Last night my Whitespotted soap fish was acting weird but I didn’t think much of it, now that the lights are on both the white spot and one of my maroons have something all over their bodies and cloudy eyes. Any ideas?

Walked into my room and saw my emerald crab “Austin” in the dying spider pose- he’s still kinda moving his front claws but generally not moving anything else and his apron is just open. I haven’t seen him molt yet and i Don’t think it’s starvation because he’s been eating both bubble algae and...

Hello all, I picked up this favia around 3 weeks ago and have noticed tissue reccesion over the last few days. it’s sitting Lower in my tank but direct light and pretty low flow. I know that corals can have a delayed reaction, do you think it could just be shocked from the system change? My...

I recently got a new clownfish. I’ve had this one for about a month and a half now. It is apart of a pair that I bought locally. When I first purchased the clown it had one red spot under the chin, but it looked like an injury. I thought that it could have been apart of fighting even though I...

Hey guys, I’ve been away from the hobby for quite some time(10 years) but am eager to get back into it. I purchased a 60g breeder as it fits my space perfect and it’s a big enough platform to have some fun with it. Much has changed in the past 10 years that I’m looking for some advice on a few...

Im assuming my dumb idiot jawfish ran into something pretty hard to hurt his mouth so badly. He’s been in this tank for a long time now, and he is normally very calm, so something must have spooked him pretty good. Is there anything I can use to help promote healing, and will this injury fix itself?
