Worked as a tech at a vet for a few years, a theory went around that over vaccination is a key contributor. Some of the oldest animals I ever saw had never been to a vet before or had any vaccinations in their life. My cats are indoor and I now will no longer vaccinate them after the age of 4...

I been to chucksaddiction and really could not completely confirm what kind of crab it was. Still hoping someone here knows.

Looking for an ID, I found this guy when doing a water change he's about the size of a dime. Didn't have the heart to flush him so I sumped him instead.

Random colonies of my zoas are being eaten slowly but surely. Lashes disappear and they slowly melt away after that. I have searched for spiders, nudis, signs of zoa pox and have seen nothing. However the other day I saw a very large pod on the colony in the middle of the night, I have read...

from CA Department Fish and Game Is a fishing license required while fishing from a public fishing pier in ocean waters? A: No, but it must be a public fishing pier. A Sturgeon Fishing Report Card is required to take sturgeon from a public pier in ocean waters. A Spiny Lobster Report...

Well tank has been running over 3 years and I have never seen one came home today added some coral and in the process saw this guy cruising around on the front. Quickly picked him off and safe to say he is long gone but thought I might try to get an ID. Thank all...

Well I have definitely seen both sides, fish people are animal people just not always to the same degree. I have lost fish and coral before, some disease, some I should have never been sold in the first place. Difference is losing fish and coral in this hobby is expected to a certain degree...

Hi all so a few months ago I started a mobile pet service. Business is good and I am very happy with how we are growing but I am always looking for more. As of now we advertise in a few news papers some bulletins and craigslist. We also put up flyers and cards at local vets and pet stores. I am...

So I am looking for thoughts on what fish to get for my 40 gallon breeder reef tank. It use to be home to my coral beauty but he will be finding a new home after I found he the culprit that has been eating my zoas. The other fish I have is a lawnmower blenny, CUC is some hermits, snails and an...

So after my polyps have been disappearing for some time now I decided to remove the coral beauty to see if he is the culprit. So yesterday after some rock removal I was able to catch him and put him in a 10 gallon QT. I'll keep close tabs on the tank over the next few weeks to see if there is...

Cool thanks for the detail that helped a lot. I am going to try to net him during feeding as he seems distracted enough for me to get him. Its a long shot but ill try that first then I'll move on to the proven bottle method. Why did you have to remove him? I just noticed last night mine...

So I saw a local news story yesterday about how they are finding dying leopard sharks in the Bay. Test show that its from massive internal bleeding to the point blood is coming through the skin. People finding them have tried to put them back but the sharks immediately return to the shore as...

Thats awesome so how long did you leave the trap in for and did you put food in the bottom to lure him in?

Thanks mr ugly I haven't seen anything substantial as far as white spots or bumps. My thought is if I further believe its not zoa pox and if I can catch the coral beauty I can put it in a spare 10 gallon I have for a QT tank. Wait a few week and see what the zoas look like then. How to catch...

I have posted quite a bit about my battle with zoa pox that's not going well. Today I was at Aquatic Collection and Joe said, as hes been telling me for months that he suspects its not zoa pox but my coral beauty that's doing the damage. I have had the coral beauty for years, and have seen him...

Stats use to make my brain go BOOM! Here's a site http://www.library.upenn.edu/cgi-bin/res/sr.cgi?resourcetype=11 I found with a lot of data sets maybe you can find something here of use, good luck. Its the least I can do for the man who called my number for the door prize and let me run to...

Ok so I have posted here before that I have been fighting zoa pox for the last 3-4 months. I have been dipping the affected colonies in Furan2 which helped but has not eradicated it. The problem is it will not go away, it only affects certain zoas, so in large colonies there will be a 1/8 that...

Ok so a couple days ago both of my montis completely turned on me, the polyps are 90% retracted. I had just removed the carbon which I run frequently along with doing a water change. I am fighting zoas pox and have been seemly forever but my Montis have been flourishing and my tank is very zoa...

So I have a 40 breeder mostly zoas and softies. I have been running 2 x 150 watt 14k phoenix bulbs for about 8 months now and they are ready to be replaced. I am looking to get better color out of my zoas, I feel like they get a little washed out because of the intensity of the lighting. I...

I say 29 I love these palys!
