I started my reef tank back in April and it has been nothing short of a nightmare from the get go. I added a pair of clowns to the tank a few days after the startup bacteria to help with the cycling process. I elected not to QT the fish since there was nothing else in there to contaminate at the...

Hi, 4 days ago one of my cleaner shrimp suddenly died. I noticed that he lost appetite but didn’t think much of it. 1 day later I found him death between two rocks. Didn’t really see a cause of death on the little corpse. Then 2 days ago the other shrimp started to act the same. He seems really...

Hey guys i have several fish that are presenting with symptoms that i feel could be described by several different dieases so im having a real hard time figuring out what it is and how i should act from here. My Midas has like a white dusting around his head area with white strings coming off...

I've had this PBT in quarantine with a Foxface for the last 45ish days after using hybrid TTM to treat ich. My DT is fallow, has been at 82 degrees and has been fallow 60 days as of today, so the plan was to reintroduce him today. This morning I noticed these brown blotches on his skin. Are...

Hi everyone. Out of nowhere I noticed that almost all my LPS corals (except Euphyllias) have small "bumps" of mesenterial filaments hanging around tissue edges, and those edges look like they're slightly swollen or something and like they are receding. It's a large system with literally hundreds...

Hi all, My clowns have this thin layer of white particles/film. They have had for some time now. Is this velvet? What should be my next steps? TIA!

I have a like new Pentair 80w UV . In excellent condition, will come with plumbing as I had it, all items as new, and a wall mount kit. Works great and huge discount from new! Will ship for a fee, would prefer local as it's so big. Still have the original box.

Just got back from LFS and got it in the tank and noticed this. If it is a disease or ich please let me know how to treat it/what product to use. Thanks!

Hey everyone, so my tank finally finished cycling after about a month and i just got my two first fish yesterday which i'm very excited about! But im now noticing that my smaller clownfish is generally swimming at an angle and it's making me a bit worried that he may have something wrong with...

I got this anemone almost a week ago and it's been in my quarantine. I'm pretty sure it ate about 4 days ago. Sometimes it will completely deflate in the middle of the day and now it's doing this! What do I do? What's happening?

Hey there, We’re trying to identify whether we have a problem here. The Blue Hippo Tang has small white spots and we cannot tell if this is Ich or not. Everything in the tank has been quarantined after a 76+ day fallow period of this DT. Separate tank for QT. Just wondering the best way to...

Hello! In need of help, my birdsnest coral has always been relatively hardy and healthy, but lesions appeared on it about two days ago and have grown on the branches. I’d love some advice/help as to what I should do. Pictures attached of the lesions/white area of dieback.

Hello everyone! Long time lurker here. I have a female clarkii clownfish that has been sick for a LONG time now. It’s been at least 1.5-2 months of symptoms with no serious development. I called the LFS and they were not helpful, I’m surprised she’s still alive. She floats near the top, has...

I have 3 LPS corals currently, and all of them are slowly losing flesh along their sides, but seem to show no ill effects. I JUST received this NY Knicks torch. It acclimated almost immediately and looks awesome, but you can clearly see where the flash has gone up in ONE day. I also have this...

So I noticed white patches or bumps on my tangs today. I had observed them in a QT tank for a few weeks before moving to my DT and had only treated with General Cure because I had noticed something dark on one fin of my white tail bristletooth the size of a grain of rice. They have been in my...
