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...

Should I be worried that the Skelton of 1 of my scolys out of the 5 I have is a pink colour instead of a white. You can’t really see the pink unless I put the flash on my phone and go close. Could this be an infection?

After upon delivery , I noticed the fish have some kind of infection or it may have been bullied. i messaged the seller right away and they state the fish was most likely damaged from shipping. The packaging was perfectly fine and not damaged . After inspecting the fish a little more , they...

I've got some in my QT that are very unhappy. I see some growth on them that looks like cauliflower. The second picture is an acan and has the cauliflower and an odd looking antenna sprouting everywhere. My tank parameters are as follows PH: 7.8 - 8.0 Kh: 10.2 Ca: 500 Mg: 1395 NO3: 10 PO4: 0.03...

I have a Niger Trigger fish with a white spot. I’ve had him for 3 months now and he’s been in perfect health. The spot hasn’t multiplied or changed in size. It’s hard to tell in the photo but it looks fuzzy ish. No other fish has the spot and everyone has been eating. I don’t think it’s Ich, i’m...

Hello all, I have 2 BTA anemones and one is visibly sick with its mouth gaping. What are recommended SOLUTIONS/TREATMENT for bacterial infected anemones? Thanks!

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...

Hi! I notice my toadstool with these ulcers. It’s not opening up anymore and wondering if anyone know a what’s going on.

Hello, Last Friday I received my first shipment of fish from Doctor Reef. Everything arrived well and looked to be healthy and in good shape. Since arriving though I have seen something weird show up on my Dusky Margine Wrasse. The first two photos highlight the weird bump with the last photo...

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...

Hello, i recently got a kenya tree frag and put it in not realizing my emerald crabs were hungry. The next morning i found some of the frag picked on and cut. I have resolved the hungry crab issue but my kenya tree seems to be infected.Should I just snip the piece that I think is infected and...

Hey all! I was fortunate enough to pick up a Sarcophyton elegans (I think a Yellow Fiji just not coloured up yet) a couple of weeks ago online. It arrived pale but in one piece. Unfortunately the foot of the coral has begun to disintegrate rapidly into white debris. The head seems okay, but the...

Saw large growth on clownfish two days ago. Doing 90 minute RRR dips on both clowns for seven days. Does it look like an infection or Uronema?

I recently fragged 2 Rhodactis and 3 maxi mini carpet anemones all with the same outcome. Either one half caught an infection or both halves did. It averaged out at around 50% success rate. The worst part is the infection from my carpets spread out to 2 RFAs which also melted. I fragged...

Hey guys, apologies for the long post but I can’t find anything on these white bullseye markings on multiple tangs. I have 2 tanks, both have been running 2 years just about. Mixed reef and the fish are thriving. Parameters are ideal. Recently I purchased a convict tang for my bigger 165 gallon...

I have a matted filefish that's kept in the sump (has become his home to aggression with other fish). Today I found him lodged at the bottom of the tank due to the spikes on its horn. They were lodged into some filter foam that I use to buffer the protein skimmer. There was a pencil sea urchin...

Went on a family vacation and came back and my little guy was looking rough. I set up a QUICK quarantine tank (I am doing another one with no sand this was just an oh crap moment). Is this a bacterial infection or fungal or possibly something else? Any answers would be greatly appreciated.

Tank is 10g, about 6 months old. 2 Ocellaris (this one being a young male), BTA, a few softies and a small cleanup crew (peppermint, couple of hermits, turbos, ceriths). Amonia and nitrites @ 0, ~20% water change every 2 weeks. It's my first reef tank. A few days ago I noticed that this black...

My bi color angel has a cloudy eye for 3 days now. I set up a quarantine tank last night. Im curious what medicine I need to get to help him out. Im assuming its a bacterial infection. Closes place to get meds is petco as well.

Newbie here my Duncan has been closed up for about a day and today I saw this pimple on it. Is it a new head or an infection? I saw it stretching yesterday in that direction.

Good morning, I am at a last ditch effort to do something to save my fish. I have a naked clown fish that I have had for at least 12 weeks now. He had since been one of my healthiest and most vigorous eaters. about three weeks ago he decided to stop eating. Shortly after I did start to...

Hey everyone, Overnight my juvenile blue tang seems to have either gotten a nasty infection/disease of some sort, or injured himself (or both). I did notice slight discoloration and redness near the eye last night but nothing like this. The outside of the eye seems to have peeled upwards...
