My flame hawk is a little pale atm not its usually colour obviously we just treated the tank as a few other wish had white spot we were advised to leave the treatment in there for 14 days for it to get around and hopefully help them all out its been 2 days since we have began the waiting process...

This morning I noticed that my hippo is favoring one fin. I can’t tell if he is injured or has the start of a fin disease. video is long - around the 2 min mark is a good shot. I was videoing the Anthias as well. He was introduced to the tank a month ago. He came larger that I thought he would...

Took a look at the tank tonight before I am away on a work trip and noticed some of my colonies showing some issues. Most are favia/favities. Not 100% what the orange one is, not worrying about and ID just help with a diagnosis. Haven't made any drastic changes to the tank lighting...

We finally got our UV up and running so thought we would try to start tangs. Introduced 3 to our 180 gallon. One of them was a very skinny mimic tang. After 3 weeks, we never saw him again so assumed he had passed. LFS said we had a huge cleanup crew so monitor levels but do not tear apart...

So I have a clown that developed a few dark spots weeks ago. My fellow reefers locally determined it was from my hammer coral stinging him. They did go away after awhile while I still had my hammer. now I currently do not have a hammer in my tank (for a few weeks now) and theses spots...

I need advice! I got this dottyback a few weeks ago, and I saw some white patches on its side yesterday! Above its anal fin looks weird too. I just put it in a spare 5 gallon, and am planning on using kanaplex with 90 percent weekly water changes. Is this enough? Any idea what the cause is? This...

2 clownish look this way overnight. They are swimming at the surface. My dog face puffer is scratching on sand and rocks allot. Any thoughts of what this is and what I should do?

Hello, I have a Timor erase that I’ve had for around two years now and he has been struggling for months now with something I would like help in identifying. He has a large lump on one side of him and what looks to be another lump starting out almost directly on the opposite side along with a...

Hey guys, this morning I noticed a white spot near one of my clownfish dorsal fin. There’s only one on it’s body so I don’t think it’s the ich. I attached a picture even though it’s not the best quality. It’s sort of crater like raised a little bit. Was wonder if this was cryptocaryon or...

I got an acro frag from a friends tank that was struggling (STN) hoping to recover it. eventually I dipped it in revive and saw dozens of small black organisms coming off. After microscopy examination, I ID'd it as Philaster guamense based on morphology and having microalgae (zooxanthellae) in...

I have a LFS that qt their fish but I am not sure if their process is completely safe. They have all tanks connected together with presence of coppersafe (2.00-2.50 ppm). They receive new fishes and put them into the same system. Is it possible for fishes that have been in the tanks get...

Hi guys, Me again - this fish has previously had flukes which I dealt with several FW dips, moving tank in between each one, prazi pro and NT labs antiwork/flukes and he has was fine after that. He's been eating fine and is very active. He had one of these warts before and thought at first...

Hey everyone I have a purple tang in qt rn and it has a single spot on its dorsal fin and has since I got it. Not gotten worse or better in any sense I’ve been watching the fish like a hawk. No medication has been dosed and the singular spot hasn’t changed. It also doesn’t really protrude the...

Hi all, need some help if possible ..my royal gramma just died after only having this guy for a month. Found him dead today, was eating fine as of last night but has been hiding frequently the past few days but coming out to eat. Had another gramma previously that only lasted a few months. My...

Hi everyone I’m back again , so I rescued a adult yellow tang about 5 inches but it does not have any dorsal fin or bottom fins will this grow back? also fish face is very white as seen in pic how can I help this guy

Just got a Fiji Puffer today and put him in to my tank while I went to work. He sat in a breeding box with a net that I use to reduce aggression and let the fish check out the new fish before adding (all day). I came home, let him out and he swam into a cave but I noticed some sort of sore with...

Hello. I have a newly set up tank and started with a filefish. He was doing well for about a month and then we added two clownfish. The tank is 26 gallons. The filefish mysteriously disappeared. Mind you the ammonia and nitrite had been zero before we put the fish in. Two days later one of the...

Okay so I’ve just upgraded my mixed reef tank from a fluval nano to a 170 I quarantined the fish for 5 days before over loaded the power in my house 3 times!! So I moved the fish over. 5 days the fish had some suspicious looking marks on the fins. Today i the tail is completely shredded, red...

Hello, So I had a small piece of live rock I wanted to add for my new angel from my other tank which likely has ich in it. I dipped this piece of rock in freshwater for about 20-30 minutes and then added to the tank. After about 20 minutes I removed from tank as realized perhaps the cysts...

Hi all, One week ago my cleaner shrimp’ gills started to turn blackish. At the moment didn’t really think much of it and after a molt it was back to normal. Then several days ago it came back and now it’s really black (see picture). I searched the internet and only found 2 similar cases where...

I was wondering if this stuff on my Midas blenny was black ich, and if so how would I go about treating it? I do not have a qt tank, and if it is black ich I’d assume it’s probably spread.

Hey all! I was fortunate enough to pick up a Sarcophyton elegans (I think a Yellow Fiji just not coloured up yet) a couple of weeks ago online. It arrived pale but in one piece. Unfortunately the foot of the coral has begun to disintegrate rapidly into white debris. The head seems okay, but the...

Hey guys relatively new to reefing and our tank is now five months old, so we thought it would be a good time to introduce the Elegance coral into the tank. It has been two weeks and all parameters were normal. However, since we noticed sand clumping, we introduced five conch snails. Now, it...
