I’ve had him for a bit and noticed he’s consistently got this white stuff hanging out of him. My guess is internal parasites but I’m not sure. I’m no noticing any other symptoms. What is it and how can I treat ?

Hey Guys Bought a second hand RedSea Reefer 170 - it’s an older model, so we’ve been upgrading to G2 system underneath and have hit a snag … as we have come across dodgy repair on the RedSea sump valved downpipe (the slide lock nut has snapped and cannot be repaired) The Actual pipe is a Red...

Not sure if I’m stupid and this is normal or if it’s something to worry about about? Both of my Halloween crabs have a medium sized bump on the larger side of their shell right at the “tip” I guess you’d call it, I never thought much of it and assumed it was normal but looking into my tank today...

Last night I noticed the spots on my skunk clowns, so I spent 3 hours getting them out of the tank and put them in QT and started copper treatment. Now tonight my white tail bristletooth tang has it and it’s much worse than my clowns. The problem is that my QT tank is 10 gallons and I cannot fit...

I'm brand new to saltwater, and after cycling for over 6 weeks, I purchased (Petco) and placed my first round of "livestock". I started with a clownfish, an anemone, a hermit crab, a turbo snail and a coral frag. All seemed to be doing well, until I got the bright idea to (carefully) relocate...

my torch coral has been closed for 2 weeks now and idk what is going on it might be because I lowered how much food I give to my fish or it’s splitting because I posted about this and my parameters were fine but they said my nutrience was low. Night time pictures

Hey everyone, I’ve had 3 fish die in the past 2 weeks. Two vivid fancy clowns and one golden Midas blenny. The first clown to die was my male clown and he never showed any signs of being sick so I thought maybe he choked on the shrimp I was feeding. But then my Midas blenny died out of no where...

Hi, my anemone got stuck in my power head but did not get shredded. I was able to remove the front of the power head, but the sebea was still stuck in the back and I had to cut a part of him off the foot is still completely intact. I’m not sure if he’s dead or if I should put it in my sump for...

Hello everyone, I need help identifying the species of this Chalice that was sold to me only as a "Red Chalice." With its correct name, I'll be able to research more about its specific needs. Its color doesn't do justice to the photo, but under my lighting, it has a really beautiful shade of pink.

Whatsup guys. Semi-new to saltwater. I’ve had a saltwater fish only tank before and quite a few freshwater planted tanks. I’m just looking for some constructive criticism on how I’m doing so far. I haven’t had a tank in the last few years, so I might be rusty but I’ve been doing tons of reading...

I have a clownfish that has been hovering slightly above the sand and now laying on the sand for about 3 days. I’ve checked for visual evidence of sickness and can’t find any. The breathing seems fine and it was never bullied. However, the symptoms still show signs of sickness. She eats but...

Hey guys, I am pretty new on the reef/saltwater stuff and have a 30 gallon tank currently running. I saw this 120 gallon bowfront tank with a sump and everything included listed for $500, offered $300 just to see and he said he will do it. He said he has some coralline algae growing and he has...

Hey all, Looking for some opinions on the cause of STN in my friend's tank and course of actions. All the montis that are undergoing STN were growing quite well, then started receding for unknown reasons. There have been a few acro pieces that withered away over time as well (some maricultured...
