Hope you guys can see the video , I have one of those all black stomatellas (they look almost jet black but with some minor variations on shells) & I also have the much more common white stomatella with black specks all over it (sort of like cookies & cream) Today I caught them breeding (puff...

I’ve had two small mushrooms disappear, my LFS tested my water and parameters were in check but as I was doing a water change the other day I pulled an old/dead piece of my hammer head that had broken off of a large colony out of the tank to do alittle closer inspection. The picture is very...

I got this toadstool leather coral for really cheap from my LFS store 2 days ago and I’ve only had anemones and when I got it home I totally did not even think about dipping it since Ive only ever had anemones lol. I don’t remember seeing this when I put it in but it’s there and I’m assuming...

I have had this blue sympodium frag in the tank for about a month and a half. This morning I noticed this clear/whitish thing growing on it. Can someone help identify it?

So this is my first small saltwater tank-32g and having had experience with larger tanks I’m really surprised what this 32g requires, especially when you have a Mr constructive destructive pistol shrimp. However, if it weren’t for him dumping my mushrooms in the sand I would have never seen this...

Forgive the blues, this crab popped out during feeding time and I couldn’t switch over to my whites. Any ideas?

So I noticed yesterday that my galaxia coral had what looked like bubble algae on it so I took out of tank and got it off and then noticed this creature that looks like a Rolly Polly gliding under the plug . It has a hard grey shell that has some dark markings on the front and back of shell. It...

Hi all, I added uncured live rock to my tank a few weeks ago (unwise) I'm overdue for a water change & now see all these worms on the glass. When I zoom in on them they do have bristles...What do y'all think these are? Thank you PS The only live stock in the tank is a turbo snail & 2 of...

Hi everyone, this webbing-like creature appeared today in my sump at ~9pm. It was not their yesterday as well as today in the morning. It did not move as I inspected but I'll check it again tomorrow. Is it bad? Thank you.

I found these on my new frag, I will be dipping in coral rx but should I take extra care to remove these?

Hi. I’ve had my tank almost set up for 6 months now. I was looking at my corals and noticed this weird translucent thing underneath my hammer coral. I can’t see it during the day as my hammer is expanded, but at night when it’s closed up, this weird thing is there. it’s about an inch long and...

I picked up KP aquatics live rock from the airport about 10 days ago, and I've been having a blast finding new critters every night (all the action happens after dark, of course). I'd love to have ID help with some of the finds - I'll start with a couple of squishy creatures (nudibranchs or...

I have these white things on my live rock, does anyone know what it is? It keeps growing

Hi, I just picked up this frogspawn but it has this crab hiding on it. It is covered in algae has eight legs and is a light brownish colour. Is it harmful to fish or coral? If so should I just put it in my Fuge any help is appreciated.

Found these two little ones surviving in a filter sock. I don’t want to influence the identity by telling you what is in the tank.. Thanks for looking and your help!

I have a snail shell with a bunch of mushroom corals on it being used as a frag which I got for a freebie at my lfs as I wanted the coral BADLY!! But, the shell after being coral dipped already still has this type of bristleworm Inside it still... Could I get help identifying it and if it's a...

So this is my first SW tank ( had fresh water before ) it’s been about 3 weeks since I set it up and almost 1 week with clowns and I’ve seen afew different “hitch hikers a snail, something that looked like a really clear small shrimp that my clown noticed and ate, a small worm?, and now there...
