coral help

Hello! I added this finger leather a few weeks ago along with a toadstool leather and Kenya trees. The finger leather is not doing well at all. See pictures below, at times it’s stalk was long as if it were “stretching” towards the light, now it is small and limp. It’s never had much polyp...

I am wondering if Favia’s will do well in sand or if they’re better on rock? I read that that people who place they’re Favia in higher Places eventually lose colour over time, and to not have it in a high flow area. So I put mine in the sand beside a few rocks. But then I read a thread that said...

I have had a duncan coral in my tank since September now, and the past month or so especially it has been completely closed up. Can anyone help me figure out how to encourage it to open back up. It's one of the centerpieces in my tank so it would be awesome to have it back open again. Almost...

Have had my frogspawn for about 4-5 months now and it’s been fine it’s even gained some heads since I got it. I recently noticed this tube type thing stick off from the skeleton. It’s the thing to the left in the first two pictures. It’s hard so my first though was the skeleton was growing but...

Sadly I have to admit that I think I squished my blasto. It was one of my first corals I tried to glue down and after applying too much pressure to the plug the side of my finger felt a small popping. I know I damaged it as it has been looking bad since. Should I let nature take its course? Is...

Hey reefers. I’m looking at how much coral I can keep in my biocube. I currently have three zoa colonies about 15-20 heads a piece, a really small hammer with two heads, a set of candy canes with about 7 heads, one with two heads (bad shape), a set of paly grandis (three small heads) that I just...

Need help with placement of coral we are picking up tomorrow. 1 is sand or flat rocks on sand. Then we go on up to 4 where the most light gets. I don’t have an issue putting coral in the back of the rock structure. I will just post the type of coral rather then full names, if full names would...

Just got home from work and everything was puffy and nice, I’ve been sitting here the whole time and and nothing bothered it or touched it in general now it looks like this! It’s just the one polyp but that one is the biggest one of them all. Do they normally randomly shrink from time to time...

Hello reefers. I posted on here a while back asking about LPS ideas for my 32 gallon biocube. I have trumpets and candy canes (I know they’re probably the same thing but they have a slightly different look to each so I call them differently). I was recommended Acan lords and Leptastrea. I’m...

I just got these kryptonite candy canes a few days ago. They split between the pollops after bringing them home and now the tissue is receding. I’ve moved them higher in the tank where the flow is less and they’re about 8” directly below my light to get some good light. What can I do to help...

I just got this dragon soul torch 5 days ago. I’ve kept it in the same spot on the sand bed getting light to medium flow and lower light. It only really opens up partially and it’s tentacles are slightly transparent. Do I need to put it in more light or flow? Should I try to feed it some reef...

So I have a JBJ45 that's been running for a little over 6 months now and trying to get ideas on corals and placements I can add on with. I'm wanting to add to my reef and honestly pretty open to ideas! I'm planning for the bottom middle to have a clam, just waiting till I really felt...

So I found my torch with what I believe to be brown jelly. I have no idea how it even got in my tank as I haven't added anything in over a month and done two water changes since, but now I'm at a loss on what to do. I have another tank I've been cycling that is probably on week 4 now and I just...

So today my hammer had this clear like film/sac coming out of it and honestly really not sure what it is and haven't seen it before. Lately, it's been kinda upset because I'm still trying to get dosing down in this tank as I'm still learning. I also think it's in the process of splitting as it...

I started my tank in March of 2019. Things have been going well until recently. I've noticed some, not all, of my SPS and LPS corals' tissue start to recede. I thought this could be due to dosing vibrant so I stopped dosing it 4 weeks ago. My issues continued so I bought an ICP test to try to...

Anybody have any ideas what these red spots on my torch are? Not sure if this is normal or not.

I got these coral from my lfs as they were recommended from the employee to be beginner corals. They don’t appear to be doing so well. My salinity was at 1.030 before, but I since changed it to 1.026 after testing. All softies are flourishing though. Do any of these have a chance?

Hello I’ve had my tank for about 6 months and recently added some corals. They seemed to be doing fine the first few weeks. I recently had a brown algae bloom, but it settled down after changing my lighting schedule. One of my zoa colonies have closed up a bit and I noticed brown stringy stuff...

I started noticing these little curly things on my rock and Frogspawn about a month ago. They have little strings that come out of them from time to time. I removed one and it had a hole burrowed into the skeleton. I feel like I may have damaged the coral doing this. Help? First picture is...

Hey, so a few of my palm trees have these little “balloons” growing from the tops. The ones that do have turned a much brighter green then the rest. Is this how they spawn?

This morning I noticed these small white bumps on my coral and I have no idea what it is I’ve had it for around 2 weeks and it always stays open and eats fine. Is something wrong I checked my tank parameters and they where all ok. I have two zoan frags one duncun and one torch all have at least...

I bought a pretty big purple candy cane colony a couple weeks back and for the last week the tissue has been receding on a few heads and it hasn’t been plumping up like it was when I first got it. Does anyone have an advice on anything I could do to possibly help it recover would be greatly...

Got this coral on Saturday, been doing good, but I just noticed this crack like thing on it.
