Live rock turning brown?
I have a 10g tank and everthing has been going fine, (other than finding a few assorted crabs) but I'm not sure why my live rock has been turning brown I just bought the live rock about a week ago, and it hasnt changed colour until now. I have proper circulation, and ammonia, nitrite and nitrate are all fine. Any ideas?
Thanks |

New tank? Diatoms, a normal part of cycling. They'll go away on their own.

Finding "assorted crabs".... what kind of crabs? Hermits or "bad" crabs?

I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds. |

Are there really any bad crabs? Or are they just misunderstood? I found some ugly crab while moving my rock, but felt bad for him getting yanked from his home so I put him back in the tank.

okay, so diatoms. and they'll go away. Good
and I have about 3, a brownish one which is about an inch and a half, a very small one that looks somewhat hairy, and a lumpy green one. also, while im mentioning everything, I'll say something about the orange and white worm that burrows itself in my sand. Are they the bad kind? or just misunderstood? |
