Hi, My parents recently purchased this Mandarin from an LFS that is known for pests in my books. My parents picked it up and decided to surprise me with it on Sunday. I closely examined the fish before it entered the tank and it didn't have any visible diseases. I did a normal acclimation, I let...

Hello Everyone, I have had these two Zoa Frags for about 3 months now. One of them is always open and the other one hasn't opened for the past month. Sometimes he opens up 1/4 of the way but never full way anymore. Also Never Extends the polyps anymore. I dipped him last weekend and nothing...

So I use a kalk stirrer and have been using it for a year it’s worked amazing but as of recent it’s had two instances of dumping tons of water into my display tank, my kalk PH is 11.4 and I use my kalk reactor at night to maintain kalk at about 8.5 I don’t understand why it would dump all that...

My clownfish has a lump on the side. Not sure what it is. It's been getting proper meals, good water quality and good parameters. I got this clownfish 2 weeks ago and noticed the lump, I tried Google but no anwers. I'm just not sure what it could be or how to treat it, if needed.

Hi everyone, I currently have a 25 gallon tank with a VERY peaceful and active clownfish pair (no aggression with them, at all they do their own thing) and super healthy blue spotted jaw fish. The clownfish stay in their host and the jaw fish in his burrow, so I have some open swimming space to...

Hi everyone! I currently have a blue spotted jaw fish, and he is doing quite a bit of redecorating in my tank. All my corals are very well glued down and secure, and I can see him manage to rip it right off the rock every time - (specifically my branching SPS varieties). With the sand bed, I...

Just moved my mangroves over to a new tank about a week ago and now they look like this any idea? I read something about it petentally being a humor issue?

Hi, I have reason to believe my magnesium is extremely low. I do not have a test kit for magnesium and my LFS has just gotten a shipment in and was unable to get me one. The water has been cloudy I've tried filter floss and Vibrant. Also have been noticing a slight white film on the glass and...

This flatworm looking creature came off my lettuce nudibranch. I purchases this nudibranch about a month ago not really any problems with it until now. When I was checking the tank a lunch it looked as if it had laid eggs. About 3 hours later this thing has been moving around the tank. The...

Ok everyone I’m in a bit of a situation and I can’t figure out what exactly to do. So I got 6 peppermint shrimp a while ago and wanted them to eat some of the aptasia in my tank but after 3 months they didn’t touch the stuff. I feed my tank heavily and noticed they took a liking to eating all...

Hey everybody, so I have had an aptaisa infestation for a while and decided to get peppermint shrimp I can’t rember if I got 4 or 6 but either way they weren’t eating the aptasia so I’m going to get Bertha nudbranchs. I have managed over the past week and a half to catch 4 shrimp I religiously...

Any input is appreciated. My cleaner wrasse has an open red sore. Idk what it is or what to do next. I don't want it to kill my tank if it is sick. Can anyone identify this? Thanks

I’ve had two small mushrooms disappear, my LFS tested my water and parameters were in check but as I was doing a water change the other day I pulled an old/dead piece of my hammer head that had broken off of a large colony out of the tank to do alittle closer inspection. The picture is very...

A Friend of mine bought it and no longer wanted the frag so I got it off of him. Problem is he doesn’t know what it is he said he got it 2 days ago and forgot what it was. The receipt. Doesn’t state what it is either. I think I narrowed it down to these 3 but don’t know. Any input would be...

I don't know what light I should get, I want to have softies and LPS. I would like to be able to keep most types of LPS in my tank. Can you help me find a light, under $125?
