coral addict

Aquacultured coral is coral that’s grown in controlled, aquarium-style environments instead of being taken from the ocean. These systems use stable lighting, flow, and water conditions, so the corals grow up already used to the type of environment we keep in our home tanks. Because of that...

After getting away from the hobby for the past 3 years when my daughter was born, I'm back at it and starting up my small biocube to keep things small scale for now while I regain my knowledge and learn the new things I have missed out on! Can't wait to see what it turns into! May 30th 2025 -...

This build round about started in 2019 when I moved and broke down my display tank and moved all my stuff into tanks. I bought a 210 gallon display and just wasn't exited about the build so I decided to sell it. And order a 340gallon display from custom aquariums dimensions are 8'x3'x2' tall...

Dark ring around the base of Hammer. I thought it was a flat worm at first, but it dosent move and seems to almost have polyp like structure. Coral itself seems very happy and vibrant, everything else in the tank appears to be going as usual. Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone, I started on this journey about 6 months ago. I was looking into starting a smaller tank but came across this tank at one of my LFS's prior to the official release of the mariner. Ended up snagging it that day and dove head first into the hobby. I wanted to post some day 1 versus...

Hello, hope you all are having a fantastic day! Need advice on this weird situation! Months ago I bought this hand coral and now I'm in the position of not knowing weather it's dead or alive and ontop of this there is abuildup of something around it! I slightly picked it up before and that...

Hey guys! Just thought I'd introduce myself here, I've always been interested but recently started collecting some cool pieces and thought I'd also post my adventures here in the forums. Would love to learn more from you guys and excited to be part of the community! Looking forward to meeting...

Wanted to know if it would be SAFE to keep rock flower anemones with Sea Horses? I have gorgon’s and pulsing Xenias but wanted to know if it would be safe to keep a rock flower in the mix

Thought I’d share my POV of the circle of life! Live peppermint shrimp getting eaten whole by my RFA. Never have I seen this, anybody?

Hello fellow reef enthusiasts! The Journey to a Par Meter: I'm thrilled to share that I finally got my hands on a Par Meter! After struggling to find someone with a similar tank size, I decided to take the plunge. I ordered the "Vabira Par Meter" from Amazon for under $200, a steal compared to...

Good evening all. I purchased this coral a few years back and I have not been able to ID this LPS( the orange one in the middle). It’s not an Acan, Bower, or Welso to my knowledge, but I could be wrong. The flesh is thin compared to any of those. I also had well defined separate polyps. I love...

I currently have no fish in my lagoon tank and possibly might prefer no fish. I know ammonia is a major thing which feeds corals which fish produce. I top off my tank with tap water only treating chlorine and not the ammonia in the water. Has anyone kept an all reef tank with no fish...

Hey gang, I just wanted to see how other stickheads and sps dominated reeftanks are stocked. Are your established systems heavily loaded or on the lighter side? For me, I have in a 140 gallon 5 tangs 6 clownfish 5 leopard wrasse Royal gramma Neon goby Yellow coris 2 pink streak wrasse Allen’s...

Hi guys, I'm a lurker on R2R that decided it was time to start posting about my tanks to gain more insight into this new hobby that my fiancé and I fell in love with. I apologize in advance for the long read. We started this adventure at the end of December last year after Christmas. Kind of...

IDK what coral this is but the polyp extension has been super great and wonder if it will explode even more. I’m thinking it’s a stylo but haven’t found any close to this coloration. purple with blue rings and yellow polyps. Would like to frag this as well

Hi, Mia there any coral/reef shows in Europe? Very jealous of what happens in the US

It’s for like a mushroom with fat tentacles but not a torch, I’ve also seen other color variations such as green mouth and purple tentacles

I am looking into a good centerpiece torch. I am just looking for the general information between these two and others you recommend. I will also have plans of fragging the torch so I want one that sells well.

As much as I need to chill on buying more coral, I also need some more color variation in the tank Definitly checking this sale out.

Starting off my scoly collection here’s my news ones I got, would love to see everyone’s different scolys!
