    Why is yellow coral so common in the wild but rare in the hobby?

    Other than yellow colony polyps, yellow fiji leather coral and occasional sun polyps when I walk into any LFS there is very rarely any yellow coral. The few other yellow coral I do see offered is very expensive like gold torches, jawbreaker mushrooms, any zoas with yellow. But whenever I watch...

    Growth on Bottom of Duncan

    First and foremost, my Duncan is closed because my shrimp decided to walk on it as I wanted to take a picture. Otherwise, no idea what this is growing on the base, I saw it before but it’s been getting bigger and bigger. It looks like some kind of worm so I’m a bit confused.

    Whats happening with my Xenia?

    The smaller ones just disappeared? But now it seems like bigger ones have taken their place? I have had my tank for a little over 2 months. I am fairly new to saltwater. Still learning. Any help is appreciated.

    Wellso super fluffy?

    Usually my wellso is pretty flat and still meaty, but today it looks like a ballon. It is in lower flow than it was before, so does it need more? Thanks

    Candy cane (trumpet) not happy for months!

    I have had this trumpet for a long time, originally in a pretty low light 5 gal, until about a year ago i moved it to the big tank. Was happy for the first couple months but its condition has slowly deteriorated after a magnesium spike, and magnesium is still a bit high. Moved it to 60 par low...

    Fungia Plate right?

    Well I couldn't pass this one up for $100. I may have underestimated how big it was for the tank it was going in. Its been 24hrs now. Feeding response was good this morning. I forgot what the owner said but I'm pretty sure this is some sort of fungai plate coral.

    I don’t understand why I am having trouble keeping LPS alive in my tank. The common theme I have is I purchase a new coral and it initially is fine, however, they typically slowly decline over a few weeks and I watch as more and more skeleton become exposed and their flesh starts retracting. I...

    Are Butterflyfish in reef tanks misunderstood?

    A few weeks ago I made a post asking if there were any butterflyfish in the genus Chaetodon that were safe with coral. I've read many posts about some of my favorite species like the Klein's, Threadfin, Bluelashed, Latticed and Raccoon, where one was added and soon enough coral was eaten. Now...

    New to saltwater tanks, what's this?!?!

    Hi! My husband and I are new to saltwater tanks, and I know absolutely nothing! I've been trying to look this up, but not even sure what to look up. Does anyone know what this is, should we be worried, should we take it out? It looks more brown in person, not so much green.
