Thanks for the info and sympathy. I did replace the smaller clown, and as soon as I brought him home, I looked at him, and noticed that the color is much darker. He's more of a red than an orange. He's not a marooon, I know that. The LFS sold him as a oscellaris. He looks exactly the same...

Unfortunately, I performed a deadly water change today. I changed out about 8% and this is my story. I turned off my skimmer pump and return pump. This caused a siphon, which it normally does, about 5 gallons goes back into the sump. When this siphon occurred, the smallest (male) oscellaris...

Sorry to hear about your snails. It looks like Hermits have this split personality thing going on.

By the way, I'm now on the hunt for a candidate for renaming, to help me rid several batches of newly forming bubble algae. Chad

I've read good and bad about these little jewels. I've had a my reef set up for about seven weeks. I've gone through a small amount (comparitively) of algae growth. But, there is this ONE live rock that has almost been removed because of it's GREAT LAWN of hairy grass. I enterred my second...
