    Cleaner shrimp acclimation best practice

    Why does it matter where inverts are sourced from?

    So I was looking at LiveAquaria, and they offer different options for cleaner shrimp sourcing, ranging from Africa, to Indonesia, and Sri Lanka. Does it matter where they are sourced from?

    Any experiences with Serpent Stars? Fish-eating monsters, or model citizens?

    Part 2 to TBS "The Package" arrived on Thursday, and they included a Serpent Star (about 4" across).

    ORA Variegated Urchin Closeup Video - Zach's 120 Gallon Reef Resurgence

    I was poking around last night and got this video of one of my ORA Variegated Urchins out and about. I love watching the guys scour the rock work looking for tasty algae to eat. They don't do squat against dinos but they seem to be doing well since I added them a month ago on 09/02/2017...

    Invert ID please

    It looks like a nassarius without a shell. However, since I have never actually seen a shelless nassarius, I have no idea. Please tell me if the little guy is a friend or foe. His life is in your hands. Thanks, Jim

    coral/anemone on crabs

    I was wondering is there a species (similar to pompom crab) where they carry anemones / corals and they actually live. I've heard decorator crabs cut off zoans but do the polys live or just die? I really want a moving tiny reef so please tell me anything ASAP thx ^^

This is sadly its biggest problem as well. Due the the immense diversity, we have so many animals to choose from...
