identification

So have a hammer and it’s always had some “dark spots” figured it was some discoloration of some sort. After tonight looks like it has spread ALOT since I’ve last paid attention to it. Might someone know what or why there is some blue Something growing around my hammer? Got the best pic I could...

So my LFS got a handful of these guys in, and had them mislabeled as a "Sailfin Goby" (no slight at them, it probably came in the shipment like that, I worked there for 4 years) Looking at the fish I can tell it's a Blenny not a goby, and while looking into trying to figure out what exactly it...

Can someone help me ID these colonies I have please? The one with only two heads was sold to me as CB white zombies. The store was going out of business so I got it for 5$!

I just got a Trumpet/Candycane frag and when I dipped it I saw this little guy sitting inside the tissue of the coral. I got him out pretty easily and got him in some clean saltwater until I figured out if he was good or bad. The only thing is I have absolutely no clue what kind of crab it is...

Hello, what coral is this? I saw it the other day and really like it Thank you. :)

Just bought this coral for $10 and it's so pretty. The rainbow color is what did me in. Can anyone help identify this? Thanks in advance!

Hello My aquarium is only about 6 months old and while I’ll admit I have a very simple set up it has been going fantastic. I mostly did the rockscape out of dry rock too keep the price down but I did put a little live rock in the tank (one piece) and a little in the refugium. I didn’t think I...

Recently was told these are Gorilla Nipz, looking at the website I ordered them from they have Radioactives (they were sold to me as Spring Zoanthids). (Above: my photo) (Their advertisement of Radioactives) (What I bought them as)

I bought these on SaltCritters WYSIWYG sale. Curious what they are. Atomic Sunrise? Hornet of some sort?

I bought this a year ago or so and I can't remember the name. It's a deep purple with green eyes/polyps

These things are growing like an absolute weed. Hoping to get a tag name so I can sell them off if they're worth something, or pull them all and give them away if they're not.

Hi, so I’m starting over due to a possible contamination. I was removing everything from the tank and noticed these white crystal like things growing on the bottom of my live rock that was sitting on live sand. I’ve done research but I am not sure if this is dead coralline. Anyone know what this...

Picture isn't great, but hopefully this is enough to ID. I don't ask for tags on zoas under $30. Should probably start to help with resale. Also, these guys above the bubblegum digi grow like a weed and I'm going to have to start pruning soon.

Hey guys I just picked up a tang and it’s swimming super weird. It twitches it’s head often but it also goes near the surface at times and freaks out. Just curious if anyone can identify this disease so I can cure this little bugger. The video doesn’t do it too much justice but hope it helps...

I received this frag from WWC labeled as a Blue Heron Turbinaria. In person it looks dark blue to violet, and the polyps are bright green. I think this is a Turbinaria reniformis (probably the WWC purple scroll turbinaria) but I haven't had a blue heron turbinaria before and the growth pattern...

I just got this amazing blasto for 20$! It’s a small colony and it has what I think is a small clam attached. It’s alive still. Can anyone tell me what this is for sure and if it will hurt anything?

What is this matte fuzzy growth on coral?

Hey all, hope all are well. I have had my clownfish sense they were juvenile and still mostly orange and white but to this day I can’t figure out why they don’t act like all other mated pair I’ve saw. They are two different kinds I remember that but I that they were both ocellaris so they would...

I bought this mini acro frag because the blue color is really intense but i would like know if someone know if it have name

Need help for identifying a blenny it was sold as a starry Blenny but it looks like a lawnmower blenny

I’ve got this algea that isn’t red slime and isn’t coralline I don’t think. It may be some different kind of coralline I’ve never seen. It’s not encrusting it’s more like it just covers areas of rock but it never gets slimy or hairy. I have red and I just discovered orange.

Can you help me identify this algae? It’s only on a couple rocks, I thought it’s bryopsis but I’m not 100% sure. Pulling it off the rocks is difficult but not impossible. The root system holding it down is very strong.

Need help identifying a torch coral it was sold to me as and indo torch but might be aussie

Can anyone tell me if these are anything special? I don’t think so but they’ve got some orange in the mouth and a white ring around the edge.

Hey everyone! Yesterday my boyfriend and I went on a coral buying spree :p ! The lady told us the name of this beauty, but I was way to excited and ended up forgetting the name! I think it was along the lines of “Yellow Eyed Monster” but I’m not 100% sure :) Any recommendations? Thanks!!
