Have had this coral in my tank for a few months ( not sure the name it was sold to me as a mushroom coral) and it seemed really happy grown heaps almost always opens up during the day (including today) however just noticed when the lights turned off that it had this going on. Any help would be...

Can someone help me ID this disease? I noticed a spot on this guys fin a few weeks ago but didn’t think it was anything until I saw this today.

Hi, Can someone please help identify or explain what this white string growing from my hammer coral? It’s attaching to my rock. It’s about 1-2 inches long. Also, it has some small white spots(2-3) on its body. Tank is about 3 months old. ALK- 8 Cal-400 Nitrate- 8 Phosphate - 0.00 PH-8.3 Thanks!

Evening all, I have recently purchased a purple firefish for my nano tank. The fish comes from a copper treated tank from a supplier here in the UK who did the QT on my behalf. Recently i have noticed that the fish has developed 2 large white lumps on its side and top, shown in the attached...

Hi all. I have had this clown exactly a year now. It's had this spot on its side since shortly after I got it but it's always been quite small. In the last few weeks it's gotten to be quite large and I'm not sure what it could be. It's never caused problems but lately he's been having trouble...

I had an ich outbreak in my DT about 26 days ago, and yanked all of my fish out of the tank, moved into multiple QT tanks. I have way more fish than tanks, and some would kill each other, so they are split over 7 QT tanks of different sizes. I consistently treated all of the tanks with Copper...

I have a Duncan coral, candy cane coral, mushrooms, and zoanthids. My Duncan pictured in the bottom right was closed up today, so that just makes me wonder if it is the Duncan by trying to host since he always has slept near it even before I put the Duncan in place. I also put a six line wrasse...

Found one of my ocellaris clowns lethargic in the bottom corner of the tank tonight. His color is paler than normal and his breathing is labored. I’m not 100% sure my clowns have paired yet, but they seem to get along fine and he is a little smaller than the other. I was able to remove the fish...

So I'm at a loss. All the fish in my tank died except for one scooter blenny I got when I first set up the tank. Tank was running smooth for the first 6 - 7 months. I had no issues and it housed a pair of clowns, midas blenny, goby and the last man standing the scooter blenny. The goby died...

Hello All, please take a look at the two pics of just one of my Lyretail Anthias harem. The harem was added to the DT about 5 days ago and this is the only one that is displaying 2 wide light colored "bars" across the side of the fish. These bars are only on one side. Luckily the fish is eating...

This morning when I checked my tank, there were no dots on this clown, but when I was checking this afternoon he was absolutely covered in them. I’ve moved him into a qt. Wondering if it’s ick or brook? I’m fairly new this tank is a year old and the clown I’ve had for maybe 8-9 months. I really...

Hi! Like the flair says, a little bit of an emergency. Within the last 24 hrs, one of my clowns went from perfectly fine to this either growth or wound on her stomach. (Or best case scenario eggs? I know that’s prob not the case… However she is the female of the two). Other tank mates that I...

Hello and Happy Holidays! My Powder Brown Tang has had these white spots for three weeks now. I first thought it was Ich and have since treated the tank with copper power (two weeks in with therapeutic level) testing daily and maintaining between 2.0 PPM - 2.2 PPM. Any ideas what else this...

hey guys so I’ve been fighting a parasite which I thought was ich for the last week or two. I was treating with polyp medic lab, running a uv sterilizer, feeding nutrient rich foods and I thought everything seemed to be going ok. At first nothing got crazy better, but it didn’t get worse. So I...

I added two clowns to my third marine tank. They are the first guys in. He had this spot come up in his eye and it seems to be getting bigger. Any idea what it could be? I don’t think uronemia which I had before on some fish. The white horizontal line is gone but the spot is causing his eye to...

Hi everyone, I’m new to marine and have recently set us my first saltwater aquarium. I have introduced 2 fire shrimp and earlier this week (Monday) a royal gramma. All water parameters seem to be ok with no ammonia, nitrate or nitrite present and the KH,Mg & Po in check. I noticed my gramma...

Hey guys , I am completely stumped & have tried literally everything I can think of , if anyone has any suggestions please let me know I hate to lose this coral I got from Unique Corals that cost over $500 Background: UC Amazeballs Goniopora purchased from unique corals several months ago ...

I recently got a juvenile blue tang and it looked great for the first week. I just noticed today some white spots on his tail and side of body. I’ve never dealt with fish disease before and try to buy from stores that quarantine. I know this blue tang was quarantined before I bought it...

A while ago I made the poor decision to purchase a baby ocellaris clown to pair up with my already established mocca clownfish. I Placed him in the DT (which I’m now starting to regret due to the better safety precautions of owning a quarantine system) and he seemed fine for the first couple...

Hey everyone. I just noticed these white lines on my black Mollies. Can anyone help identify?

Yesterday I lost a bicolor blenny, and after looking closer at my fish I noticed that my clownfish looks like it may have Brook or Velvet, could someone help me id and have any advice on treatment? His behavior looks ok for now, no itching and swimming around and he’s eating a bit. I hope it’s...

Came home and found that my clownfish has dots on his head and white specks on his body, I can’t figure out if it is velvet or brooknella. Can someone also please recommend treatment for the fish? Sorry for the bad quality photos

Hi all. About an hour ago when I was feeding my clowns I noticed this spot on one of them right at the bottom of the gills where the gills and body meet. Is it something to worry about? It's head also seems to be bumpy/indented on one side as well which I will include pictures of. I just so...

My roommate put some chromis i ordered into my DT Instead of QT while I was out. When I got back one of the five chromis I ordered had this nasty cut on it. I am hoping it isn't uronemea. Is it? I'm gonna try and look at it under a microscope tomorrow. If it is.. what now? (I managed to get all...

Hey there, Im hoping someone has a little insight into what this may be. I work at a saltwater store and we have been having tissue necrosis in our sps tank. I took a few sample corals home with me to check under my digital microscope. The first coral i looked at was a mini colony under water...
