This gorgeous animal may be shades of azure to cobalt blue. It is usually found crawling on the glass or live rock searching for food. A sand substrate helps to generate enough natural food, which consists mainly of biofilm and microalgae. It is completely reef safe and does not bother corals. If it is kept with competing animals, such as other starfish, the aquarium must be large enough to support all animals.Echinoderms such as starfish are extremely sensitive to changes in the water quality. They require well established aquariums of at least 6 months for both water stability and sufficient food supply. It grows up to 16 inches and needs an aquarium at least 100 gallons.
This uncommon starfish is deep purple to wine color and commonly has more than five legs. It is usually found crawling on the glass or live rock searching for food. A sand substrate helps to generate enough natural food, which consists mainly of biofilm and microalgae. It may also consume micro fauna, sponges, clams and small anemones. It is mostly reef safe and does not bother corals. If it is kept with competing animals, such as other starfish, the aquarium must be large enough to support all animals. This is one of the easiest starfish to keep, although it is still only recommended for experienced aquarists.Echinoderms such as starfish are extremely sensitive to changes in the water quality. They require well established aquariums of at least 6 months for both water stability and sufficient food supply. It grows up to 8 inches and needs an aquarium at least 100 gallons.
Also known as the Multicolor starfish, it is cream colored with scarlet red polka dots on its back. It is usually found crawling on the glass or live rock searching for food. A sand substrate helps to generate enough natural food, which consists mainly of biofilm and microalgae. It is completely reef safe and does not bother corals. If it is kept with competing animals, such as other starfish, the aquarium must be large enough to support all animals. This is one of the easiest starfish to keep, although it is still only recommended for experienced aquarists.Echinoderms such as starfish are extremely sensitive to changes in the water quality. They require well established aquariums of at least 6 months for both water stability and sufficient food supply. It grows up to 4 inches and needs an aquarium at least 75 gallons.
Wrasses are prone to jumping from the aquarium when startled or excited so we recommend a secure lid. They feel most secure when there is plenty of live rock to hide in, as well as open space for swimming. Most species may be kept in pairs or harems as long as they are added together or females first. They do not appreciate living with other species of wrasse, so any aquarium with several species must be large enough and the most peaceful species added first.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.Fairy wrasses are easy to keep and have active personalities. They are safe with most invertebrates except small shrimp and crabs. They do not bother corals or anemones. They may bully smaller fish such as flasher wrasses, however most are not big enough to live with large or very aggressive fish, either. Most species can be kept together in systems at least 100 gallons, with the most peaceful species added first.At night time fairy wrasses hide in the rockwork and wrap themselves in a mucus cocoon to hide their scent from predators. This cocoon may be visible in the morning, and will soon dissipate into the water, and a new cocoon created each night.One of the ocean's greatest treasures, the Lineatus wrasse is incredible to behold. Mature males have hot pink flanks and yellow bellies peppered with deep royal purple arranged in thin stripes along its sides; two dark smudges in deep navy decorate the body close to the anal fin and front of the dorsal fin. Its eyes are intense bubble gum pink, and its fins flaming yellow and orange with glittering blue spots. Its fins are rounded except for its trailing pointed pelvic fins. Females and sub-dominant males are similar but have fewer adornments on their fins and less saturated colors. It is normally peaceful with other fairy wrasses except its close relatives such as the Red Margin and Rhomboid wrasses. It is a rare import from the Coral Sea, between Australia and Hawaii. It grows up to 5 inches and needs an aquarium at least 90 gallons.
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 Lined blenny is a diminutive darling from the Philippines. Its body is the color of matte mother of pearl; more grey on its head and shifting to beige at the tail. It has a black line just under its eye, and two black dots behind that, giving it its other common name, the Two-spot blenny. The dark markings are highlighted by white giving a beautiful contrast. Males and females are visually identical; however males may grow larger. It grows up to 2 inches. The Lined blenny spends most of its time perched on top of or in rocks with its head sticking out, always alert and watching its environment. It is typically reef safe, preferring to graze live algae off the rocks. Groups may be housed together if all individuals are added at the same time.Diet should include plenty of marine algae and Spirulina, frozen Mysis shrimp, and other high quality meaty items. It is preferable to feed more than once a day. We recommend an aquarium of at least 10 gallons or larger. Live algae is an important source of food, and should be growing in the aquarium before the blenny is introduced.
Chromis are active, coral -safe fish with bright colors. They are typically safe with invertebrates; however, some large species may attack small shrimp. Most species can be kept in schools together with their own kind, and we find a minimum of 6 to be the ideal number. They are known to be normally non-aggressive, although they may chase smaller fish. We recommend an aquarium of at least 30 gallons for chromis which grow to 3 Inches, and at least 50 for larger species and schools of multiple individuals.Chromis are typically easy to feed on a variety of frozen or dried meaty and vegetable foods. Chromis are hardy and able to survive a wide array of aquarium conditions. They are related to damselfish and clownfish.This lovely fish at first resembles the Vanderbilt chromis; it is a yellowish green over its whole body with blueish dots running along its flank. However unlike the Vanderbilt it lacks the dark edging to the fins.It is found in large schools in the Indo-Pacific.Grows up to 2.75 inches.
The Lined Clown goby is a diminutive darling with an attractive high-contrast color scheme. Its body is a light dusty grey with two thick darker stripes in a charcoal to dirty navy blue color. Its face and tail are covered in adorable dark freckles. It is also known as the black and white, and the white lined goby. Males and females are visually identical. It grows up to 1 inche; we recommend an aquarium at least 5 gallons, or at least 10 gallons for a pair.Clown gobies are entertaining little fish who spend most of their day out in the open where they may be enjoyed. They typically perch on top of rocks or coral, or even use their fins to stick to the aquarium's glass. This suction cup-like fin allows them to be comfortable even in very high-flow environments.In the wild they make their home in the branches of SPS corals, mostly Acropora, however it is not necessary to duplicate this in the aquarium. If a pair is kept with these branching corals they may use the coral as their nest, clearing away a small area of its polyps so they may lay their adhesive eggs on the coral. This does not harm large established colonies, but may be too stressful for small or weak corals. In the aquarium a clown goby may host with any number of corals that it would not associate with in the wild, making a very interesting display. They do not hurt the coral but rather enjoy spending time within its tentacles.Most clown gobies are scaleless, and their smooth skin is covered in a noxious mucus that gives them a foul taste. Most predators would spit them out, however caution should still be used when combining the clown goby with large-mouthed fish, as greedy predators may still swallow them.Clown gobies are not prone to jumping from open top aquaria. They may be territorial towards other clown gobies, so we recommend they all be added together to a sufficiently large aquarium at the same time. They are typically peaceful with all other types of fish.Clown gobies are primarily carnivores and their diet should include plenty of high quality meaty items, marine algae, Spirulina, and frozen Mysis shrimp. It is preferable to feed at least twice a day. Frozen food is best, however in time they may learn to eat dry foods.As one of the largest families of fish there are near countless varieties of gobies which inhabit every different niche on the reef. They are coral safe and typically quite active and friendly with other fish. They have the ability to change sex to form pairs, although they don't always do so. Most gobies are imported from the Philippines.Gobies 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, etc.

They may eat small invertebrates, especially shrimp, but do not bother corals or anemones. Due to their relatively shy demeanor they should not be kept with aggressive tank mates. They have very small mouths and may be difficult to feed, so frequent feedings of a wide variety of foods should be offered thorough the day. We only recommend this species for experienced aquarists. They are coral safe, but larger individuals may attack small invertebrates such as shrimp, snails, urchins, worms, bivalves and serpent stars.br />At night time or when threatened these wrasses will dive into the sand for protection. They can even swim under the sand to avoid predators. It is not uncommon to find the wrasse laying on top of the sand to rest during the day. 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 wrasse dives in.The Lined Tamarin is gifted with incredibly contrasting patterns over its entire body. Over a background of inky black are countless snowy white dots arranged in horizontal lines from its nose to the base of its tail. Its caudal fin has a crescent of pure white and another of solid black. Mature fish may develop into males, whose body changes from black to maroon. It grows to 4.5 inches and needs an aquarium of at least 70 gallons.
