identifcation

Hello, I need assistance identifying these corals! Thank you!

Hi all! I was looking into getting a reef safe triggerfish for my soft coral tank. I saw that a place online has goldenback triggers, however there is a note saying they are hard to identify when they are juveniles and could be any species of Xanthichthys. They are collected in the...

Still going through the new tank woes of all the wanted or unwanted animals. These clear tube guys. Say it ain't so. I think they are vermetid snails but I just want to double check since I can't actually tell and I also want to have hope that I won't need super glue and pliers on day 2...

Hey yall, Wanted to see if anyone could help out with a critter ID. I was out of town for a week on holiday and upon my return I noticed these little white dots (they appear white to the blind eye, but are more of a greenish color when under magnification) on a zoa frag plug as well as a few on...

They are not great swimmers and move slowly. They are very small, barely visible even up close. They are all over the glass everywhere there aren’t diatoms. What are they and are they something I should be worrying about? Thanks in advance.

I found this in my cycling tank with live rock but I have not idea what it is. It move around by rolling and can extend itself in and out, can also climb glass. Any help is appreciated

Bought this coral listed as some sort of euphyllia at LFS. Was wondering if someone can ID it further. Looks like some sort of frog spawn/hammer cross

Hello, I just got this leather coral from LFS and put it in my tank but im not sure what species it is. Could anyone ID it for me? Thanks!

I see a few different organisms and I’m not sure what’s good and what’s bad. Please help ID. I believe the stuff on the glass is pineapple sponges (good or bad?) but not sure on the other stuff

My uncle brought this coral back from Okinawa in the early 70s. It’s been in my family ever since. Now that I’m getting into the hobby, I’d love to eventually have this coral in my system. For reference it’s about 13 inches across.

Anyone able to ID these? First is a fleshy like lump with a red mouth like feature attached to my live rock, idk if it’s always been there but as some of my sea squirts fell off from pesky crabs is when I’ve noticed it. Bellow the bubble tip nem surrounded by the red. I’m unsure about this...

Hey guys, I’m from Brazil and bought this LTA anemone yesterday (aprox 1000usd), looks like a grafted nem, some tentacles are half green half purple, some completely green, looks crazy, never saw nothing like it. vendor called it nexus lta, has anyone seen something like it before ? Any comments...

These little white coils are growing all over my base rocks and my back glass, any idea what they are? I’ve tried picking them off but they won’t budge.

I’m QTing/Holding some livestock from my Dad’s tank that I’ve broken down. I have a variety of snails, hermits, a mated pair of clowns and a wrasse. I’ve found on the PVC pipes what looks to me like eggs. Anyone know who’s eggs they are?

Picked up this Acro frag for cheap from my LFS yesterday but they didn’t know what it was. Does anyone have any idea?

What is this bush that is growing on my rock?? It started small and continues to grow! Does anyone know what this is? And how to remove it?

Hey everyone, I have a clownfish pair that just laid their first eggs today (or at least first time I've noticed). I've read a bit about raising the fry, I'm thinking about giving it a try but it also sounds intimidating. Does anyone have any advice on how to move forward if I decide to try...

I have been watching these forums for a good while, but never have posted so this is my first post. I’ve recently had a very small worm hitchhike into my tank. Initially I noticed in in the sand and it was reaching out and hitting an amphipod. It didn’t appear as if it was trying to catch it...

I just bought these 2 at the lfs and the lady I talked to had no clue what they were, I’m hoping yall do!

Hello, I have had my tank up for 8 months now and I have what I believe is coralline algae growing. I just need some help identifying because it’s not bright pink. It starts off green then transitions to this grey on the glass. The stuff on the rock is bright pink so I am pretty sure that is...

Anybody know what these could be look like either some sort of filter feeder but I have no idea if it’s some kind of feather duster or what?? Thank yall!!!!

Hi could anyone help me identify this coral frag i got from my LFS a while ago. I was told it was a blasto but im not sure if the person knew certainly. Its been opening and feeding fine no issue. Just been keeping it in medium flow place mid tank for the meanwhile. Thank you to anyone who...

Hello everyone, do you know this coral? I think they are Acanthastrea Pachysepta but im not sure at all and google also isn't helpful. Thank you for your suggestions.
