Hi there, It looks like all I have is problems since I introduced a blasto frag to my tank. A bit of a background so far: I have a 13.5g fluval evo with 10lbs aragonite sand and real reef rock, the tanks was fully cycled and it's been 2 months since I introduced the first inhabitants: a pair...

Sorry for the long post but some opinions would be helpful in figuring this out. The past 2 weeks my fish have unexpectedly died. I have 2 ideas why but information online is conflicting. My aquarium; 90 gallons, 20 Gallon sump, its about 4 months old. I had a 75 gallon and upgraded to this...

I’ve had this clown for over a year now and I woke up this morning to a black ball/sack hanging off her gills. Lately she’s been more recluse then usual but I didn’t think anything of it. I can’t seem to find anyone with something similar online Can anyone please help me identify this.a

H2O2 vs Ich, via nightly dosing in display experiment. I recently bought some fish and snails from Harry’s Marine Life in LA. My fish went into my H2O2/TTM hybrid QT set up. The snails I basically dumped right in my display. I know I shouldn’t have done, but I was rushing. I usually do some...

I got these guys on the 22nd they Appeared to have appetites but slowly over the week, they just seem to be eating and spitting out food. The healthier one has taken on to eating brine here and there. The more emaciated (swimming vertical) one hasn’t had interest in any food in two days. I just...

So I just got these mocha vinic clowns last week. They seemed to be doing well, and eating. On eats and spits out the pellets or just eats the tiny stray mysis legs that float around after the others demolish the mysis. So little to no nutritional value. However, today I actually REALLY watched...

Hi all, I was looking at my yellow eye kole tang and noticed that his upper fun and tail fin have ridges on them. Is this fin rot? Not sure what could be wrong to causes this. His diet consist of daily strips of Nori, frozin PE mysis shrimp 3 times a week, and pellets/flakes the other days. All...

I think my Helfrich’s firefish could have a fungal infection. There is some discoloration on one side of the body, and there seems to be a swollen whitish area at the base of the tail. Additionally, the tail itself is losing some of its yellow color. The tail was bitten quite badly by another...

Hello, yes it's me with the flukes again I'm currently taking in a tank shutdown and one of the clowns has odd, pink streaks on her forehead. It has a color similar to Coraline algae, not sure it's exposed flesh She also has a small hole in one of her fins, looks like it could've been caused by...

My fish have flukes and I have some questions on treatment Is a freshwater dip necessary? How safe is it to treat with prazi pro in tank? I have various lps and soft corals and a pocilopora, no inverts except a snail and amphipods. Should I worry about the pods? How do I treat and for how long...

I've had this tank for 2 years along with these clowns, nothing has been added recently but I've noticed these marks on the side of the female clown. both of the clowns are in a qt with prazi and are being fed metroplex/focus coated food. What should I do? is this merely an irritation and I'm...

New reefer here. I’m the relatively new owner of an established tank. It’s got 4 fish, a coral beauty, one spot foxface, cardinal, and blue tang. They’ve all been in the tank a year plus. There have only been a few inverts and coral added the past 3 months. The past day the coral beauty...

Hey everyone, I am new to saltwater and totally cycled my 80g cube and Trigger system 30 sump. After cycling I slowly added 2 clown, 1 watchman goby, 3 PJ Cardinal, a Hippo tang and a Powder brown tang. Upon Adding the last 2 the tangs, I noticed first my Powder tang has mouth infection, THEN I...

I ordered a couple of fish from LiveAquaria: an ORA Picasso Clownfish and a Diver's Den Red Head Solon Fairy Wrasse. This was my first time ordering from Diver's Den. The wrasse arrived this morning with a white spot at the top front of its dorsal fin which I noticed while drip acclimating for...

I have a pair of clowns which were purchased from the LFS about a month ago. All has been well until last night they developed many fuzzy white spots. The other fish in the tank, a couple of Chromis and some fire fish show no signs. Could this be brook?

Is this ick? New to reefing, I purchased a stocked used tank. I got two clown fish this weekend and one just died this AM suddenly (was eating yesterday). The other appears fine so far, should I start treating with copper? If it gets full course of copper is it truly safe to put it in my...

I recently got a pink-streaked wrasse (Pseudocheilinops ataenia) from LiveAquaria. The fish arrived covered in small black dots. The dots are tiny (about the size of a grain of sand). I thought it was black ich (caused by turbellarian flatworms) and dosed the QT tank with PraziPro following the...

Hello, I’m wondering if someone could help me. So I’m doing the tank transfer method for my fish because I’m 99% sure that it got into my saltwater tank. I know it wasn’t velvet, and I know it wasn’t Brook, And they were white spots. I did a freshwater dip and didn’t see anything. This is the...

Hello, I have had this Gold Rim & Trigger in my tank for a little over a month now. The tang appeared to show ice spots but that seems to have gone away, but now is showing this symptom as well as my trigger. Both are eating, and not scratching on anything in the tank. I was thinking maybe some...

Hi all, Reaching out regarding fish disease that started after buying new fish. I was going to be out of town and did not quarantine properly and my Maroon Clown and Yellow tang have developed what appears to be velvet (not sure, see pictures). I could only get clear pictures of my clown...

Hi, I recently added a couple chromis to my nano tank and they sadly passed away very quickly. I cant imagine it was due to water quality or acclimation. Took a picture of one of the chromis and seemed to have black spots on the face. No idea where this disease could have come from. My clownfish...

Hi, I bought this guy the two days ago. I noticed this spot yesterday and was very faint. Today it has gotten darker and maybe pushing out against it's skin. I don't remember seeing this when I purchased it. He is picking at the rock, has eaten some seaweed and some frozen brine shrimp. He is...
