Quickly becoming one of my favorites. I was concerned with how it would do since it was maricultured but it has settled right in with nice polyp extension day and night. Any ideas on what it is? I'll get better pics here soon with my dslr but this is what i have for now Thanks folks!!

I saw this weird white thing attached to my rock. Any ideas of what it is? There are also some weird trails in the sand next to it. Also, my nassarius snails are all crawling around near it, I don't know if that helps.

Hey folks, We purchased a new piece of live rock today, and it had a mushroom coral on it, got it into the tank but am not sure on ID... any help? I want to be sure I'm placing it in a good spot so it doesn't die. Thanks!

Its pinkish purple w a yellow center or mouth and silver skirts. Got it as a freebie and it is doing well under higher lighting. Thx for the input.

This guy came inside an empty snail shell. I think its a mini brittle, but want confirmation before putting him in.

What is this thing? My best guess was a Stomatella snail..

I have about 6 adult cerith snails in the tank. I've seen a couple of these tiny white snails that are shaped like ceriths. However, they also look like they could be pyramid snails. What do you think?

So I bought this coral a few years ago. I bought it as a lobo for $5! When I bought it, it was about the size of a quarter. For the first year it always had it feeding tentacles completely open so I still thought it was a lobo that was always hungry. After it started growing it didn't really...

Hey guys I have had this Nephthea for a little over a year. It has always had this black crusty looking stuff on the stalk, kinda looks like charcoal. I never worried about it, the coral was doing great with big open polyps So i thought is was normal, maybe algae or something. About a month ago...

I've got an annoying nuisance in my reef and I want to sort it out. I'm hoping you kind folks can help point me in the right direction to ID this. Description: Blows off coral/rock/sand easily but returns quickly Stringy brownish color Doesn't appear to create it's own bubbles within but will...

Hey all, Just joined and am looking for some help. I am trying to identify this protein skimmer. I was going through a bunch of stuff salt water supplies I had and came across it. Once identified, would it be too much for a 15 nano? I'm trying to avoid getting another one if this would work...

Hi everyone, Just bought these and i cant find anything similar to them. Aqua sd calls them blue wowsers, but i was hoping someone knew the more common name. Thx for the input.

Hi Everyone, Need help w figuring out the problem w these zoas. I floated frag in bag to equalize temp, then dipped a few frags in coral rx. Rinse w tank water then placed new frags in qt tank. My other frags are doing great, but this one in the picture has mucous surrounding a few polyps...

Hey guys Anyone knows what that thing could be? Is it a coral? It's growing on my rock, good looking but I'd like to know what it is. Its color is a pale pink, peach, white ... hard to tell. here's a pic

Hi everyone, Just bought this off an auction and i was hoping to get the id name usually used rather the funky, crazy names to make things confusing lol. Here is the pic, would appreciate ur inputs on the id and the usual care w lighting and placement. Thx

hi everyone, I have a jbj 28 gallon aio with 27 watts leds 1 watt actinic. Ammonia, nitrite and phosphates 0 while nitrates low at 5-10. Calcium at 440 and kh 6-7 and i dose w seachem 1 and 2, target feed w phyto and brightwell. I always dip new zoas w coral rx and acclimate low then move...

So i got a shipment of frags a month ago and there were a couple freebie zoas. I have a jbj 28 nano so the 14k overrides my actinic and so the awesome color doesnt come out till late. Anyway the 1st frag has a blue mouth with yellow rings--sorta like LA lakers without the yellow skirt instead...

Hi everyone, I am currently trying to determine the worth of these zoas/paly frags and its is difficult finding accurate info w all of the exotic names and such and sometimes they look different from google searches. Also hard to determine how accurate the pictures considering their heavy...

Hi everyone, just finished coral rx and qt of frags and i have them now in dt jbj 28 gallon so it doesnt have the massive blue tinge. Besides rastas, devils armor, and blue hornets, i got a couple mystery frags. Anyway, the first frag was a freebie and when my daylights go out leaving my...

Hi everyone, I purchased this frag about 2 weeks ago from a Petco near me. Wasn't in great shape so thought I would get it and see if I could bring it back, I guess you could say. Well it is doing great and has several new heads on in but I can't figure out if it is a form of Xenia or maybe a...

I have been fighting what I believe to be Dinos and have been in and out of my tank for over a year. I have attached some pics I took today through my microscope of the organic. It doesn't appear to be moving. They appear rapidly, hang all over my SPS and accumulate or create bubbles. They...

Can anyone tell me what this is? I saw it in a display tank at one of our LFS this week. The owner said it was rare and told me what it is, but now I can't remember! It seems to be some kind of anenome inside a hard out covering. Thanks!!
