identification

Hello all, just not sure what I got for coral species here and figured someone around here would make easy work of it. The tree looking one is about 3 inches high, and has a reddish purple hue. The green ground cover one is about an inch across the frag. Lastly, the green bush guy who has...

So I got a new Chromis and noticed the little guy rub his head against rock a few times aggressively. 2 days in and he is really ripping his body up. I did a fresh water dip and have him in my quarantine tank with Coppersafe. I see no noticeable items on his body. No clue what is up, but...

Wassup Reefers, Need some help with a disease ID. I got a citron clown goby for my 40cube a few weeks ago. A handful of days after I introduced him to the reef appetite and behavior seemed normal but I noticed a few white specks on just his fins. The next day his fins were clean/clear of specks...

Hi everyone, can someone help me please? Do you know the name of this fish? I thought it was a juvenile melanurus, but it has two spots on the tail. Thank you!!

Hey! Just found this guy in some red oga macro algae I bought today fire worm?? Bristle? I like bristle worms

Can anyone ID this?

Best pictures I could get…this little guy was in a shipment of coral I received today. it looks like a baby snail, I believe Trochus. Anyone with a better eye have other opinions? best photos I could get, little guy is only the size of a pepper grain.

Wondering if anyones has this or has seen it in the hobby/ might know the specie? I got a couple clippings of the last acro from a display tank at the last salt shop in town. They were phasing out their salt water.Had no one with coral experience around, and no idea the source or species. Now...

I got these two zoa yesterday and they man never told me what they were I should’ve asked but I was too excited to get these in the tank. Wondering if anyone would know what the names of these are

Hey y’all, just took a microscope video of some dinos, but I can’t quite make out what species. Can anyone identify? PS: videos usually work on a laptop or desktop from my experience. #reefsquad

Hey, I just got a new frag ( very excited! Getting my first sps corals) I noticed that it had something on the side of it Lfs said detritus It’s crusty and hard feeling but broke up quite a bit in the Dip Any ideas if it’s an issue? Sorry I couldn’t get better photos

Found these hitchhikers today. Are they the bad stinging Anemones? Should I 86 them? Thank you.

Top part of the frag, translucent, never closes.

I got this gorgonian at an LFS and I’m not sure what kind it is. The polyps look purple and the spine looks white. The guy at the LFS said it was photosynthetic.

hi again yall! weird mucusy, matted web looking stuff in a low flow low light area in our tank.. been around for a little while, doesn’t seem to be bothering anything but it’s ugly & we are curious if we should remove this or leave it alone.. it’s somewhat like an algae growing.. fish, cuc, etc...

Picked up a new acro at the lfs they didn’t know the name of it, anyone can help me ID it?

Newbie clownfish questions (video below): *He's small, about 1", and been in the established 37 gallon tank for about 3 weeks. 1. Please help ID -- is this an Ocellaris? 2. To buy a friend now, I assume I need to get another small one the same size but does it have to be the same species (if I'm...

Does anyone know what this is? I found this worm just sitting out on the open on a frag tile in the frag tank. Their is now sand and zero live rock. It could have been introduced on a frag plug but I dip everything before it enters this tank. I’m just confused on how I’m just now seeing this...

Hello everyone i got sent two unidentified anthias by my seller a while back which at first i wanted to introduce to my fiji lyretail but found out they look a bit different. I do know they don’t always do well in pairs so if something suddenly happened i can move one of them to another tank. Is...

I bought a mushroom frag today which actually grew on a snail shell. I was debating on dipping it when I big Orange work came slithering out for the shell! Is this something I should try to get rid of with the dip or introduce to my tank? I currently don’t have any in my tank It actually looks...

I purchased this blasto during World Wide Coral's anniversary sale two weeks ago. After one week I noticed a red egg / growth appear on the base of the coral. The egg / growth in question is round, large enough to stick out from the base of the coral slightly, and has a small white thing...

There is a dozen or so of what seems to be flatworms on my favia. There don't seem to bother the coral at all. In opposite, it looks very healthy. And considering the number of them, it is not a recent development. I am not sure where they came from. What should I do about them? Dip the coral...

Hello, what algae is this and how do I get rid of it? thanks ;)

I bought my first ever coral about 4 months ago, a small 2 head Torch and a fungia plate coral, I dipped them both and got a small flatworm off the torch luckily. A few days into owning the torch and watching it get used to the water and extend, I noticed a little section of bristly exoskeleton...

I assume this is a clam because it opens and closes every now and then, but I don’t see any eyes. Bought it from a LFS as live rock, but it much have gotten mixed up. Any chance on ID/ how to take care of it in an establishing tank.
