So I started out this hobby after having a freshwater for a long time.
For some reason, one of my shrimps died today, at least that's what I assume, he's somewhere hiding (I can see him) and he isn't moving. He hasn't come out for a day. The other one doesn't seem to be too keen about eating...
I've had my tank up for about 3 months or so now - before that my dad had it up for years and everything was transferred over. I say that just to make it known that it's not really only 3 months old. It's a Red Sea Reefer 350 with 2 MaxSpect Jump 165 led's and it has a refugium and a Reefer...
I have two frags that I’m not sure what they exactly are, and I also have a blastomussa which may have aiptasia but not 100% sure. I’ll put the links to videos below. Thanks in advance!

Lf any help I can get lol getting frustrated with this hobby despite the love I have for it!
My understanding is that these two corals you can throw in a toilet and they would live, so what is going on? Parameters in picture.
4 month old tank.
Salinity ranges from 1.025-1.026
Nitrates are high...
I had the pleasure of shopping at Southwest Aquaculture, and when I say they not only take amazing care of their coral that is aquacultured in house, but the customer service is out of this world! They are very helpful with information about the corals and put the customer first based on their...
Hello all, I have recently added my first fish to my 30-gallon tank about 2 weeks ago and now I have caught the itch for coral. I don't think that my light is good enough for any coral, It is a Fluval Aquasky (I know, not good, but it was included with the tank I bought). I am in the market for...
Hello! I have a 20 gallon running with live rock, aragonite sand, an AI Prime, and Reefflowers Coral Salt Mix. Right now I have lots of zoas and GSP that are doing great. The only stony coral I have that has consistently done well in my tank is the duncan colony. It is growing super well and I...
So my coral i bought a while ago maybe 3-4 months has been of late just always been leaning left and pretty much hitting the sand when it use to always be upright and looking good havent changed much at all idk what it could be?
I took off the rock for the sole purpose of a better picture but...
So I’m not good at aquascaping and I’ll own that. What I have works meaning it’s allowing flow and fish safe habitats. However I want to add more coral and just feel like the current scaping won’t allow me too much creativity for that. Like there is to much empty space.
To add to that I have...
Good day everyone!
i need help to define what coral is this on the picture. When i bought it i thought it was a zoa/polys. I’m new on this hobby and my tank is just 2 months old. I appreciate the response. Thank you.
Hey guys. I am fairly new and wanted to see if I can get some advice on if I am doing things correctly and where to go from here.
Tank is 2 months old. Finished cycling after 2 weeks, and added 2 clowns (Phantom and Misbar), 4 Nassarius snails, and 4 Astrea snails. Unfortunately the Phantom...
I got this coral about 3-4 weeks ago but it has never opened up big like the pictures of torches online. It still looks better than when I first got it, it was fully retracted rather than the little bush on top you see now. Is it sick? What can I do to make it more comfy?
Sorry I dont know my...
A few days ago I recently did a routine water change on my aquarium and when I plugged all of my equipment back in, everything seemed off. First, my Rainsford and Mandarin Dragonette were showing weird swimming patterns. The Rainsford normally liked to hang out in front of his hole but now he...

When I first got my hammer coral it was fully open and I got deployed and had my wife feed and do my water changes. When I came back home I realized that the middle of the coral would be retracted but the outsides would be open. I also noticed that it was in the process of splitting into two...
I have this coral and this bi-color blenny that seems to love perching on my corals and I have even seen him picking at it as if he’s trying to eat it. My first question was what is the name of this coral? I only bought it a month ago and forgot what it was called but I want more. And my other...
I got this coral back in May when I rebooted my tank. At the time I didn’t know I had copper in my system. The coral obviously died due to the copper.
My question is, does this coral look like it’s coming back to life after months of being dead and covered in diatoms/algaes?
As the lights dimmed and turned off I noted 6-10 of these worm start to come out of my live rock. Over the last few days I had 2 Acropora de- polp. I have checked my water parameters an all are good.
Ammonia-0
Nitrate- 0
Nitrate- 3

Have a 15 gallon Waterbox cycling and was thinking about what would be interesting to add. Currently have around 8 pounds of dry rock and 2 pounds of live rock, as well as 10 pounds of live sand. I will eventually be adding corals. Anyone have any suggestions for both corals and or fish. This...

Will dose AFR after a month or 2 based on test results.
Should I any of the below right now?
1. Reef growth - Red sea AB+ Or prodibio bioreef kit or seachem fuel
2. Reef health - Brightwell’s...
My trachyphyllia seem to shrink up more and more by the week. When i first got it, it puffed up like no other on the corner of the tank with very little par around 50-70 par. Then i moved it after 2 weeks to 130-150 par position with similar flow as the previous position. When i moved it i kept...
