coral

Hi all! While transporting my hammer coral to my reef tank it got a little bit damaged, it lost two of its tentacles. White slime/mucus is coming out of the affected area. Should I worry, will it heal fine? Thanks!

I Have a Red Sea led 50. Used with mounting arm $160

I havent found a lot of material on this, and i was curious what kind of experiences people have had with this. I feel like its a rarher rare occurrence which means it is either not talked about enough or is disregarded as being something else that isnt palytoxin. Recently i had a palytoxin...

…and thank you. Purchased from local Reef store specializing in Corals two weeks ago…was dipped day before I purchased. Not sure what’s happening here. Looks as though skeleton is beginning to protrude. Have had in light / moderate flow, feed reef roids (mixed with Reef Energy plus) twice this...

Hi everyone, I believe the base of my yellow Fiji leather has rotted! I'm not too sure exactly the steps I should be taking next and was wondering if you can help me out. I purchased the yellow Fiji leather about a month ago and I've always noticed it's been slumped over. Even in the store I...

I’ll keep this build thread short and sweet. I currently live in a 50 gallon mixed reef lagoon system. this system is about six years old and my sand has completely ticked me off which has cause neglect which has in turn caused it to all turn to limestone due to my dosing schedule. SO…. I have...

Hi , new to saltwater tanks ! I have this coral or polyp thing that popped up on some live rock. Can anyone identify the species? Im in Northern Australia Many thanks!!

So these white dots started on one snail shell and have multipled. I am new to fish and I had someone helping me, but they haven't been able to help with this so I am turning to this group to see if I can find an answer. The water parameters are good and I do weekly water changes. The fish...

Hello, I am breaking down my 15g waterbox and am looking to get rid of the livestock. Coral wise, I have a few mushrooms (small jawbreaker), ricordea, and yuma. 2 nice torches. Candy cane, pink goni’s. 3 btas, a blue raven blasto and an orange plate coral. I also have a Picasso clown, exquisite...

Hi all. I bought this frag a week ago. Seemed to be doing ok where I put it but last day or so polyp extension doesn't look as good. I know white tips means it's growing but the actual.... not sure what to call it... skeleton let's say... also seems quite right. Is this bleeching or is that...

3 days in and my torch coral still won’t open. Someone on reddit said that the exposed spiky skeleton bit you can see under the polyps means that the coral is pretty much going to die. I’m not sure how as it looked good in store and I just dipped it then put it in the tank. Don’t have many...

Hello. I have these really cool anemones I originally got them about 2 years ago from a local tank breakdown, he said he originally got it from TSA 8+ years ago, he had over 20 of them and I paid a pretty hefty sum to grab them all. I was told by the owner of TSA that these are dayglow...

I just set up my aquarium and I got an AI prime reef led, my question is: What is a good percentage of color for Soft, LPS, and SPS corals that looks like natural sunlight? This is my first reef aquarium and I’m new to this light and lighting percentage scale. I don’t like the blue and purple...

So I obtained these nems and they were a decent deal as I didn’t have any RBTA. But being they were a deal they were very pale almost pastel color. Would have been fine with that as it would have been a pop to the other nems I’m setting a tank up for. They ended up darkening up tho but also...

Hellooo everyone. Curious if anyone has any idea what may be causing my corals flesh to become discoloured. It's normally the beige colour you see, but I have noticed, lately, that it has darker brown splotches. The coral heads still open, but not like they used to - the heads look quite tubeish...

Can anyone please help me identify these 3 SPS corals? Thank you.

Does any one know what it is that’s growing out of my live rock? Bought it about 6 weeks ago and it’s been growing bit by bit but not sure what it is. I am assuming some sort of coral but not sure if it is and if so what kind. If it is coral would like to help it grow. Any ideas?

Hi, I have had these corals for a year & am now losing heads very quickly. They’re disintegrating into slime & washing away. A week back, I lost one head & the nitrates were well above 40 by my testing kit, but tap water (well) was reading a yellow that corresponds with 20. I’ve been doing water...

This just showed up in our tank one day. It pops out from one of our rocks and we aren’t sure what it is!

Have a couple thoughts what I think it is but what do you? About half of it is dark brown and half dark green.

I've had a 20long tank up and running for a little over a year now with a mix of corals and a couple small fish. I decided I wanted to turn this long shallow tank into just a coral garden and bought a larger tank to do essentially fish only, and moved all of my fish over to that. I then...

Hello, I have this coral for about 3 weeks, and something weird is happening. Since it is my first tank I don’t know to diagnose it. Please help

Hi all, Hoping someone can help me with identifying this coral, and potentially a better place to place it in my tank. I was originally thinking it was a goniopora (from some basic googling) but now not sure! We’ve had it for maybe six weeks now and it’s generally only half out or not out at...
