My female clownfish has raised red mark on her side. It's a raised red area that's pushing up under her scales. Wasn't there yesterday, it's sudden and looks pretty bad. Anyone know what it could be or have advice for treatments? I have methylene blue, API General Cure and Seachem Focus

recently bought the bright green octospawn, and it was happy and open for about a week until it started not opening fully. Newly added frogspawn is happy though, they are in the same flow, light, and all else, figure it is a chemical issue since it was happy when i first got it. At night it even...

Royal looks like it may have ich or something but I can’t figure out what it is. Might be on my clowns as well. Can someone help me please

Dear R2R community, Maybe some help with my new tank. 6 weeks in. Topped off RO last night. Placed 6 new soft corals in last week. Darker clownfish affected in videos. Lighter clownfish will occasionally nudge him at his belly to move or play. Last evening: Clownfish pointing downwards...

sorry about the bad quality, he's small and keeps moving but i tried to get a good picture of him. there are white dots around his mouth and i saw another small dot next to his side fin. I'm worried this is something bad. the other clownfish looks heathy and clean, I've only had them for a...

Tank almost wiped out and not sure if it was Velvet or Ich TLDR at bottom Some context - 2x Clown Fish, Cleaner Shrimp, Yellow Tang, Blue Tang, Royal Gamma, Cherub Angelfish, last one I don't remember look a Blenny or a Jawfish. I recently added the Yellow Tang and a snail that didn't move...

Hi there! I recently set up a new tank, it has been running for two months and is finally cycled. Last week, I put in two snails, some xenia, and two mushrooms. Today, I rinsed off my new powerhead and placed it into my tank, and now my xenias are all closed. It is the same one i had before...

Hi Everyone, firstly I appreciate any help and/or advice you can provide. Pretty stressed out right now about the state of my tank and am unsure of where to go from here. A bit of background, my tank has been established for around 2 years now, most of which has gone smoothly. There was some...

Firstly, APOLOGIES as I know there are a million and one threads already about Ich treatment and management etc but I read so many I then get lost as to what to do so I thought I'd explain my situation and see if there is any specific advice to me... So new marine tank had Ich after about 2...

Hi everyone, I have had a pair of clowns for about 2 years, and over the last two days I noticed some white splotches on the smaller one. It’s been eating normally and hasn’t had any noticeable change in behavior, but I’m worried that it could be a disease. There haven’t been any new fish...

Hi All, need some help with diagnosis of a new dog faced puffer added to tank about a week ago. Seems healthy and eating and swimming well but just noticed these small white dots and it panicked me slightly… many thoughts more that welcome, thanks in advance C.

Hey everyone, first post here! I just set up my saltwater tank, got it cycled and added my first and only fish, a firefish goby. My plan with the tank was to add the first fish directly and then set up a QT for all the fish afterwards (realizing that was a poor choice). I got the firefish and he...

Hi! My clownfish has been acting a bit weird he is just parking in one corner of the tank, time to time, he swims to the bottom or the top of the tank in that same corner, he is eating well, and he is not having any trouble breathing, does not have any visible ich or velvet. But I don't know I...

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.

Hey everyone, I’m pretty new to reefing and i’m eager to learn more. I just got this 30 gallon aquarium a little under a month ago, started the cycle with Dr. Tims one and only with ammonia and followed the instructions. It started really good, until now, or so I think. I seem to have some sort...

Last week, I posted a thread asking for help with a splotchy white discoloration on one of my clowns. Here’s the link to the thread: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/sudden-discoloration-in-clownfish-otherwise-acting-normally.936085/ The prevailing opinion seemed to be that it was brook. I...

Got home tonight and the smaller of my clown pair was looking like this. Could it be brook or velvet? It and all of the other fish in my tank are acting fine.

My blue throat fairy wrasse has had a white shine in his eyes at certain angles since I purchased him a few weeks ago; however, nothing ever came of it, and he has been acting completely fine. Today I noticed a small white patch on the upper edge of his left eye that I don’t believe was there...

Hey everyone, I have had a small clown in qt for 8 days. The tank had been cycled and is currently sitting at 2.5 ppm copper power. I did a dose of GC on aug 8 and I al going to do the second one tmrw. Currently I noticed that there is a white growth near the gill/face. Not sure what it is but...

Just got some of my first corals the other week. Got this coral yesterday and the employees at the shop weren't certain what kind of coral it was. They said it was some sort of favia. Anyone know a more specific ID so I can research the best care for it? I also noticed these dark spots on it...

Went on a family vacation and came back and my little guy was looking rough. I set up a QUICK quarantine tank (I am doing another one with no sand this was just an oh crap moment). Is this a bacterial infection or fungal or possibly something else? Any answers would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all, I have a fairly well established FOWLR tank I've been trying to add a bubble tip to. The tank has been up for 2 years and was intended to be all nem/no coral. I originally tried about a year and a half in. What had happened was that the anemone was out and bubbled up for about 1.5-2...

Hey there, We’re trying to identify whether we have a problem here. The Blue Hippo Tang has small white spots and we cannot tell if this is Ich or not. Everything in the tank has been quarantined after a 76+ day fallow period of this DT. Separate tank for QT. Just wondering the best way to...
