identifcation

Hi! Could someone please help me identify what this is? It’s in my sisters tank and I’m stumped! TIA

Hi all! (first post) I just received a Biocube 32, and after setting it up and adding live rock donated by a friend from his established tank, I have a question... A) Which side of this live rock is "up" (algae/green or not green)? B) Does it matter to the already living "things" (I have NO...

Hello! I run a 5 gallon PICO tank that until yesterday had no fish. I also feed phyto daily, so there has always been an abundance of wee beasties that have fascinated me. Most I've been able to identify (copepods, amphipods, munnid isopods, spinoid worms, spirorbid worms). However, there have...

Hi, I got these BTA yesterday and I was wondering what kind they were? Thanks

I got these from my LFS and they look like the have a zoa-like polyp, but they're quite tall. Any thoughts?

I picked up a few new soft corals and was wondering if anyone could help me with a little identification. I'm not sure what any of these guys are. I tried searching for some similar ones but I just don't know for sure. I think the tall star ones are some sort of Clavularia and I thought the...

I've got a 10 gallon frag tank that's been up and running for nearly 2 months now. Inside are just some basic softies: GSP, Eagle Eye ZoaK, Kenya Tree, and a few others. I added some new coral from my LFS a couple days ago and now this little blobish critter is cruising around my glass. I had...

I think it's kinda neat/pretty and would like to nurture it into my new 70G setup; but want to make sure it's a friend not foe. This is growing out from a plate coral frag plug. It's light pink.

Can anyone help me identify this guy? Got it in my TSA mystery pack?

I need help identifying this coral, can anyone help. P.S. I’m new to SPS

Can you identify the zoas I got? I have no idea the name of any of them. I’ll post them each individually so you can reply with name.

Hey everyone! I set up this 3 gallon pico 2 months ago and I just beat some dinos with a uv filter. Now I am noticing these little critters on my glass, they have a little circular body with some very tiny short hairs coming out of it. Any idea what they are? Good or bad?

My water perimeters are alkalinity- 8.7dKH Calcium- 440 Magnesium-1300 Phosphates- .07 Iodine-0.06 ppm PH-8.3 I purchased this coral pictures below a couple of weeks ago. It has been doing well but only one part of it has been starting to shrivel up and show skeleton. I would like some...

Hello all! Any ideas what these little guys are? They are very tiny, smaller than a grain of sand. And are currently all over everything in my tank, but mainly on/in the sand bed. I am very curious to see if any of you know what they might be. They are small, red/purplish and have worm-like...

Bought one of these back in 2017, it had a weird name like “swamp monster”. It’s been multiplying and slowly spreading. Any idea of what type it is? Are they worth anything since they’re multiplying around my tank? Thanks!

Hey guys I got a bounce mushroom colony recently, but have no idea what the name is or any other info on it. It has green/bluish bubbles and one has some orange/gold bubbles. The bubbles are varying sizes. There’s a rhodactis at the bottom next to the colony that I think is a superman.

On the order list its listed as RED Percula. I noticed it has the orange eyes like true percs and also 10 dorsal spines like true percs. The other occys in the shop had the normal more black eyes and the 11 spines. When this fish isn’t stressed out like in the pics, its dark red like a maroon...

Can anyone help me ID this wrasse? It was sold as a carpenter’s flasher, but given its coloration I’m not convinced that’s the case. I’m also interested in its sex if that’s possible to tell from the photos. Thank you!

Hey everyone, I recently received an order from Aqua SD. One of the corals I ordered was a branching hammer. From the looks of it, it is a walling hammer, but do not want to assume as I have limited knowledge of Euphyllia. Coral looks healthy and great. Here is a picture I took while I was...

Hello, pretty new to reefing and I let my phosphates zero out after not feeding for a day as I was on vacation, came back to brown sand, pretty sure its dino. Bought a microscope and got some videos of them, if anyone could help me ID them I'd appreciate it! First one at 600x other at 1200x

Hi everyone. I have had my 20g up and running for 6 months now and have recently encountered. Sorry for the poor photo quality but my microscope does not magnify much more while maintaining clarity. Please help identify the type of dino and what you guys have experienced in the best way to...
