I just started my first reef tank a week ago and used live rock to help jumpstart the cycle. I’ve started seeing a few hitchhikers (including an aiptasia, unfortunately) but found this weird little dude. What is it? The most I could find is a tube worm but I’ve seen others burrowed closer to the...
I recently had 2 fish disappear so I went to check the back of my tank to make sure they didn’t make their way back there, but instead I found these worms. I have regular bristle worms in my tank, but I’ve never seen them with tentacles/ hairs this long that go from red to white tips. Any ideas...
I’ve had this guy for some time now, scored locally, all brown and dying about 1/6th the size he is now. no idea what it is and have wondered since I got him. He was flat flat but has some interesting growth now. I assume it’s some sort of monti but not sure. Pics in different lighting but he is...
Last two weeks my take has been taken over by this ugly stuff and I’m not positive what it is and I do not want to take action if it is the wrong ID and course of action. If anyone could help me figure it out I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks in advance!

I thought one of my kids dropped a marble in the...

Hello… Need some help… Can someone please help identify what macroalgae this is and what eats it? I have tried everything from sea hairs, two Texido urchins and emerald crabs… To no avail.
So I thought this was hard but it turns out it’s not not hard so i’m guessing sponge? What kind is this??? It just started growing in my tank randomly and I have no idea what it is
last night I found something strange on my torches plug. It’s been in quarantine for 3 weeks. I turned on my flash light to look at the tank to see if they’re were any critters or hitchhikers in the tank. I saw redish pinkish mucus substance just blobbed next to the corals base. Is this poop? Or...
