coral advice

I had a system crash in June within my DT. Multiple blooms of bacteria and algae. I removed most of my LS to my QT. While in the QT tank, my torch started to close up. On the day that the DT was ready for the LS, I noticed a strange film on the top of my torch. I removed it and placed it in its...

Hey reefers. I have a small candy cane frag with two heads. It has coralline algea growing on the plug it’s on. I am just now noticing on the places where the coralline is growing up the stalk the coral tissue is receding. The frag is doing fine and is open otherwise. Is the coralline algea...

So new to the forums and new to reefing in general and have 1 question that stands out among the others and that question is what the heck is on this frag plug I bought for 5 bucks from my LFS? I asked for some pulsing Xenia as I wanted something easy for now and they have me a big frag plug with a small...

Hey guys. I’ve been feeding these kryptonite canes pellets. I think I’ve been feeding them too much. I was feeding them daily. A few days ago they stopped accepting pellets and since yesterday they aren’t opening as wide as usual. Is this normal? Nothing else in the tank is acting strange. Even...

Hey guys I’ve been feeding my kryptonute candy canes daily. It’s a smal frag with two heads. Today they expelled the pellets I gave them. Am I just feeding them too much? They’re doing great, even healing from a small wound they suffered.

Hello reefers. I posted on here a while back asking about LPS ideas for my 32 gallon biocube. I have trumpets and candy canes (I know they’re probably the same thing but they have a slightly different look to each so I call them differently). I was recommended Acan lords and Leptastrea. I’m...

Hey everyone so I recently got my 55 gallon going and I have a few frags in it and after about a couple weeks they aren’t looking so well. I have 2 zoa frags and one finally just opened today and the other has not opened since I put him in there. I also have another frag that is starting to lose...

I just got these kryptonite candy canes a few days ago. They split between the pollops after bringing them home and now the tissue is receding. I’ve moved them higher in the tank where the flow is less and they’re about 8” directly below my light to get some good light. What can I do to help...

Got some new candy canes after nuking my old ones. Just blew some sand off them and it looks like they have a tiny bit of tissue damage betwee where the heads are splitting. Will they be ok?

So I purchased a watermelon favia coral a month ago and it seem to be doing well and all of a sudden today it got a hole so I got worried and wondered if they were hitchhikers or a disease or something else I just don’t want to worry my self over the coral if it’s dying Any info would be helpful

Hi there! I hope you’re all keeping safe and well. Okay so I need a little help and advice (sorry for the long post in advance). I’m new to the reefing world and I’m starting to lose my enthusiasm for it as my aquarium isn’t doing so great. Just to be aware I’m in the U.K. which might make a...

Hi i am seni new to the SW world. I have limited experience with ricordea. It seems my ricordea Florida has detached and is floated around the tank. The coral itself is very stiff. Still has its fluorescence and slim. I hope there is nothing wrong

**ATTACHED PICS** I have a 75gal reef tank with live rock, 3 fish (coral beauty, clown, mandarin goby), 5 coral (three of which are attached to rock) and a clam that is also attached to rock. I did a big move into a new home and because of the pandemic I wasn’t able to hire movers for my tank...

I recently came across Duncans and were interested in adding in the tank. I’ve read mixed reviews online with some people mentioning no issues and others cautioning against. From all I’ve read they are peaceful so was curious to understand if anyone kept or any info if they are compatible with...

Hello all! Hopefully this is I'm the right place... If it is not, please forgive me. I've been seeing a decline in only my euphyllia recently, and I'm at my wit's end as to what could be happening. I've tried everything, and checked all parameters (listed below). Everything else seems to be...

Hello guys we have just found this in our saltwater tank. We have just took it out, but if its safe we want to put it back in.

I haven’t really had a need for a CUC yet, but I’m getting worried as to what I should put in. Any suggestions for a CUC for a fluval seaevo 5 tank? Tank is below.

I’m sure this is super obvious but can anyone tell me what kind of coral this is? Sorry for the crummy photo, it’s at the LFS and they’ve got it all dark with blue light in there.
