Hello, hoping for some help with my blasto. It had been doing well, but last night showed signs of recession, and over the last couple of hours has progressively gotten worse. I love this coral, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Pics provided. Parameters- Salinity- 1.025 (it was 1.026...

I see what looks to be skeletal growth on a few of my torch corals. Wanted to confirm if this is indeed new skeleton growth? Not to much info on the web showing what torch skeleton look like in the process of growing another head. 2nd question I have a Goni with looks to be a feather duster in...

Hi friends, i picked up this really sad looking Cynaria at my LFS 3 days ago for 20 bucks. Any advice on keeping it happy and helping it recover? I feed my tank LRS Reef frenzy, and dose Reefenergy AB+ daily and reefroids weekly. Nitrates hover around 10-15 and phosphates are at 0.02.

My candycrush started fading a little about a month ago, it was happily in the same spot as it was in the first picture, which was taken July 28th, after noticing the “bleaching” I moved him to the more shaded side of the shroom box I had him in. The fading got worse and he detached from his...

Hello everyone! I am kinda new to corals and reefing and am having some trouble with my corals. I don't know what is wrong because my parameters are perfect with nitrate being the only thing that is a little high (by high I mean that it's like 5). I have also been testing my phosphates and those...

Currently I have a mummy chalice and a looney tunes stylo coral at top And zoanthids mid way up. An acantho to the left at bottom and a rainbow acan at bottom front. Fish: Clown Tang Red leg crabs Pink Fluffy Sea Urchins I’m thinking of some GPS at the bottom. What other coral would look...

After cleaning my nano tank after upgrading from IO to Red Sea coral pro salt (A1 stuff) I was scrubbing algae off a couple coral and seen a white skeleton growing on the underside of the pipe organ. Not sure if it’s an Acro???

Hello fellow reefers. I am having troubles with my motiporas. They have been in the tank for 3 months now and in the last couple days have started bleaching. Only that I have changed in the last week was lighting. I am using a reefbreader photon v2. I increase the blues and violet channels...

I bought a top shelf aquatics Sweet Heart Goni and it was doing alright when I first got it in the tank. I have 5 other goniapora that are in my tank doing really well from what I can see. Will post pics of those for comparison. Not much has changed in my tank since I put this new one in. But...

Hi guys. im pretty new in reefing, and i just got a frag of GSP and it has been in the tank for 3 weeks, and from today it hasn't opened. it got this grey stuff all over them, and i have no idea of what it is. Anyone who can help? Since than i noticed that my clove polyp got some of it on...

Picture Attached! I just got a Duncan a week ago, first few days he was doing great. But yesterday it completely closed up, today it’s tentacles are completely retracted and it’s mouth is open. Is it dieing please help. Water parameters are all in check, only 10 point down on calcium so I...

I have a 100g established reef tank. I bought this guy at my lps. It has been in my tank for 2 weeks and I have not seen signs of feeding. I place brine and fish eggs near it and nothing. My concern is the middle looks like a “dead spot” is it already too late to save? All my parameters and in...

Hello, got this frag as a gift but I’m not sure what it is (some type of finger I guess) and the coral is not doing well. when I got it (warm day) I took it home, dripped it and then dipped it (came super clean , not even a pod) then since I didn’t have frag plugs from reef putty I made a...

I am not sure what happened but my frogspawn’s tissue started to recede. My parameters have been consistent except my ato malfunctioned and my salinity dropped to 1.23 from 1.26. Attached is a photo it has been in my tank for 9 months growing very well. Should I move it? Does it do this when...

Hello. Any ideas what the white spot is in my coral. This coral has been healthy and spreading for months. The past two nights iv come home there small bristle worms On the same rock as it but have been told until there large or many of them they should be a big deal. I will include a log of My...

Pretty new to the reef tanking hobby and I have begun purchasing my first corals. This morning I noticed a hermit crab picking at this little red looking coral on the same frag as my mushroom. I didn't think they would bother my corals but I definitely seen it picking at the the red stuff (is...

I’ve had this acan for about two months now with no problems and when I checked my tank this evening I noticed several odd ‘bumps’ on it. They look like little white spots but each ‘spot’ is made up of several little pieces. I’m not quite sure how to describe it. (Will add a picture below it may...

Favorite encrusting coral? Hi R2R community! First time posting a question on R2R. I’m not new to the hobby, been in and out of the hobby for nearly 30 years since I was in middle school, but it’s been about 15 years since I’ve last built a system, and boy have things changed!. Over the last 8...

Hello! So I currently have a 55 gal FOWLR tank. It’s now about 4 months old. Has been cycled for a month or so. I am new to the reef tank hobby and I believe I have a decent handle on maintaining a healthy/happy tank. I’ve definitely made some mistakes in the beginning and have learned so much...

Just purchased this torch coral from my LFS and noticed some of these weird feather like polyps on the bottom of the coral. Are those normal? Or do I need to try and remove those before adding to the tank? thanks!

What is the swollen area on my frogspawn? I have multiple frogspawn in the tank and a couple of them have this swollen area on them?

Hi! So our tank is pretty new but so far has been doing good. We have two small clown fish, a blue tang, a porcupine puffer, and a peony's niger trigger. We also have quite a few corals. The fish have been doing great, but the corals not so much. Please I don't know what's happening or what to...

I bought a Green Pocillopora the other weekend. I dipped in in Coral RX and placed it into my tank in the mid level section. It was doing good but then my snails or hermit crab kept knocking it into the sand bed. I finally glued it into the rock. But it has never really opened up. I would really...

Hi there! First post, bear with me. I’m concerned about my bling bling cyphastrea. It was growing like crazy for a few weeks, then I added a 2nd CURRENT USA ORBIT IC PRO light to my setup, and I think that’s when it started turning slightly white on the edge. Here are the results from the tests...
