped Haitian Reef Anemone
Condylactis sp.
Description:The Pink-Tipped Haitian Reef Anemone is collected from the Western Atlantic Ocean in lagoons or on inner reefs, as individuals, or loose groups. The Pink-Tipped Haitian Reef Anemone is one of the most familiar and popular anemones in the aquarium trade. Its beautiful colors and inexpensive price make it popular, especially for beginners. In the aquarium a base size of about 3" to 4" is common. The base color is usually pearly white and the tentacles usually have magenta or pink tips on its long tapering tentacles. The tentacles may occasionally develop a bubble-like appearance to them. It prefers to bury its base in the sand or into the crevice of a rock for protection.

The Pink-Tipped Hatian Reef Anemone is a hardy aquarium anemones, but this sea anemone species still needs good lighting to do well in the aquarium. Like all sea anemones they are photosynthetic and need light to keep the zooxanthelle that lives within their body tissue alive. We recommend either power compact or T5 flourescent lighting.
The typical reef environment is what is needed for any of the many variations of Condylactis Anemone. They need live rock or some other solid material they can attach to. Be sure to have all of your pumps covered, most good quality pumps have guards on them and are worth the investment. Because this anemone will move about, you will want to provide foam filters over any power head intakes.
Diet/Feeding: The Pink-Tipped Hatian Reef Anemone is a carnivore. Feed it chopped silversides, shrimp, krill, and mussels, fresh chopped fish (from your grocery store), as well as frozen carnivore preparations. Feed once a week or less. Since this is a cooler water anemone, their metabolism would be much slower than the more tropical sea anemones.

Blue Carpet Anemone's
Stichodactyla haddoni

This is the natural color of these carpet anemone's!
Description:These are not died colors. This photo has not been touched up. This colorful Anemone is also referred to as Haddon’s Anemone, Saddle Anemone, Saddle Carpet Anemone, or Saddleback Anemone. Haddon's Carpet Anemone have short, blunt tentacles with a very potent sting, and can be distinguished from their close relatives Stichodactyla gigantea and Stichodactyla mertensii by the lack of any coloration, spots or markings on the underside of the anemone and down its column. This anemone serves as a "host" for many types of Clownfish in the wild including: Amphiprion clarkii, A. sebae, A. akindynos, A. chrysogaster, A. chrysopterus, and A. polymnus. In the home aquarium, they can also serve as host for Amphiprion ocellaris, A. percula, and A. allardi.
Requirements: The Haddon's Carpet Anemone requires a tank with strong lighting and good water movement. The aquarium should have a variety of sandy and rocky locations as this animal oftentimes can move about and seek refuge in a place it prefers. This species of Carpet Anemone prefers to bury its foot into the sandy bottom, and will oftentimes attach itself to the bottom of the aquarium glass, where its column is completely buried in the sand for protection. When first introducing this anemone into the display, it is best to try and dig out an area of the sand bed where you prefer it will reside, while decreasing the flow rate during this time so that its not blown around the display. Doing so will allow the anemone time to settle in and bury its foot completely into the sand bed. Once in place, carefully move some sandy substrate around the column and increase the flow rate back to the normal output.
Care: Although one of the easiest “Carpet Anemones” to care for this animal is still challenging, and is best left to the seasoned veteran aquarists. For proper care, a fully established aquarium, with perfect water chemistry, adequate flow and strong illumination, along with weekly or even daily feeding is needed. Ideal foods consist of chunks of fresh fish, uncooked shrimp, and other meaty marine foods.

Care Level:This is an advanced aquarist item, any questions please call

  Electric Flame Scallop
Description: The Electric Flame Scallop is a sub-species of the Flame Scallop. It has the same bright red mantle as the flame scallop, but it also has a strip of bio-luminescent tissue on its mantle that sends a flash of color back and forth over the mantle. This bio-luminescent tissue is bright enough to be seen at night and is what gives the scallop its name.
Diet:Because flame scallops have no photosynthetic properties, the flame scallops eat only phytoplankton filtered from the ocean water. During the consumption process, flame scallops sift and sort through the phytoplankton with their gills to determine what is appropriate for ingestion. In an aquarium flame scallops require excellent water quality and either frequent water changes for fresh food or the addition of an invertebrate food containing phytoplancton. T
Reef Compatability: Excellent in a fully seasoned reef aquarium.

Ocellaris Clownfish
Amphiprion ocellaris

Identification:The ORA Tank Raised Ocellaris, or False Percula Clownfish is the most popular clownfish species in the marine aquarium hobby. It is called the False Percula because it is closely related to, and easily confused with, the Percula Clownfish (A. percula). These classic fish have brightly colored orange bodies with white stripes and thin black outlines.Ocellaris were one of the first marine aquarium fish to be successfully bred in captivity. Early success with their captive propagation helped lead the way in the development of the commercial marine ornamental aquaculture industry. In nature, A. ocellaris occurs in a wide range of the Indo-Pacific region including: Australia, the East Indies, Melanesia, the Philippines, and the Ryukyu Islands.

Ocellaris are one of the least aggressive members of the clownfish family, and usually tolerate other members of the same species in their tank. Friendly Ocellaris are easy to maintain in aquariums, they adapt well, and will accept a wide variety of aquarium foods.

Chrysiptera taupou
 
Description: The Fiji Devil is also called the Fiji Blue Devil. It is found in tropical parts of the Western Pacific, from the Coral Sea to the Great Barrier Reef, New Caledonia, the Loyalty Islands, Vanuatu, Fiji and Samoa. The Fiji Devil lives in lagoons and offshore coral reefs.The Fiji Blue Devil is a hardy species that can be recommended to novice marine aquarists, but just like most other damsels it will become increasingly aggressive as it gets older.
Recommendations: The aquarium should contain plenty of hiding spots as well as open water for swimming. This is a very active species that will spend a lot of time rapidly dashing back and forth out in the open. Ideally use rocks and/or coral to create nooks, crannies and similar. If you wish to keep more than one Fiji Blue Devil in the aquarium, clever decoration becomes even more important.
Minimum Tank Size: 30 gallon
Feeding and diet: The Fiji Devil is believed to feed chiefly on zooplankton and phytoplankton in the wild, but more research is needed to determine its exact diet. In the aquarium, it will readily accept a long row of food, including dry food. You can for instance use high-quality flakes as a base and supplement with meaty food and green food. It is important to keep the diet varied. Feed your fish several times throughout the day instead of just one or two big meals.

Orchid Dottyback
Pseudomchromis Fridmani

Description: Held in high esteem by many reef-tank keepers for it's almost fluorescent violet coloration, lack of shyness, elegant swimming style, and a "minding my own business" attitude. The Orchid Dottyback, sometimes called King Solomon's fish, is found only in the Red Sea. It is found in colonies near vertical walls or ledges, where they dart out to grab a meal from the passing zooplankton, then rush back. In the sea they are found at moderate to deep depths, and look blue rather than the magenta or violet color most aquarists are used to. This is due to the filtering of red light by sea water. In aquariums, the Orchid dottyback is quite easy to keep and feed. These individuals are captive-raised and will spawn in the home aquarium given the right conditions.
Recommended minimum tank size: 20 gallon or larger
Food and diet:They are small plankton feeders so foods such as brine shrimp, krill and mysid shrimp are perfect. Feed Daily.

    Queen Angelfish
Holocanthus ciliaris

Description: The queen angelfish (Holacanthus ciliaris) is an angelfish commonly found near reefs in the warmer sections of the western Atlantic Ocean. Queen angelfish get their royal title from the speckled, blue-ringed black spot on their heads that resembles a crown.

Decked out with electric blue bodies, blazing yellow tails, and light purple and orange highlights, Queen angels are among the most strikingly colorful of all reef fishes. Their adornments seem shockingly conspicuous, but they blend well when hiding amid the exotic reef colors.

They are shy fish, found either alone or often in pairs in the warm waters of the Caribbean and western Atlantic. Fairly large for reef-dwellers, they can grow up to 18 inches (45 centimeters) in length. They have rounded heads and small beak-like mouths, and, like other angelfish, their long upper and lower fins stream dramatically behind them.

   Blue Mandarins
Pterosynchiropus splendidus

Description:   The Blue Mandarin also called the Green Mandarin , Green Mandarin Dragonet , or Psychedelic Mandarin fish can simply not be confused with any other fish. It has arguably the most attractive coloration and pattern of any commonly kept reef fish. Though this animal is commonly referred to as a goby, this name is misleading. The Yellow Target Mandarin is a Dragonet in the family Callionymidae. The scale-less body of the fish is a blue or green color which has orange wavy lines across it. The tail is bright red with blue edging. Other colors can be found in the pattern as well.

Mandarins will also help to prevent brown flatworm infestations, which can be trouble for some reef aquariums. The Mandarinfish will hover and scoot around your reef aquarium without bothering any corals, clams, or invertebrates. It is best kept with other docile fishes in a community reef aquarium.

The Mandarin requires an established reef aquarium with plenty of live copepods to feed on. You can supplement its diet with live copepods from AlgaGen called Tisbe Copepods. Adding a refugium to your system will once established, provide an excellent source of live food.
Recommended Tank size: The minimum tank requirement is generally stated as 10 gallon with 50lbs or more of live rock. This is based on feeding requirements and not space requirements as the Mandarin is a very slow, docile fish. Perhaps more important than tank size is how heavily fed and nutrient rich a tank is, since this type of tank will generally support a higher copepod population than tanks run under more lean conditions. .

They will spend much of their time swimming about the aquarium darting in and out of rocky caves and crevices looking for small food items on which to prey. Their active swimming style makes them almost as popular with marine aquarium hobbyists as their vibrant coloration. Six Line Wrasse are considered a "reef safe" Wrasse species, that is unlikely to bother most corals. They will generally spend their time hunting for small micro faunae, small crustaceans, flatworms or bristle worms. It is their propensity for eating bristle worms that has made them a sought after species for may aquarists who are trying to keep bristle worm populations in check.
Recommended It is best to keep this species with plenty of live rock and horizontal swimming room, so that they can patrol a suitable territory and limit aggression towards others. The Six Line Wrasse also benefits from the presence of a refugium, as a strong population of copepods, amphipods and other micro faunae will provide them an excellent food source and curb aggression.
Food and diet: Six Line Wrasse are very active feeders that will generally spend the majority of the day cruising up and down the reef looking for food items on which to feed. In an aquarium with a sufficient population of micro faunae, the Six Line Wrasse will need only supplemental feedings of various meaty foods. Their overall diet should consist of a variety of meaty items including: vitamin enriched meaty frozen preparations, brine shrimp, mysis shrimp or flake or pellet foods formulated for carnivores.
Reef Compatability: Reef Compatability: Excellent Reef fish. It will aid the reef aquarist in controlling pyramidellid snails and commensal flatworms.

Nano Tank Mushroom Package

Perfect For Beginner Reef Tanks!

Now (4) of our best Sellers at (1) Incredible Price!

Description: Mushroom corals, are very hardy corals, and one of the best for the beginner reef aquarium. Among one of the best beginner corals, they can even be maintained in aquariums with just sand substrate, live rock, and an airstone for water movement and oxygenation. This is because they will tolerate high levels of nitrate and other organic compounds. They will do even better, and their colors will brighten in an aquarium with low levels of organic compounds. Most mushroom coral prefer indirect light or shade so the VHO fluorescent or metal halide lighting is not required.
Tech Notes on Mushroom Corals: The symbiotic algae zooxanthellae hosted within the mushroom coral provides the majority of its nutritional requirements from the light driven process of photosynthesis. Mushroom corals will also benefit from regular feedings of zooplankton and small meaty items. Place the mushroom coral low in the aquarium until it opens fully, and then gradually over a few weeks, move the coral to the desired location. To open large, mushroom corals prefer low water movement within the aquarium.

  Red Sun Coral Frags
( Orange Tubastrea / Red Sun Polyps)


Does well in low light conditions such as flourescent lighting or down low in a tank.
Description: Orange Tubastrea is one of the most photographed corals in the world. This is not without reason. The brilliant orange coral issues forth lovely yellow orange tentacles at night, and is a sight that almost defies description. The polyps are large and extend mostly at night, although well fed and/or trained polyps may emerge during the day as well, especially if food is present.

Placement: Tubastrea is not a stinging coral, and may be placed close to other corals. In terms of aquarium care, specimens should be positioned in areas of consistent water flow that will bring them available food when expanded.

Feeding: Due to the lack of zooxanthellae, this coral needs to be fed regularly, 2 or 3 times a week. We suggest the following food: PhycoPure™ by AlgaGen which you can find in our food selection on the website. It is a blend of 7 LIVE microalgaes. It is grown in natural seawater that has been ozonated, charcoal filtered and uv treated. Designed as the perfect supplement for filter feeding corals and invertebrates and to feed copepod populations. Aquarists of all levels have reported great results, having observed feedings (response time varies depending on water quality and system) from the following; Acropora (better polyp extension), Euphyllia (robust appearance), deep water gorgornians (Diodogorgia-full polyp extensions and growth), chili corals, Nephthea, Scleronephthya, anemones, tube worms, Dendronephthya, mushrooms, leathers and sea pens. In our personal experience we have been having success with gorgonians, carnations, and have noted positive response to PhycoPure™ from certain Montastrea and Tubastrea species.

(When the coral is hungry or senses food, it will extend its' feeding tenticles). Many newly acquired specimens take some time before they begin to extend their tentacles to feed. In fact, they may often seem to refuse to open. Several diligent evenings of blowing food across the closed cups will usually entice a polyp to begin peeking out. Once started, there will rarely be occasion to have them not open in full glory in expectation of food. This coral will also benefit from the addition of calcium, strontium, and other trace elements weekly to the water.

 Aussie War Coral Frags
Favites pentagona

Australian red war coral with neon green centers
Description: This is the original War Coral, and has proven to be a fast grower for us. A BEAUTIFUL red with super neon green eyes. Purchased at a local swapmeet over a year ago, we have been growing colonies for over a year now. It requires moderate water currents and moderate to high reef lighting for proper health. It is important that proper calcium and alkalinity levels are maintained. Use of Kalkwasser Mix or a calcium reactor will be of great benefit. A fast grower in good light...
Lighting: Medium to high lighting would serve this species well. Favia can be kept under high output fluorescent bulbs, but may benefit from more intense lighting. It will likely change its coloration depending on the lighting provided.
Diet and Feeding: The War Coral will rely to a large extent on the products of their zooxanthellae, from the tanks lighting, however, in our experience, they also benefit from direct feeding. There are a variety of frozen fish foods available that make outstanding meals. We like to feed a mixture of meaty foods such as shrimp, fish, and squid with vitamin additives and highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA). Cyclopeze also is a good choice. The size of the food is very important, it must be small enough that the polyp can fully ingest it.
Frag Difficulty: The War Coral is a fairly quick grower and will produce a significant amount of new growth every year. Fragments can be taken, and in our experience the easiest way is with a straight-edged razor blade. With the blade perpendicular from the edge of the coral, cut inwards about an inch. Repeat about an inch away from the first cut, then snap off the section between the two incisions. Even small frags tend to be extremely hardy and easy to acclimate.
Care Level: Maintenance for the War Coral is easy, making them excellent choices for the beginner to expert hobbyist.

 Flowering Pipe Organ Frags
Tubipora species

The best part of a pipe organ coral is the fact that it looks just
as good when the polyps are in as when they are out.

Description:This species is a soft coral but with a hard skeleton of calcium carbonate that contains many organ pipe-like tubes. On each tube is a series of polyps which each have eight feather-like tentacles. These tentacles are usually extended during the day, but will swiftly retreat with any sort of disturbance. The skeleton is a bright red color, but is obscured by the numerous polyps, which are green or gray in color. They are restricted to shallow waters and tend to live in sheltered areas.They eat plankton.Do not target feed this coral. Add a quality phytoplankton to the water column.This coral can be placed directly on the sand and should have moderate water flow. 
Feeding: The coral's feathery polyp tentacles help it catch food suspended in water. They appreciate food of smaller particle size, but shouldn't be target. Oyster eggs and other such small particle foods are recommended.

Lighting : Though adaptable, these corals prefer more intense lighting. Ideal lighting will depend on the depth and clarity of the water at which the coral was collected or cultured. As always, please acclimate to new lighting conditions.

Water flow: Moderate to strong water flow is important for effective feeding and to prevent sediment damage.

Placement: Pipe organ corals are not aggressive. Provide enough space for the coral polyps to extend without inhibition. Polyps can reach up to a foot in height when fully grown and fully extended.

Aussie Pink Platygyra 2-3 Polyp Frag
Platygyra lamellina

Bright Pink, with Yellow & Green Accents

Description:A beauty from Australia, This is a pink Worm Brain Coral. A good choice for the hobbyist just getting started with stony corals. They have a hard skeleton that is covered with fleshy tissues that expand and make the coral look much larger then they actually are. The shape is generally large-lobed.

Care must be taken when placing the coral in the aquarium so that nothing will damage the soft tissue. When placing them in the aquarium place them on the substrate or mid-way in the aquarium where they will receive direct light. Allow ample space between it and other corals, as it will sometimes sting its neighbors. Pink Worm Brain Corals can become shocked and potentially bleached (a rapid die-off of the algae in its tissue) after rapid changes in the intensity of its lighting. Always start your corals out in less intense lighting, and over weeks of time acclimate to higher lighting levels if you are increasing the light intensity.

Most of the coral's nutrients come from the symbiotic algaes that benefit from this lighting, but supplemental feedings are also beneficial. Open Brain Corals will extend long feeder tentacles at night and should be target fed about an hour after the lighting is off. Though they generally prefer moderate to high flow, decrease the flow while feeding to give the coral a chance to feed. Some Trachyphyllia have been known to capture larger meaty foods including small fish and invertebrates

Diet Requirements:Though these corals are mostly photosynthetic, they benefit from the occasional bit of raw table shrimp, frozen mysis shrimp or silverside once a week.

Hollywood Stunner
Chalice Coral Frag
Echinophyllia sp
Description: Hollywood Stunner Chalice has a purple body and very bright lime green mouths. The Hollywood Stunner is a slow grower, but considered fast compared to most Chalices. It needs to be placed in the bottom two-thirds of the aquarium, under a moderate water flow. The Stunner will also benefit from an occasional feeding of marine snow, phytoplankton, or food for filter feeders.
Placement: Place the Echinophyllia Coral on an exposed rock along the bottom two-thirds of the aquarium where currents will be able to supply it with necessary nutrients and trace elements. Although it is not crucial, Echinophyllia should be placed so that the plates are horizontal. Depending on the intensity of the light they may need to be placed low in the aquarium, or placed so that they get indirect Metal Halide light.
Lighting: Echinophyllia species are a hermatypic/photosynthetic coral. They do well in all forms of lighting from strong halides, to T5's, even VHO and power compact lighting seem to bring about the dramatic colors. A word of caution: Echinophyllias lay down a relatively dense skeleton which makes them particularly vulnerable to high levels of Infra Red light, which some Metal Halide reflector combinations produce. Do not put Echinophyllia near the top of heavily illuminated aquariums.
Frag Difficulty: Echinophyllia species grow outward from all around their edges a large colony can nevertheless produce a significant amount of new growth every year. Fragments can be taken, and in our experience the easiest way is with a straight-edged razor blade. With the blade perpendicular from the edge of the coral, cut inwards about an inch. Repeat about an inch away from the first cut, then snap off the section between the two incisions. Even small frags tend to be extremely hardy and easy to acclimate.
Care Level: Easy

Limited Edition Ultra Chalice
Watermellon Taffy Chalice Coral Frag
Echinophyllia Aspera

Description: The Watermelon chalice is a real beauty in the reef tank. It's bright coloration and accent colors will become stronger and stronger over time as it grows. A recent addition to reef aquariums the past few years, Chalice Corals are known to exhibit some of the most beautiful combinations of colors and patterns, making them the perfect reef aquarium addition.
