My lawnmower blenny has been breathing strangely recently and as of today has started breathing with his mouth open.sometimes the breathing has been fast and other times it’s slow and hard. Tankmates are a single fire fish goby and a pistol shrimp that were added at the same time with the...

Hi, I recently got a Lawnmower Blenny about a week ago. I noticed he breathes super heavy and fast - the other fish don’t do that. I have 3 Nemo’s and a Naso Tang which I call “Lips” They all seem to be getting along and the salt levels are fine. I noticed though he cleaned up the amphipods...

Hi, I am relatively new to salt water reef tanks. I got a 80 gallon tank for free luckily about 8 months ago. About a month and a half ago I noticed very tiny like shrimp bug things and did some research and saw posts about centipods, amphipods etc and thought maybe this was them. But I am not...

At first I thought this was cyano but think it could be dinos because it recedes to an extent at night? Looks like a slimy film that is covering sand and sometimes the rocks. I believe that some of the brown/green is hair algae and my lawnmower blenny and pincushion urchin seem to have dented it...

This may sound dumb but today I was looking at my tank before I clean it and I see something I haven’t seen in my tank. I’m no saltwater expert but it looks like a baby star fish. I got the best photos I could but he or she is tiny. I never put any star fish in my tank. So it had too come in a...

I am currently setting up my Yasha 90 for a few sexy Shrimp but i am concerned that the in take will suck em up. Has anyone a simple idea can help me out ? I was thinking of a guardmesh or aquarium devider where i cut a bit to put zipties through but then i thought for cleaning later will be a...

I’ve had my tiger moray for about 8 months all has been great till this last week he stopped eating my thoughts were hunger strike as I’ve dealt with his pickyness in the past, the he stopped hiding sitting on the sandy bottom out in the open in daylight hours, someone told me to do a salt dip...

I recently brought a Branching Hammer, and it got exposed to air because my family likes to screw around with my things. The polyp was obviously dying when it got put back into the water but now i’m wondering if this is BJD. If so what can I do to prevent it from attacking the goni frag that it...

Hello everyone, I have a 120 gal reef tank and for some reason I can't figure out why my hammers, frogspawns, Duncan, Zoas, clove polyp, and Goniopora aren't opening fully. My parameters are: Ca: 400-450, KH: 8.1-9.2, Nitrates: 5-10, PH: 8.4, Salinity: .024, Alkaline: over 300. I have...

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...

So I am mostly looking for @Paul B advice but all advice is welcome. I live in NC and I have access to floating docks and piers. I'm looking for advice on what type of life I should bring back or definitely don't bring back. I plan on bringing back 8, 5 gallon buckets of water and 2 buckets of...

I posted this previously with some crappy photos. I finally got my phone to focus. I will be editing the old one also but I hope this gets some traction. Have had this white fuzz on my rocks and i have a feeling it killed off my hammers and it's moved it's way to my zoas. In fact the only hammer...

Hello all, I would still consider myself new but informed in this hobby. I have two weird growths happening in my tank. One of which is a white/grey fuzz on my rocks and I first noticed it on the bottom of one of my hammers skeleton (not in it or by its head at all)...I asked reddit and they...

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...

I live in the Austin Texas area and I’m looking for maintenance/cleaning and feeding on my reef tank and one fresh water tank for three weeks in December. I was curious if anyone had any recommendations on people who could help with this. It would be a once a week thing. Any help with this would...

Hi everyone, I’ve reached out on here a couple times before and had some good advice given so I’d like to reach out for some assistance again. Long story short, just got back from a week vacation, auto feeder dumped the entirety of its contents into the tank (dry food) and now dealing with some...

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?

I have 2 AI prime 16HD over my 40 Breeder. I recently got a par meter and while testing, the left light gives off about 100 less par (250 vs 350) than the right when ran at 90% a few inches below the water surface. I updated the software, reconnected the app. I visually do not see any...

I know my 32gal biocube needs some help, but I need some help helping it. Below I have my all my parameters listed, my lighting schedule listed, the chemicals I have to use, and the filter media I’m using. I have pictures and videos of my tank both at day and night so you can see how the coral...

Hello everyone, I have experienced a lot of success In the hobby over the last few months, with the additions of new corals (thriving) and stabilizing my water. I feel like I’m starting to understand and feel the rhythm of the hobby more and more, and I would like to dip my feet Into the sps...

When I came home from this weekend the light was off extremely dimmed. Which is unusual I check the power supply and the main block was hissing. I purchased a new one as I have had to do this multiple times. After plugging in the light the power supply light turned right on but the connection...
