parasite?

Good morning Reefers, I've had this little pink hammer since mid April. It, like all my hammers is a pretty happy hammer and I did dip him in CoralRX before I placed him in the tank. He always had a little dark spot but since April that dark spot has grown and its clearly some little pest. Its...

Came home and noticed this a spot on my vlamingi tang. It seems to be a circular spot with a black outline and normal skin inside. It sort of looks like a worm under the skin but I can’t be sure. Can some help ID what this is and what measures need to be taken? sal- 35.0 pH- 8.1 Alk- 10.0...

I have 2 or 3 creatures growing in crevasses in a rock. These are 1/4 of an inch wide and look more to me like a baby Hammer than an Aiptasia. (See attached video) It seems to have near transparent tentacles with a small ball at the end. It grows very close to the rock and does not seem to have...

Hello, I read through all the previous threads I could find on this topic and I'm wondering if there is any more specific advice for my freshwater Puffer. I noticed quite a bit of bloating about 2 days ago, decided to give it time and keep watch. It's bloated more on the left side of his...

Sorry if the photos aren’t the best but the little bugger won’t stay still! I took on this pair of clowns and the female keeps having really stringy poop but the male is completely fine. She is still eating and behaving normally so I just wondered the best way to treat her or whether to just...

Got 2 clown in qt right now they’ve seemed fine, however today I noticed their skin seems to be peeling and there appears to be some growth in the filter as well. Any ideas as to what this can be or how I should treat this? Attached some photos below.

I noticed some white hair like things coming off of my cleaner shrimp today (see photos & video). You can really see it protruding from his legs and tail. Does anyone know if this is normal? I'm afraid it might be a parasite or some sort of sickness but I cant seem to find much information on it.
