My engineer was 11" when I got him 2.5 years ago. He digs a lot, and even though my rocks are on the glass, he's buried s few corals I had set out on the sand away from the rocks. He's about 13"...

Mine have spread through my tank, and they definitely block growth of any coral that comes near them. They are very hard to break, but my coral ("toenail") clippers have worked fairly well. You...

My seven urchins seem pretty safe. It sounds like yours wants to be there - they can get around pretty fast when they want to, so yours probably wants to be where it is. If you're worried about it...

I gotta say I had a group of nudi's that looked just like that one that I first thought to be Berghias, that turned out to be munching the fronds off my zoas as fast as they could. I picked them out...

I touch mine on a tentacle with a small piece of krill, and wait until they take it. My fish never get it away from them. A pair of long metal tongs helps reach them. I don't really make a point to...

I have 2, one for about a year and one for 4-5 months. They need flow, and mine climbed to the top of my reef as soon as they hit the water, and seldom move. They put out their tentacles to feed,...

I have 2, and have had another awhile back. They live on urchins, and seem to prefer long-spined black ones of the "diadema" species - which also fit their camoflage pattern best. I've seen written...

My sense is that Emperors are less likely than Blue Girdled to pick, and my changing Emperor has never given either of my torches a second look or any kind of taste. Nor have my clowns.
