For about a week my purple tang seems to be most affected from the flukes, as-well...

Trying to see what's going on with my porcupine puffer. For some background, it was born with one eye so it's a bit of an outcast to begin with. It was happy and healthy for several months but then developed some kind of bacterial infection. I treated him for a couple of weeks and the infection...

Got this Wrasse about 8 days ago. He had the raised scales behind his right eye about the 2nd day into QT. No meds in the tank as there are also coral and inverts in my QT tank. The bumps/raised scales have gotten worse over the last 2 or 3 days. I did a FW dip for about 4 minutes yesterday. No...

I want to get your guys opinion on this. I’m not sure what’s wrong with my clown fish. One of them is breathing extremely fast and was swimming erratically in the flow from my wave maker. The one that is breathing fast is the one that looks completely fine. The other one with the white gash on...

Hello everyone! I’m posting this today because I want to make sure everything is okay. This morning, I noticed these cyst-like formations on one of my Favia polyps. Has anyone seen something like this before?

Hey! I am a student in the Marine Science program at Central Campus in Des Moines, IA. In one of our aquariums, we have a Longhorn Cowfish (Lactoria cornuta). Over the past few days, a classmate and I have observed a rapid growth underneath the cowfish's mouth. The growth looks to be some type...

Is my chromis infected with something? He eats and looks healthy but when my lights are turned off at night he shrivels up in the corner and has these visible white spots. They’re not visible during the daytime.

Hey! Tried to find a post on this but couldn’t find anything — more LPS questions from me. These wellso/Trachy are right next to several that are super happy. Per earlier post about meat corals I have not been feeding these corals adequately, so I am starting to do that now. What would you...

Hi All, Thanks in advance for your time. I've scoured the internet to find a match with the symptoms i see on my hippo tang but unfortunately, with my inexperience, could not 100% ID the infection. I've tried making pictures with him free swimming but this was near impossible so I had to scoop...

Hello. I bought this gem tang the other day for super cheap because it either has a bacterial infection or a fungus. It looked treatable so I took the fish. I’ve had it in a 20 gallon long all by itself and it hasn’t been eating. I’ve put in some Melafix and also picked up some Metroplex today...
