Hello, Little background, I have a community Wrasse tank with about 6 wrasses in it. 5 different types of leopard wrasse and a Radiant wrasse. The radiant wrasse has always rubbed and itched on rocks since I got him more than any fish I have owned before. I have had him for about 8 months now...

Hey guys, basically this is the situation. A few months ago, I purchased two Ocellaris separately, within a week or two of eachother. For whatever reason after seemingly pairing the female began attacking the smaller male, so I eventually removed the female clown and placed her in my 8.5...

Hye guys, when I first ever got Trochus Snails I thought I had found the best thing since sliced bread. They literally cleaned the entire tank in a matter of weeks. Since having a few die, etc. I finally went back to the LFS for a cleanup crew (even though I'm there every second day pretty much...

Any ideas of what this may be? He doesn't appear to be sick, he's a finicky eater but is demolishing all Majano anemone.

So we got a Royal Gramma on 02-04-18 and it has been in QT ever since (thank god). He came and immediately presented with symptoms of flukes (up at the top of the water, breathing heavy, began to get cloudy eyes, fin rot/deterioration). Started to treat for flukes with fresh water dips (2 of...

Just picked up two new clowns last Friday from a local fish store. The pair was already in the same tank and I purchased both. One is a Mocha Ocellaris and the other is a Midnight Ocellaris. There is some aggression from the Midnight, as he is quite a bit larger than the Mocha. I noticed a day...

I've two fish in a 5 gallon QT for 17 days, a Mimic Tang and a Midnight Angel. Both have been getting along well and and eating frozen mysis, marine angel formula, and seaweed. Last night I came home to the tang lying on his side and breathing heavily, he expired a few hours later. This...

I recently got a yellow tang from my local pet store, and it has been developing some dark splotching on its’ scales. Is it Black Ich? I don’t know exactly what it is and i have no idea how I could fix this. Anything helps you guys!

I have a fairly new 90 gal mixed reef tank; started up in August. Lost a couple of fish along the way but everything doing well for the most part. In the past 2 days I’ve had two Tangs, a Kole and a Powder Grey, die within 24 hrs of each other. I purchased them less than 2 two weeks ago from a...

Hi all, First time post. I have a Nano Marine tank with 3 corals, a Scarlet Skunk Cleaner Shrimp and a Black Common Seahorse. For about 2 weeks now, the seahorse has had a visible disease/issue with his eye, and it does not appear to be getting better. I have attached photos for a visual of...

I have a Lineatus Wrasse that I have had for 2-3 years. He was healthy and active last week. The rest of my fish are doing great as well as my corals. I went away on vacation and had someone feed my tank daily, probably overfed my tank. The first day back with my lights on I noticed him lying...

Hi There, Please can you help me out with a Diagnosis? One of my clowns (which I've had for about a month) had the other day what looked like Fin Rot on the tail fin. I’ve since been treating with Polyplab Crystaline Peroxide Salts on the advice of the Local Fish Store. However, since then...

hi all. I’ve had this pj cardinal in quarantine since I had an ich outbreak in my tank. He is currently being treated with CP and I noticed his fins have a black edge and are partially gone. He sits next to the heater a lot in the QT so I can’t decide if he’s burned his fins, has fin rot, or...

Hey I've got a gonodactylus chiragra that I picked up from a poor local store that had it in terrible conditions so I decided to rescue the little guy from them, anyway it has a small tan spot on the telson that I believe to be shell rot. I've done tons of research before and after purchasing...

What is it and how to treat it?

Hello all, I am new to this forum and I would like to say first off thanks for your help in advance. I bought a queen angelfish (about 1.5"-2") from my LFS about 3 weeks ago. Since his arrival to my tank, he's been eating very well and swimming around happy as can be. Up until 3 days...

I have a copperband butterflyfish on hold for me at my LFS, and the first day I saw him I decided to get him because I've always wanted one and I watched him eat mysis (I've heard it's hard to get copperbands to eat frozen/prepared foods). He looked great, he was active and picking at the rocks...
