My beloved Green Spotted Puffer has recently developed a swollen lower belly near its anus and been making stringy poop. He was doing fine for a few days and still eating, but recently stopped. He went a few days without eating and didn’t show signs of improvement. I’ve got him in a breeding box...

Hello everyone I posted a thread regarding this angel before as he has flukes but he was in QT and healed for 4-5 weeks and I made him fat before transfer into QT tank. I am assuming he doesn’t have flukes as I did two rounds and his fins healed up etc and he isn’t breathing hard or rubbing and...

My zoas have been growing great lately and have been acting completely normal. I noticed these white dots on them and my rocks near by while feeding. Any one have any idea what this is and what to do about it?

Hello there, In late April of 2024 I purchased 4 Dispar Anthias. They arrived in great condition, and took to acclimation very well. Knowing the challenges of keeping Anthias I readily fed them throughout the days and 4 out of the 5 put on good weight and looked very healthy. One of the 5 did...

My blue hippo tang developed this almost clear/ white spots along the spine and face. I’ve had him in qt for about three to four months trying different treatments. I have dosed Fritz coppersafe, pimafix, and melafix. Little to no result from all following directions on bottles. He still is...

Hello everyone! I did a bit of research on fin diseases and parasites before I dipped my Midus Blenny, in FW for 5 minutes to try and fix whatever is on his fin. It definitely looks like some parasite to me, but he appears completely healthy, after just getting him two days ago from my LFS. I...

Hello everyone, I have a question mu sailfin has these black spots they lighten and darken here and there through the day, breathing seems fine, eats like a pig daily Water parameters are in normal limits, phos is slightly high but still not too bad. Sailfin resides solo with a cleaner wrasse...

I have had this trumpet for a long time, originally in a pretty low light 5 gal, until about a year ago i moved it to the big tank. Was happy for the first couple months but its condition has slowly deteriorated after a magnesium spike, and magnesium is still a bit high. Moved it to 60 par low...

Hey all, Hoping someone can id and provide a treatment plan for my yellow clown goby. His face/gills on both sides are white, which I dont recall seeing when he was in qt. Added to DT last Saturday, no other symptoms at this point in time. TIA

I had two clown fish in my new tank for almost a month now. I acquired the fish as quarantined from Dr. Reef. Tank was cycled with live sand, dry rock, Dr. Tim’s bacteria and anmmonia and the only other thing I’ve added since is copepods and phytoplankton from algae barn. My fish seemed...

Hey all, first clown in brand new cycled tank. Noticed some white blotches along his body, any help is appreciated. The guy was a little beat up on his tail from the LFS, he has been staying in generally 1 spot all day, yesterday he was totally normal, but did notice white mucus like on his body.

I think it probably is, I’m just wondering what I should do if I don’t have a quarantine tank for it.

New to reefing fish help Hello, I'm not sure if you can possibly help but I recently got a tank all setup. I got it cycled with the Tim's fishless method which took me around 20 days. I finally was able to get fish this past Saturday I got 2 snowflake clowns and they've been great until...

I came back from work today with a new flame fin tomini tang and before I put him in, I noticed that my domino damsel, purple tang, and fu man chi lion all had white spots. I’m not sure if it’s ich but if it is. I’d like to treat it as soon as possible.

It came out around 1230 pm today and has been acting strange but picking off of my power head and also ate some mystis shrimp. It is...

One of my clownfish (wild caught) (that i bought 4 weeks ago) is acting weird. It is not coming up to the surface for feeding time and is swimming mostly at the bottom. I don’t know if he is exploring or something. He is just staying around the microalgae. Also this may be unrelated but both my...

I just got this puffer in the mail today, the bag had hardly any air in it so I tried to work fast. I floated him for about 10 min and drip acclimated him for I’d say 45min doubling the water volume twice. I did not net him or remove him from the water he did not puff up at all. He was swimming...
