Nice tanks, how come the water isn't all the way filled?

There are small fan worms up to large feather dusters. Different species grow to different sizes/shapes/colors etc.

I've had some polyp frags (5 or so polyps) take up to a week to open up fully. I'd be more wary since this is a whole colony. May be too much flow or your nitrates/phosphates. If your light is low, you would see greater polyp extension or something, they would still open up though...

How many US gallons is a 550?

nice looking tank! I have a bunch of spots i cant reach with teh stock magnet, but i got one from two little fishies (not sure if it's available in the UK, though). It is very slim and fits in between rocks and tight places, also doesn't stir up your sand as much!

That is cold! Clowns are generally very hardy and can put up with subpar conditions for a while. My 12g nanocube consistently runs around 82F during the day and drops to 79ish at night. As long as it doesn't just drop a few degrees instantly, you should find the clowns to be ok. That said, I...

Sounds good, don't be mad at me if it is though :unsure:

If you are running a tank with triggers i suggest a sump and also to cover your wires, they can chew threw them and electrocute themselves or the tank!

Clowns will host anything... anemone, toadstool, hammer, plate coral, powerhead etc. One thing worth mentioning is that some LPS like a hammer can harm a clown if it hasn't built up an adequate slime coat.

There is usually a sticker on the bottom or something. Otherwise i think if you look at the edge of the glass it will be greenish? Here is a good link to tell if your glass is tempered tempered glass

Chekc out my old 90g journal if you get a chance journal I would be adding the tang last. Would either a yellow tang or a purple tang be a better choice, health wise? I kept a yellow tang and didn't quarantine, and no ich, but that's the exception, not the rule. I'll probably be getting...

Thanks Seffie. I changed tanks for a couple reasons: 1. I didn't have as much time as i'd like to maintain, spot feed, test, water change, etc on the 90g and didn't want my livestock to suffer, so i sold it all. 2. the tank was costing me ~$30 a month to run! 3. I bought a new tv and the...

Agree also you can put them lower and aim them up since you've got a tall tank.

What type of anemone is it? Male and female are the same and some are hermaphroditic.

Probably a bristle worm. Was it the same finger? Are you sure you didn't just have some bristles left in your finger. In the future, spread elmers over your finger, let it dry, then peel it off. Bristles come right out!
