False Percula, or Ocellaris clownfish, grows up to 4 Inches and needs an aquarium of at least 15 gallons for a single or pair. Groups may be kept in larger aquariums as long as the dominant female chooses to tolerate the small fish. It works best if all individuals are added at the same time.Ocellaris clownfish are also known as False Percula for their close resemblance to their close relative the True Percula. It pairs best with its own species, but may also chose a True Percula as a mate. It is very rare for another species to bond with it; more commonly fighting occurs. True Percula and False Percula clownfish are nearly identical; the main difference is True Percula typically has a more orange color around the pupil, whereas Ocellaris eyes show more black. Ocellaris clownfish have pencil thin black lines around their white stripes, as opposed to mature True Percula who have thick black outlines.They may host with nearly any anemone species, except Atlantic species. Best hosts are Magnifica/Ritteri (Heteractis magnifica) or Carpet (Stichodactyla sp.), however Bubble Tip (Entacmaea quadricolor) and Sebae (Heteractis crispa) are also popular choices.Clownfish are hardy, easy to keep and are a perfect first fish for a new aquarium. Most species are available tank bred. They are omnivorous and easy to feed on high quality food items such as frozen Mysis shrimp, enriched brine shrimp, and dry foods, preferably more than once a day.Clownfish are well known for their charming wiggling way of swimming, which serves them well in their natural home, within the stinging tentacles of an anemone. The exact reason clownfish are not stung is not known, but it may have something to do with the fish's slime coat. In the ocean, without the protection of the anemone, clownfish would be easily picked off by predators. In an aquarium the anemone, which has much more demanding needs than the fish, is not necessary. The fish may instead host with a soft coral such as furry mushrooms, toadstool leather, colt coral, or even within macro algae. It may choose to host within large polyp stony corals such as Euphyllia sp. as well, however the coral does sting the fish. We don't recommend encouraging them to host with delicate corals such as bubble or brain type corals, which the fish may injure with its constant swimming. Even with an anemone in the aquarium the fish will chose to host with whichever home it likes best.Clownfish may be kept singly, or more commonly in pairs, in which case the smallest more submissive fish remains a male, and the largest most dominant fish changes sex to become a female. Clowns are related to damselfish, and pairs will not tolerate other species of clownfish within their territory (which may include 50 gallons of space or more) and may fight to the death. They are prone to parasitic infections such as Brooklynella and velvet.It is common for pairs of clownfish to spawn in the aquarium, and pairs in their prime may lay eggs near their nest site as often as every two weeks. It is not necessary to interfere with the parents, who may become more aggressive at this time, chasing away other fish and nipping at their owner's hands. It is possible, though laborious, to raise the young fish at home. If a breeding effort is to be attempted, it is important to ensure the parent fish are of the same species in order to maintain genetic purity for future generations.
Bullseye mushroom corals have a leathery texture covered in bumpy nubs. Tonga Blue mushrooms have a stunning blue to royal purple coloration, each one accented with a unique pattern of contrasting colored markings. It is easy to keep and makes a great coral for beginners and experienced collectors alike. Difficulty: Easy Growth Speed: Fast Lighting: Low-Medium Average Placement: Low Water Flow: Low-Medium Temperament: Semi-Aggressive Mushroom corals are easy to keep and are a popular first coral for beginners, often growing and multiplying quickly. The Bullseye Mushroom has a bumpy or fuzzy texture, and may come in any bright color of the rainbow including emerald green, royal purple, and electric orange. This shallow water coral does best under bright lighting, but is highly adaptable. Several corals will be attached to a rock.
Shrimp are active, entertaining and easy to keep. They shed their shells as they grow, and afterwards need to hide in the rock until their new shell hardens. Shrimp are highly excitable when food is present, and will do anything to get it. Some species may pester corals by attempting to reach food the coral has eaten. In this situation the shrimp should be provided food first. Large individuals may catch and consume smaller species.The delightful Bumble Bee shrimp is white or yellow with fine black stripes. It grows to only 1 inch and makes a perfect addition to a nano aquarium. It will pick on the tube feet of Echinoderms. It should be spot fed some fish food daily.
The attractive Bumble Bee snail has a jet black shell with bright yellow stripes. It actively patrols the rocks and sand in search of detritus and fish food to eat. It may also consume worms and micro-fauna in the substrate. It grows to 1 inch. It is commonly available from the Philippines. It should be placed right side up on the sand after acclimation. Snails are extremely sensitive to changes in water quality.
Blennies are diminutive fish typically with elongated bodies, and as such we do not recommend any aggressive or large-mouthed fish to be kept with them; this includes all groupers, snappers, sweetlips, soapfish, lionfish, eels, goatfish, anglers/frogfish, leaf fish, and any other fish who may eat them.The Bundoon blenny is a peaceful and beautiful little fish. It has an elongated body which is bright olive green to yellow with contrasting dark stripes along its body to its long, forked tail. Males and females are visually identical; however males may grow larger. It grows up to 3.5 inches.Fang blennies have a unique defense mechanism- if eaten by a larger fish they can use their venomous bite to injure the bigger animal and hope to be spit out. They only use this bite as defense and are generally quite peaceful to tank mates. However, care should be taken when handling the fish in a net, or if small children have access to the aquarium and may put their fingers in the water. Fang blennies spend almost all their time swimming in the open water where they can be enjoyed. They are reef safe and very easy to keep.Diet should include plenty of high quality meaty items, marine algae, Spirulina, and frozen Mysis shrimp. It is preferable to feed more than once a day. We recommend an aquarium of at least 30 gallons or larger.
The epitome of grace and beauty, the spectacular Burgess butterfly makes a striking center piece. Cutting across its stark white body are three inky black stripes, each one enlarging towards its tail. It grows up to 5.5 inches and needs an aquarium of at least 75 gallons.The Burgess butterfly is a rare treasure from deep water, and thus appreciates a dimly lit aquarium, at least initially. This species is normally quite peaceful and should not be kept with aggressive tank mates. It can be kept in pairs or groups which should be added at the same time to a large aquarium. Butterflyfish do not show differences between males and females. They are related to angelfish, but lack the angel's distinctive cheek spines. A butterflyfish's favorite food is an anemone, so they should not be kept in the same aquarium with one unless it is guarded by aggressive clownfish. The butterflyfish knows to attack the anemone on its mouth, which does not sting, and will make a quick meal of it. Because of this behavior this species is often employed to rid an aquarium of pest anemones such as Aiptasia. Many species of butterfly also benefit from filamentous algae in the aquarium to graze on.This species may nip on many corals especially LPS, clam mantles, sponges, and feather dusters. It is sometimes safe with soft corals such as mushrooms and colt, or SPS, however caution should still be exercised if attempting it in a reef aquarium. They do not typically bother other types of invertebrates such as crustaceans. They feel most secure when there is plenty of live rock to hide in, as well as open space for swimming. This species is easy to feed on a variety of meaty and herbivore preparations such as frozen Mysis shrimp, half shell clams, marine algae and Spirulina; it should be fed 2-3 times a day.
Triggerfish are extremely personable and entertaining, and make great tank mates with other fish of similar size or temperament. They will eat invertebrates, especially shrimp, but also other crustaceans, mollusks, bivalves, sponges, tunicates, feather dusters and more. They may move and flip over rocks to search for food underneath. They do not typically bother corals. They may chase and bully other fish, especially those smaller than themselves. They may be aggressive with other triggerfish and two should only be kept together in sufficiently large aquariums.Triggerfish are named for their first dorsal fin which is typically kept flat against their back but can be cocked into an upright position and cannot be forced down. When threatened they swim into the smallest cave they can fit in and lock their fin up which makes them impossible to be dislodged by predators. This fin may also become tangled in nets.Triggerfish are carnivores and should be fed two to three times a day a high quality diet of meaty items such as Mysis shrimp, krill, silversides, clams, and chopped seafood. Hard shelled items are important to keep their teeth in good shape. Algae clips with nori are a favorite treat and may be quickly devoured. They are easy to keep and usually learn to eat dry foods as well. Triggerfish are heavy feeders and thus strong filtration is necessary. A rainbow of colors streaks across the charming Bursa trigger's face; a bright orange stripe from its mouth, yellow and caramel from its eyes, come together at a point under its pectoral fins. Baby blue highlights around each of the other stripes, all overtop a background of light fawn. The edges of its caudal fin are also orange, and a distinctive black blotch covers its belly. Males and females are identical. It grows up to 9 inches and requires an aquarium of at least 125 gallons.
This coral receives most of its energy by utilizing the photosynthetic algae contained within its tissues. It will benefit from occasional feedings of meaty foods such as mysis shrimp, enriched brine shrimp, chopped krill, pellets, etc. Some corals may also respond to phytoplankton. Its transparent feeding tentacles extend mainly at night, although it can learn to feed during daylight hours.Open brain corals are able to expand their tissues to a surprising size, and are often called Meat corals. They thrive under dim to moderate light, and may be damaged by intense illumination. They are often nipped on by fish, especially angelfish. Many open brains are sensitive to the chemicals released by soft corals, such as leathers, lemnalia and mushrooms; the use of carbon filtration (changed frequently) and regular water changes can minimize this.Space should be provided between corals to allow for growth and expansion; although open brain corals possess feeding tentacles they are prone to being stung and damaged by neighboring corals.The chubby, distinctive balloon-like bladders which surround the Button Brain or Modern coral can inflate to an impressive size, quickly making it a striking center-piece. It is typically found living on rocks, but can also be placed on the bottom of the aquarium. It may sometimes refuse to inflate if the water quality is poor, and thrives best under low lighting. The Australia variety is usually a much nicer color than from other areas; most specimens are translucent shades of green with a contrasting color, usually purple or rose.Water flow is best provided as turbulent flow with the use of a wave maker or surge action. Constant laminar flow is very damaging and could cause death of the coral. Alkalinity, calcium, magnesium and strontium are required for growth and should be checked regularly. Difficulty: Intermediate Growth Speed: Slow Lighting: Low - Medium Average Placement: Low Water Flow: Low Temperament: Peaceful

It is typically found living on rocks, but can also be placed on the bottom of the aquarium. It may sometimes refuse to inflate if the water quality is poor, and thrives best under low lighting. Ultra Australia specimens are rare, and have much brighter colors than the standard variety; color may be highly metallic or very saturated, typically pink, but other colors are also possible.Water flow is best provided as turbulent flow with the use of a wave maker or surge action.

These corals receive most of their energy by utilizing the photosynthetic algae contained within their tissues. They will also benefit from occasional feedings of phytoplankton. Specimens collected from the South Pacific have much more vivid colors than those from Indonesia.While leather corals have non-stinging tentacles, it is possible for them to release potent chemicals into the water which adversely affect the growth of stony corals; the use of carbon filtration (changed frequently) and regular water changes can minimize this. They occasionally retract all polyps and develop a waxy sheet over the surface which makes them look wet underwater; this is a natural cleansing behavior. Given good water flow the sheet will be shed into the water and the polyps will re-emerge. The sheet will break down naturally, but should be removed if seen floating in the water or if it covers another coral.Once established this coral is very hardy, but it may be prone to several types of pests. Snails such as the rapa rapa, little egg cowrie, nudibranches, and worms such as syllid worms (among others) may prey on soft corals. We recommend every coral be dipped before placed in a display aquarium. Leather corals may also be sensitive to the aluminum oxide in some phosphate-absorbing media.This easy to keep coral grows as delightful ruffles extending a few inches from the rock. It comes in shades of tan to pink with tiny polyps scattered sporadically over its surface and along the edges of its ruffles.

Shrimp are highly excitable when food is present, and will do anything to get it. Some species may pester corals by attempting to reach food the coral has eaten. In this situation the shrimp should be provided food first. Large individuals may catch and consume smaller species.A talented dancer and fine dresser, the handsome Camel shrimp is both entertaining and easy on the eyes. It waggles its body as if it was dancing The Robot and enjoys the company of its own kind. It is sometimes mistaken for the Peppermint shrimp, however it is quite different. It is also known as the Candy, Dancing and Hinge-Beak shrimp. It grows to 2 inches; males have larger claws than females. It may pick on coral polyps but usually ignores other invertebrates, fish, and corals and anemones with strong stinging tentacles. It is easy to feed with fish food.
Blennies are diminutive fish typically with elongated bodies, and as such we do not recommend any aggressive or large-mouthed fish to be kept with them; this includes all groupers, snappers, sweetlips, soapfish, lionfish, eels, goatfish, anglers/frogfish, leaf fish, and any other fish who may eat them.The Canary blenny makes a cheery and colorful addition. It has an elongated body which is bright lemony yellow all over. It has a high dorsal fin and a very long, fork shaped tail which moves gracefully as the fish swims. Males and females are visually identical; however males may grow larger. It grows up to 5 inches.Fang blennies have a unique defense mechanism- if eaten by a larger fish they can use their venomous bite to injure the bigger animal and hope to be spit out. They only use this bite as defense and are generally quite peaceful to tank mates. However, care should be taken when handling the fish in a net, or if small children have access to the aquarium and may put their fingers in the water. Fang blennies spend almost all their time swimming in the open water where they can be enjoyed. They are reef safe and very easy to keep.Diet should include plenty of high quality meaty items, marine algae, Spirulina, and frozen Mysis shrimp. It is preferable to feed more than once a day. We recommend an aquarium of at least 30 gallons or larger.

This coral receives much of its energy by utilizing the photosynthetic algae contained within its tissues. It also depends on absorbing nutrients from the water, and will benefit from occasional feedings of zooplankton and coral snow. Zoanthids are often covered in a heavy mucus layer which helps them capture prey. Many types may be voracious feeders if offered meaty items, especially those corals with long tapering tentacles. Their sting is quite mild, however they can grow fast enough to over-grow other corals, so adequate space should be provided to accommodate future growth. Those species with shorter tentacles typically require higher water flow than those with longer tentacles, and all types will benefit from bright light.Most species contain toxins in their mucus and tissues, including the potent neurotoxin palytoxin, which may be dangerous to humans. It is important not to underestimate this toxin- gloves are highly recommended when handling this coral. Neon, Metallic, Nuclear, and most definitely, Ultra, each of these corals adds a dazzling effect to the reef. Each colony is intensely hued and most fluorescence brightly under actinic lighting. Colors may be hot pink, bright blue, intense scarlet, emerald green, or any other color or combination of colors. This coral is collected from Australia, and may grow peacefully beside another color variety, making it possible to create a garden of rainbow colors.Sand Zoanthus polyps are a type of Zoanthid, also called colonial anemones. They grow in a cluster by budding, and are attached at the base by runners or a mat. Occasionally blowing the colony with a baster or powerhead will help clear detritus from between the polyps and discourage nuisance algae. They are very hardy and are quite tolerant of poor water quality. However, they may be prone to pests such as predatory nudibranch, sundial snails, spiders, some Asterina sp. starfish, and zoa pox infection. Dipping the coral before adding to a display aquarium is highly recommended. Some fish may also nip on them. Difficulty: Easy Growth Speed: Fast Lighting: Medium - High Average Placement: Middle - High Water Flow: Medium - High Temperament: Semi-Aggressive
Bass and Basslets make wonderful peaceful community fish and are also coral safe. We recommend an aquarium of at least 30 gallons for Basslets which grow to 3 Inches, and at least 50 for larger species and groups of multiple individuals. There are no differences between males and females. Basslets feel most secure when there is plenty of live rock to hide in, as well as open space for swimming.They are typically easy to feed on a variety of frozen meaty foods, and may learn to take dry foods in time. Diet should include plenty of high quality meaty items, marine algae, Spirulina, and Mysis shrimp. It is preferable to feed more than once a day.No other fish on the reef can compare to the radiant colors of the Red Candy basslet. Its colors are so saturated they nearly jump off the fish! Fiery tangerine striped with marvelous magenta paints this fish from its nose to the end of its tail. Two jet black spots on its tail, one on its dorsal fin, and its black pupil are surrounded by sapphire blue to bright violet. It can be differentiated from similar basslets by having no black spot on its anal fin. Because of the great depths in which it lives it is rarely collected. It is peaceful and invertebrate safe, except for very small shrimp and crabs, and should not be kept with aggressive tank mates. It is relatively hardy once established, however may suffer from swim bladder damage and sensitivity to medications. The Red Candy basslet grows to 2.5 inches.
Candy Cane coral receives most of its energy by utilizing the photosynthetic algae contained within its tissues. It can also be offered meaty foods such as mysis shrimp, enriched brine shrimp, oyster eggs, pellets, etc. Its transparent feeding tentacles extend mainly at night, although it can learn to feed during daylight hours. It is tolerant of less-than-perfect water quality and is not prone to pests.Space should be provided between corals to allow for growth and expansion; although Candy Cane corals possess feeding tentacles they are prone to being stung and damaged by neighboring corals.Candy cane, also known as Trumpet, is easy to keep and is often the first LPS coral many hobbyists keep. Each polyp is large and fleshy and grows on its own branch. Cultured Candy Cane is typically a bright green color and may fluorescence brightly under actinic lighting. Water flow is best provided as turbulent flow with the use of a wave maker or surge action. Constant laminar flow is very damaging and could cause death of the coral. Alkalinity, calcium, magnesium and strontium are required for growth and should be checked regularly. Difficulty: Easy Growth Speed: Fast Lighting: Medium

Hogfish are related to and share many qualities with wrasses. They are easy to keep and have healthy appetites for invertebrates, especially shrimp, however larger species may attack crustaceans, snails, worms and starfish among others. They do not bother corals or anemones, but may flip over rocks in their search for food. Large species may also bully or eat small fish, but they are typically nonaggressive with other large fish as long as they have a different shape. Similarly shaped fish are seen as a threat and may be targeted.They will hide within the rockwork to sleep, but when threatened may dive into the sand for protection. They can even swim under the sand to avoid predators. A fine sand bed of at least 2-3 inches will help them feel secure. Rocks should be placed on the aquarium glass and sand poured around them to eliminate the danger of a cave-in when the hogfish dives in.Hogfish feel most secure when there is plenty of live rock to hide in, as well as open space for swimming. They should be fed two to three times a day plenty of high quality meaty items, frozen Mysis shrimp, krill, chopped seafood, marine algae and Spirulina. They usually learn to take dry foods as well.A delightful fish, the colorful Candy Stripe hogfish is so bright it nearly glows. Super saturated lemon yellow covers it from nose to tail, with contrasting scarlet horizontal stripes and a small dot before its tail. A dramatic dark eyespot is behind its gill cover, and another on its dorsal fin. It maintains its bright colors when mature, typically with the red stripes becoming more bold. Males and females are identical. It is one of the smallest and most peaceful of the hogfish, rarely bothering its fish tank mates. It is less likely than other hogfish to bother invertebrates, and even large shrimp may be safe if they are added before the hogfish. It grows up to 4 inches and requires an aquarium of at least 50 gallons.
CarbonDoser Electronic CO2 Regulator
Overview
This product has forever changed the introduction of CO2 into an aquarium.
Key Features
Used for CO2 injection for a freshwater planted aquarium, or a Calcium reactor in a saltwater application. We guarantee that nowhere on this planet can you find a BETTER or MORE PRECISE regulator! This is OUR baby, we built it, tested it, and patented it. The problem of "dumping" is completely eliminated with this regulator. Dumping is always a problem with ALL OTHER regulators which utilize a needle valve. Simply because, a needle valve relies on the pressure on both sides of it for it's accuracy. So, even though you have it set at a certain "bubble rate", once the pressure in the cylinder (or the outside atmospheric pressure) changes, so will the amount of CO2 that passes through the needle valve. This is why it is physically impossible for any and ALL other regulators that rely on a needle valve to ever be consistent. Our regulator does not have a needle valve, but instead, it has an electronic valve that opens and closes in a fraction of a second, (each "opening and closing" equates to a bubble) and, due to the fact that it is "electronic" the "bubble rate" can NEVER change. Once it is set, it can never vary more than +/- 1/1,000=of a second. The low pressure gauge goes up to 45 lbs but it can be measured up to 60 lbs.

Environmentally accurate ecoscapes, developed through CaribSea's cooperation with public aquariums and zoological parks where authenticity is a must, Arag-Alive! makes any aquarium uniquely yours.
Arag-Alive! makes it easy to set up an aquarium. It's ready to work, clears quickly, and contains millions of live bacteria to cycle super fast and create a natural biological balance. Arag-Alive! suppresses the dreaded "new tank syndrome", compresses the ammonia cycle, and discourages nuisance algae. In fact, independent labs prove Arag-Alive! cycles days faster than other brands of live sand. That's what makes Arag-Alive! the choice of new aquarists and maintenance companies where speed of set up, beauty, and reliability are demanded.
In an ongoing effort to improve Arag-Alive and increase ease of use, the Bio-Magnet Clarifier is no longer in a packet inside the bag. Bio-Magnet Clarifier is now added directly to the packing solution. This will eliminate looking through the substrate for a packet and makes Arag-Alive even easier to use.

Caribsea Create-a-Scape LifeRock Base Rock - 1 Hole
Overview
LifeRock begins as a sunlit piece of Pleistocene era seafloor thriving with living creatures. Over the next 100 millennia and the retreat of the ocean, this ancient piece of seafloor, now well inland, has formed a pure, aragonite- bearing rock. This clean base rock is 97% calcium carbonate with minor and trace elements such as strontium, magnesium, and barium.
This base has an amazing 50% void space which will provide residence for billions of water-purifying bacteria. LifeRock is infused with bacteria using AragAlive technology which results in a reduction of traditional cycling times. Each piece of LifeRock has multiple engineered aragonite coatings that not only maintain the extensive macro-and micro- porosity but yield the soft muted colors of a living reef.
LifeRock is a superior rock of true marine origin without hitchhikers, organics, or algae. No curing is required. With LifeRock you will get the look of an established reef from Day 1.
CaribSea's Create-A-Scape LifeRock Base Rock is the perfect support for creating aquascapes quickly and without the need for glue. Simply insert a stabilizing rod into one or all of the three pre-dilled holes (in the 3 hole version) and add additional CaribSea LifeRock structures as desired.
