    Can you ID this nuisance algae?

    Hi, I have some GHA, some bubble and another that I’m guessing is sea lettuce? Anyone know what it is. Its quite tight to rocks or maybe it’s the tangs tucking into it? https://youtube.com/shorts/pyItjXE-Z4M?feature=share Thanks

    Mushroom ID please

    I’ve had these mushrooms for a while and just realized I don’t know what they are. With having so many I wanted to possibly sell some, but can’t price them correctly without knowing what they are the photos are of them under a white light and with a filter under a blue light

    What on earth are these?!

    They look like limpets or chitons the size of pinheads, attached to my refugium’s glass pane, but they jitter and have pulsating appendages like isopods. What do you guys think? Below: location of pulsating appendages, circled in red.

    Zoa ID

    Usually I wouldn’t ask but these look kinda bleached out. Anyone have any ideas what the one on the left is? The middle one reminds me of my armor of gods but it’s not the same exactly. It’s got a lot of speckling in the orange on the disk whereas my AOGs are pure orange. But it’s reaching like...

    About that Red Encrusting Algae (not Cyanobacteria)...

    Up until a little over a year ago, I always assumed all the hard, red encrusting algae we find in our marine tanks was just another variant of Coralline algae. Boy was I wrong! I eventually came across this site which made me realize that this "red Coralline" might actually be of the genus...

    Tomini Tang Sickness

    Hello, My tomini tang has had marks on him for over a week now. Had to go away for a trip and it looks much worse. Have not been able to identify what it has. He is eating but is hiding a lot. He obviously looks more white than normal, had holes in the head, and appears to have a rust like...

    Help ID please

    Is this a “strawberry” anemone? I guess that’s a mojano? That’s what people in my area call them. Should I murder it or is it reef safe?

    Help identifying white growth on rock

    Aiptasia? They are grouped so close together and I’m not sure aiptasia grows like that. Not the best of pictures. This is the only place I see this growth in the tank.

    Strange Spiked Growths

    I have absolutely no clue what these things are. They came on some LFS live rock, which I believe originated from the Indo-Pacific. They have no holes, feel quite tough, do not bend, and have small “tufts” on their spikes. They also do not appear to have grown since I introduced them a few weeks...
