Hey, didn't know where to post this, but I was looking at this fish and was trying to figure out what it is and I basically can't. I've seen it offered for sale by multiple places as "vampire pseudochromis- Maldives" with the exact same picture. Thing is, it doesn't look like the typical vampire...
Just fragged these zoas that I picked up from a buddy and need to know what they are before I post them up for sale or take them to the LFS for a credit. I tried looking around to find something online but no luck. If anyone can help ID them it would be greatly appreciated! (Only need to ID the...
Today in my local fish shop I asked for easy corals to handle and he gave me these 3 mushrooms. He never mentioned what type, just said they were mushrooms. Does anyone know what type they are and how to handle them?
Hey All,
I added a frag to my tank and have noticed some questionable algae. Can you please help me ID. I will share 3 different patches of Algae so an ID on each one would be helpful. To me pictures 1 and 2 look like Bryopsis and possibly 3 as well. If so, should I be removing the frag and...
Hello there!
So not going to lie here I'm a little concerned about my father's reef tank. He started a tank last year in December, and after I considered it fish friendly. He went out and got a couple fish and a couple corals, threw them in the tank and called it good. I visit when I can but he...
Hi,
When I turned off the light, this little fellow can crawling out of a rock! Planning on keeping shrimp larvea in the tank, but would like to know if he is harmful. Who can help identify this hairy friend?
I added a piece of macro algae to my tank yesterday evening and my one fish in the tank (clownfish) now has bumps near his gills the following morning. Did I introduce a parasite? Any help with IDing it would be helpful. The tank is just the clownfish and a piece of macro algae. Tank is 1.5...
Hi there!
Can anyone help me out and identify the type of algae this is? My current solution has been to try to scrub it out of the rocks but in some places, it is in the crevices and it makes it very difficult, especially with the amount that exists. Someone had suggested it is purple algae...
I believe this came in hitchhiking on a zoa colony from vietnam but not to sure, I tried to get the best pictures I can and weirdest of all it seems to only be growing on the glass... maybe Bryopsis? But it has like a foot base then spouts little almost fans, very hard to scrape off
Any ideas?
Hey gang,
I’ve been running a Fluval 13.5 since March. My first two corals from Biota came with these little grass-like things on them, and being a total noob, I thought nothing of them.
They grew to be quite long in one spot, and they’re starting to spread like little threads on my main...
Hello, I did an order though Live aquaria's Divers Den, and the fish I ordered was switched in their warehouse by accident... whoops. They told me I could go ahead and keep it, and that it was a Caribbean Striped Parrotfish. Looking at it though, I believe it is a Princess Parrotfish. Is anyone...
Recently, this pink/purple foam thing started overgrowing zoas in my zoa garden. What is it? What eats it or removes it aside from manual removal? Here are photos of it on zoa frags I removed to clean.
I'm thinking it is a sponge. I have been removing the impacted rocks and frags and...
Photo of algae from my sump. Backstory - chaeto didn't grow well. This popped up in DT few strands and began to spread slowly. I moved the rock with this on it to sump since it was obviously happy with my parameters. It has grown consistently however, nitrates remain high.
Added ulva from...
I was dipping my new christmas tree rock and this guy came running off. Want to play it safe so I have him in a breeder basket right now. Haven’t heard of any brittle star pests before, and I love to have them as they are great for taking care of detritus. Just want to know if it’s a pest and...

Hello Reefers-
I recently purchased this "Mighty Morphin Mummy Eye Chalice" from Cherry Corals. Can you help me identify the variation of Mummy Eye? It's either some variation of the original mummy eye, or maybe just the regular mummy eye? Oregon Mummy Eye? The chalice is fluorescing a bright...
not sure of the exact place this belongs. But this coral was given to me a few years ago. I have no clue as to what it is. Not the prettiest coral. As far as I remember, i dont think ive ever seen polyps either. I think i remember hearing it a “cup” coral. But after googling it im not quite...
Last night, I noticed in my sump a handful at least of small (pencil eraser-ish or smaller) snails cruising through my skimmer section of the sump and my skimmer column itself. The appearance was most like a stomatella snail.
Can anyone confirm that this is likely or possible? Any concerns or...
I just got this acro in a trade today.
Would Acropora kimbeensis be an adequate guess?
Country of origin is unfortunately unknown :(
Growth of the mothercolony is a somewhat high "table".
If anyone has seen it for sale somewhere, the "designer-name" would be great too :)
Thanks
