coral

Hello! So I have a 75 gallon aquarium set up. It has a few soft coral and a few LPS atm. My goal for my tank is for it to be a soft coral dominated with a hand full of lps here and there tank. I don't like the fact that If I want to start doing two part, that I will need to to do mandatory...

My water paramters are normal my fish are doing fine and some of my soft corals are doing good but some are not. My zoas wont open and its been 3 weeks since they closed, A small branching hammer I have wont open and My Purple Chalice coral is beginning to bleach

I have a nano tank build, Lifeguard 7g, which is primarily a softy tank. I have a piece of rock sitting from and center that I’d like to put something eye catching on. Being such a small system I’m weary about doing any SPS or LPS but I’d like something fast growing, hardy, eye catcher, and not...

My friend has been running a 20 gallon tank for about 6 months now. After moving too fast and crashing his tank already he has asked for my advice to slowly restock his tank. It has been 3 months since the crash and he has since added a cleanup crew and 3 small fish. His nitrates aren’t perfect...

Hey guys! Starting up a 10 gallon - IM Fusion nano reef tank. Planning on mixed soft, LPS, and SPS corals. I have a AI prime 16 HD at the current setting (see picture). Is this going to fry my corals? Will start it with 50% acclimation over 30 days when I do add the coral. Thanks!

I have what I believe is just your general Pom Pom Xenia. I’m just wondering if it is normal for Xenia to just grow in single heads. All the ones I’ve seen online have been one base white many heads. Thanks In advance

So what's the differences between these two or are they the same just with one being the "fancy" name to charge more or what?

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

Hi everyone! After my tank with the dead rock has been cycled ( I believe this takes a month?). What is the next thing to introduce? Coral? Fish? Bottom feeders?

Had a question regarding wilsonsi corals from Australia I have recently purchased two from my lfs for a very good price and was told I could put them together to form a colony of multi colors does anyone know if that’s true or if they will fight each other being such close proximity, even though...

This was sold to me as a seduction zoa, just wanna verify it is. Either way, I love it.

I just got a frag of Neon Maze from AquariumDepot.com and I can't really tell if the polyps are retracted or in good shape. Does anyone have any info on what to look for? I'll follow this up with a picture soon. Thanks!

Can someone ID the white coral please?

We all have the same love for reefing but what’s your favorite part of it. I’m curious as to why everyone’s in the hobby or what got them into reefing? Is it the corals or the fish? Do you like buying a frag and watching it grow? Maybe it’s the whole tiny ecosystem you control and you can see...

So I snagged some gobstopper zoas recently and two of the polyps have a bright green fringe. I was wondering if it’s just a color morph or if they go by a different name completely.

Need some help with setting my lights proper. I understand they aren’t the best lights but I have only a few fish In a 40 gallon with all LPS no SPS. I have decent growth but nothing great. I currently have it set at sunrise-1-2 hours 85%white 50%blue 15%red 15%green daylight 6-7 hours...

Looking for any coral recommendations that won't grow out of control (GSP, Xenia, etc.) for the back of my rockwork. It's pretty shaded overall and tends to get quite a bit of flow, so I'm really not sure what would be a good coral. Any suggestions would be great!

Hey guys! So I have this nano reef tank (5 gallons) I had for about a year and a half. I got a new blastomussa Merletti, Green Start Polyp and Candy Cane Coral. They don’t seem to be doing that great like the other corals and anemone. I was wondering what can I do to help these three? Did I...

I found a nice piece of live rock with some copper banded coral on it. The guy at the store thought it was some rare sponge with an N name but he couldn't remember.

Hi! I’m not super new to the hobby but new as I’m the only one taking care of the tank. (I kept fish growing up but my parents cared for the tank.) I currently only have freshwater but want to get into salt. I’m moving states soon and wanted to start growing my corals for the tank. I was...

Just got the OK to put a reef tank in my office. I have done a 3.7 pico before, but it crashed after a year while I was out of state taking care of my mom in hospice for 6 weeks. This one I wanted to be in my office where I will see it everyday. I will be posting updates and am open to...

Are these specs ok for a 10g tank with a small polythoa coral frag? I would also really love to get a bubble tip anemone for my clownfish.. Are there other cheaper alternatives to T5 and the other well known lights? Anything under $40?
