idenfitifaction

Hi ID Experts! Thank you for taking the time to look. Here's something that we found last weekend while at the beach. (Lido / Sarasota - Gulf of Mexico) I added it to my main tank, but now I am second-guessing it since some responses to my OTHER POST about macros that we put into my Son's...

I bought this torch labeled as a holy grail torch and to be honest it doesn’t look like one and i cant find identification. Anyone have a idea on what it is? Pictures below are normal tank light then under full blue and full white then mixed.

Just bought this coral yesterday it’s doing well but I just can’t for the life of me remember the name of it. The receipt just says coral frag so that wasn’t any help.

Was told this is a “Green Tree” coral. Any idea?

Just noticed a few of these popping up in my tank i can’t really tell what kind they are and what’s the best method removing?

Came home and noticed this a spot on my vlamingi tang. It seems to be a circular spot with a black outline and normal skin inside. It sort of looks like a worm under the skin but I can’t be sure. Can some help ID what this is and what measures need to be taken? sal- 35.0 pH- 8.1 Alk- 10.0...

Went to my lfs and picked up this guy today. It looked flat in the lfs but now at home after lights out and deflated it looks like theres a bump in the middle. Wondering which species is this. Collected in Sabah, Malaysia. Slight concaved bottom and hump at mouth. Guessing its a cycloseris? Do...

I cannot figure out what this coral is. The person who sold it to me said it was a favia. Couldn't find anything like it really.

Got a poccilipora colony the other day. Did an initial dip in 100% perxoide to clear algae then 15 minutes in CoralRX which blew off some debris. 2 days later on observation I noticed a lot of very tiny (pinhead sized) spots. I pulled the coral and did a 15 minute lugols dip and a ton of these...

I flipped a rock that’s been in my tank for a while, I was gonna take it out and put it in a new tank but saw this and want an ID on it first lol. Only coral in tank is a cabbage leather and watermelon bubble tip anemone. It doesn’t look like my cabbage leather, and it’s also not a Xenia because...

Hi i got this cluster of zoa’s and i was just wondering if anyone could specifically identify it :)

I have this greens algae, plucks off easy, doesn’t like direct peroxide. Purple urchin slowly eats it. I have GFO running 0.17 nitrate 0.002 nitrites 0.01 phosphates calcium 400 magnesium 1380 alkalinity 8.2 pH 8.1 and salinity 33 ppt I want to get rid of it as it’s outcompeting my coral frags...

It's has like-rubber hard transparent casing

Hello guys, I have a serious issue with my tank for 2 weeks. It slowly covered rocks and corals one by one and now my tank was fully covered by a brownish maroon slimy thing holding onto its white strings. I thought it was Dino at first but there are no bubbly things on it and it’s sheet-like...

Hii, I just found some really strange strings behind some rock work. It literally has the structure of spaghetti. My guess is that it is some kind of a sponge. Any guesses? Thanks!

Help with the ID of this torch. It’s blue and gold tentacles with blue tips

Does anyone know what are those pink “beads” on the algae?

Hi I have three different zoas that I have no name for. Curious if anyone else knows? Thanks JF

Hello I got this coral from Petco a few weeks ago for 25 bucks. I’m not exactly sure what it is but I’m thinking it’s a Green Chalice. However the pictures I’ve seen of Chalices don’t have ridges like mine. I recently got a chalice and two monti caps that don’t resemble this either. Let me know...

I have been setting up a small NPS tank with my Fluval Evo 13.5 and recently noticed a small red object in the sand bed. At first I thought it was just a left over piece of Gracillaria or something but I took a closer look earlier because I noticed it had moved and realized it has lots of little...

Coral Id was gifted this frag and trying to figure out best location for it does anyone know what type of coral and the name of it ? Thanks

I woke up this morning and it seems that my wrasse has sort of white hairs ontop of its head. doesn't seem sick or anything just strange looking? is my wrasse sick? the wrasse is a ruby longfin fairy wrasse

Hello world, I discovered an unfamiliar snail in my tank and require assistance in identifying it, particularly to determine if it is beneficial or harmful. I have owned the tank for approximately four months and have never intentionally introduced any snails into it. The only possible way this...

Hi hopefully someone can identify this for me. I’ve never seen anything like this before. I tried to manually remove it but it’s surprisingly VERY hard to scrape off even with a toothbrush. It’s a 6month old system 125 gal with a VERY LIGHT bio load(two clowns, a gramma, softies and hammers)...
