Had this torch mid last year as one head, and slowly growing, the tissue at base receding just happened two day ago wondering is it not happy or splitting? All other torch in the tank has no sign of receding.
I bought a guys livestock because he was shutting the tank down and in there was this torch. Unfortunately it's definitely receding. Color is still good and it'll still eat when directly fed, I mean as much as a torch will.
I guess I'm looking to see if anyone has successfully saved a torch...
So I’m not sure why or how to troubleshoot but I have a 2 frogspawn both decking in health everything else looks good in tank
Params aren’t bad either not sure on where to start on troubleshooting. It’s a mixed tank along with torches and hammers that are all doing completely fine, so why just...
Hi everyone!
I’m currently looking at my reefs stock and trying to find the general “rule” for stocking reef tanks.
For context I have a 164L 36 gallon tank with a sump, skimmer, live rock, refugium and it is 2 years old, i’m still slightly newer to corals so it’s a whole new ballpark! i’m...
How much Nitrate in an LPS and Softie dominant tank is considered too high? Mine are between 20 - 50 ppm and after spending months with Nitrate at 0, I am not sure if I want to lower it.
Hello All
I wanted to get some feedback on my tank and perhaps why a few of my corals are showing stress. My Bicolor Candy Cane is barely hanging on while the other two are starting to show their skelton on the edges. My zoa's, polyp's, mushrooms all seem to be doing okay. Here is what I tested...
Does anyone know what this coral is?
I bought this at my local lFS today and the owner didn’t know what it was as well. I was thinking maybe a favia or chalice of some sort, but not sure.looks awesome though (pretty big)

Hello,
I have a wall hammer in my tank, that has been doing well so far (fingers crossed). However, I have noticed over the past couple of weeks that there's a section of it turning like a dull gray color. Anyone know why?
Par is about 130
Salinity 34
Phosphate was high (0.38) but dosing...
Hi everyone, I just added a display refugium to my main tank, and since then both my LPS, torch and acan aren’t opening. All my softies (other than my mushroom) are all open and doing great, same goes for my montipora. I thought it could be flow at first but I adujsted the outtake to match the...
Hello,
My scoly that I've had for several months is starting to recede for no apparent reason.
I went home last weekend, Friday morning - Sunday morning, and when I came home, it was like this.
The coral isn't next to anything that can sting it I think. It is next to a tachyphylia or...
Hi everyone,
Planning in buying this coral, a little pricey but been wanting one. This one looks different from many Holy Grails Ive seen.
please let me know if what Im buying is actually what’s being advertised?
help a dude out?
the bigger colony is the mother colony they said
Hi guys, I recently purchased and fragged a large specimen of a coral advertised as a hammer coral. I had doubts from the start of it being a hammer coral but I am still unsure what type of euphyilia coral this is.
You can see from the pictures that it has a branching structure and a bunch of...
I have this torch that I’m unsure what’s wrong with it. it looks like the tentacles have shrunk and haven’t come out in about a week. It was doing fine for the longest time but last week all of a sudden it no longer was opening like it should’ve. All my other corals are opening fine including 2...
Hi there,
Need to clear out frag racks, local pickup/meet up is preferred (zip: 94533) but i can also ship starting next week, if weather is better for affected areas. Shipping is $50 outside CA and $30 within CA. Standard DOA applies, but cannot refund shipping cost if due to carrier delay...
Hi team,
Just noticed this little fellow growing off the side of my Acan frag's skeleton looking for ID.
Frag has been in the tank for about a week and a half and I've just noticed this fellow in the last 3 or 4 days or so.
Any ID's or recommendations?
Hey guys, I recently noticed while observing my tank that there is a small Florescent polyp looking thing attached to the side of my warpaint scoly. My first thought was that it was a zoa of some sort, but I realized this thing is way too tiny to be a zoa. Here are some pictures maybe some of...
I’ve had it for 4 months, I can see more of these “holes” were a polyp once was and browning on the edge. What’s wrong with it? Can someone give me some pointers? Recently tested my values and everything was in the norm. Would really appreciate some help as I’m quite new to the hobby
I have had aquarium since I can remember. Ok the very first one hardly can be called an aquarium as it was just a 3l jar with a 2-3 inch catfish in it my dad caught while we were fishing. And that fish didn’t last long with me as he had to go back to the river Danube. It was growing faster and...
So the other day I took my hammer out to do an iodine dip because he wasn't looking too hot. Been having a bit of a cyano problem and some had grown on it's skeleton. I dipped and basted him with a turkey baster and I guess I hit him too much with the baster because it looks as though part of...
I bought this coral from my LFS about a week ago and have some concerns about it I'm hoping someone could help me out. I was told this is an acan echinata correct me if I am wrong but there seems to be a spiky white growth in it that doesn't seem to be part of the coral because the flesh recedes...
