dying

Hey guys over the last three weeks my encrusting and happy Bill Murray SPS has been suffering from what I can only guess is STN. I’ve had RTN years ago, but this is completely different. It started with the backside becoming white but leaving the tips still colored, if that makes sense. Over...

We’ve been having issues with our corals, weve added a new recordea mushroom which is settling and doing well, along with a pink chalice which isn’t doing too great, had Zoas and gsp for over 2 months both of which have grown spread and the zoas are doing great. we did have a temperature swing...

Is this RTN? I got this coral frag for free and I'm not too knowledgeable about keeping sps coral. What does this look like to you? I have .08 phos 5 nitrate 8.4 dkh 8.2 ph idk my calc or mag unfortunately Redsea blue bucket salt 1 foxface 2 clowns 1 neon goby 1 YWG and pistol shrimp combo 1...

I’ve tried FB and looking online but can’t seem to find my exact issue…my torch’s and elegance are long time happy residents. Up until the last 2…3…weeks. I was bringing my tank back up from 0.0 nitrate and 0.02 phosphate (now 6.0 and .04) However over the last few weeks I’ve noticed my torch’s...

Hello, I have 2 hammer corals and a torch that have been doing well the last 2 months (puffy) but recently they have started retracting. They have been retracted for the last week and seems to be getting worse slowly. I am not sure if they are able to be saved and am not sure why they started...

Every fish I add the last 3 weeks mysteriously dies. There’s no signs of parasite or disease on the fish at the time of death. So I had an orange shoulder tang and all of a sudden he has a deep slash on him and he was found breathing heavy in the corner, sadly died hours later. I had him for 2...

Hi, 4 days ago one of my cleaner shrimp suddenly died. I noticed that he lost appetite but didn’t think much of it. 1 day later I found him death between two rocks. Didn’t really see a cause of death on the little corpse. Then 2 days ago the other shrimp started to act the same. He seems really...

My corals were doing amazing. Last month I had a phosphate issue. My parameters are now just fine. They seem to be melting - losing the middle little bubble things (dont know what they are called) The light isn't very bright - it was I just changed it lower just in case that was the issue. They...

i added some green chromis stupidly to my tank without quarantine and my coral beauty angel randomly died i didnt take a picture of the body but she had a very apparent wound running from the top of her head down to her front bottom fins, it was a perfectly straight wound. ive been reading it...

Is my candy cane splitting, and how long will it take because it constantly has been like this for a while.

Hello everyone, I am new to the saltwater hobby, I’ve had a 20Gallon Long saltwater aquarium for around 11 weeks now. In the aquarium, I have 3 clownfish, a blue hippo tang, a damsel, two shrimp, a few corrals and several snails. I had a starfish and two gobys (did not have the gobys at the...

Hey! Tank has been cycled for 6 months, and was doing great. Had a gsp frag on the sand that was showing great growth, PE, and everything else. Then, one day after a 20% water change the polyps never come out again. It's been 2 days with them not coming out, is it dead? What could have happened...

Hi, I recently ordered a green bubble tip anenome from the divers den. Upon arrival it looks pretty sad. The mouth is wide open with white coming out of it? I am new to saltwater and this is my first anenome! I've had my tank for about 8 months and it has just been fish and live rock...

Over the last 2 weeks, I have noticed an issue with several of my torch corals. The tentacles near the mouths appear to be shrinking and curling inwards (toward the mouth). I have attached several images with this issue. This issue happened to me once before, and the only issue with my tank at...

Any advise from people more experienced? Thanks in advance!! So I’ve had this guy for like a month now and it’s been looking sad and droopy all the time. A couple of weeks ago the base of the foot started discoloring to white. It was faded into the purple but now it’s got a brown ring separating...

Hi all, Attached are photos of my giant mushroom toadstool (that I've had for 4 years) seemingly spontaneously dying? Parameters are all in check. It started sluffing off skin, now a hole has "rotted" as you can see in the photo. When I move it and pull the flesh off it definitely has a...

Hello: What is going on with my ricordia mushroom. I have had it for about a month bought at my LFS. I was doing great until the weekend - half of it seems to have died? everything else in my tank is great. I have 3 Yumas 2 from Seattlecorals.com & 1 from WOrldwidecorals.com. I just moved him...

my carpenters flasher wrasse is laying down on my acclimation box and breathing heavily, tomani tang is breathing heavily but still swimming, looks like the new chocolate tang took his spot in his rock so I celared in for him but as I am writing this he is starting to lay on his side. He had...

I just found my diamond goby sideways and thought it was dead. Come to find it breathing when I hold it upright. I have it in a small container to isolate and I put a small amount of food in the water. I recently put new fish and coral into HIS home. Could this be stress??? Anyway to fix? Help!!!

Hey guys, I received this Yellow Mushroom Leather Toadstool yesterday from LiveAquaria. When it showed up it looked okay, the typical stress mucus from shipping but overall okay. I acclimated and added it to the setup and it opened its polyps up pretty well and it looked as though it would...

I got my mexican turbo snail about a week ago from my lfs, and it immediately found a crevice in my rock and didn’t come out. A few days later he was on top of the rock, and in attempt to make him do his job I stuck him to the glass. He was on there for a while and when I came back to check on...

Was fine this morning, came back from the store and it looked like this. I just added in an urchin today, has been on the opposite side of the tank guaranteed! Also added in a few CUC today as well as an acan. Not sure what exactly is going on. It has some stuff coming out of its mouth I sprayed...

This all started with my speckled krak it went from open and happy to shriveled on the brink of death in about 2 days time. All my other zoas are quickly following and idk what to do, I’ve already dipped them in coral rx and did a massive water change and it keeps spreading. The odd thing is...

Hello all, just trying to figure out if my green bubble coral is dead or not. I know it’s definitely not healthy and it’s been like this for about 2 weeks now. I don’t know what’s going on with it considering my purple bubble coral and everything else seems to be pretty happy and my params are...

So I’ve had two Birdsnest for about a month and they’ve been perfect and now all of a sudden, one of them just turned solid white. It literally happened overnight. The other one is perfectly fine.
