eating coral

Hello fellow reefers. Two days ago I noticed this WWC Crimson Stylocoeniella had some polyp damage on the top of the original frag / colony that has since encrusted down onto the rock it's mounted on. The structure it's mounted to is a floating shelf with a vertical face attached to the glass...

Hey, new reefer here. My Astrea snails are eating the plump live over tissue (that extends out of the polyp and around the branch) of my torch and hammer corals. Isn't this harmful to the corals over time? I would assume peeling could result as a significant amount of this over/rim live tissue...

Everywhere i look has a different answer on this. I’ve had mine for a couple months now and all has been well, but last week i noticed a couple polyps from my frogspawn floating around the water column which i found odd as my frogspawn was thriving, and one of them landed behind a rock and is...

Hey everyone, I picked up a warpaint scoly last weekend at Reefapalooza Orlando and only noticed afterward that it has a chunk of flesh missing, which seems to be worsening each day. I already gave it a 6-minute dip in Revive when I brought it home. I have a couple of questions: 1...

Hi reefers, I’ve been out for vacation for 5 days and found out that one of my torch has polyp damage. It seems to me that some fishes were nipping on it. Has anyone experienced this before? How can I find out the culprit? Here’s a list of my fishes: Blue tang, foxface, green chromis, bangaii...

Today I noticed that a few of my smaller zoanthid colonies were gone and a rainbow clove polyp frag I just purchased that previously had two heads now has two chewed up stumps. I suspect I know who may be responsible… I have heard mixed things about whether cow fish will nibble on...

I couldn’t figure out why my Duncan is receding so I put my camera on it for 9 minutes with flow on and off throughout. Tiny pods like creatures are running around at the base and I think those are what is irritating it. Does anyone know what these are?

I was wondering... what types of coral the Cherub will go after?

Hey guys, newbie here, Sexy shrimp has been hanging out on my Duncan for a couple of days and I noticed the coloration on the stem has been decreasing not sure why or maybe I’m overthinking it? Hopefully pictures aren’t too bad lmk if I need to remove him he loves to hang out on the frag rack. I...

I have a bi colored angelfish and it’s been nipping my Kenya tree is there anything I can do?

I have a leather dominated tank and had a few TOADSTOOLS frags bitten from. A Japanese leather was completely eaten. I want to know who is the culprit. All my stock (also have Halloween hermits)

I just bought some great corals from @acro-ed , but as soon as I started acclimating them to the tank, it appeared my blenny was nipping at them. I figured he was just going after algae, but could not see any algae on the acropora at all. Fast forward to today, several of the acros are...

Quick setup here, been keeping fish for over 50 years, saltwater for 6. have a mixed reef 180 Gallon with 40 gallon sump and refugium. Tank has been set up for a month, rock was cycled for about 2 months. Been trough typical break in diatoms and some algae, things just turned around this week...
