parasite identification

Hi all! We have a wild caught blenny in one of our aquariums. He has been with us for about 4 months now, his belly has gotten larger, but it's a super hungry fish so, I didn't think much of it. This past Monday though, he had something hanging out of him. I figured it was a parasite and pulled...

Hey folks, I have a long polyp pink toadstool that I purchased over a year ago. It’s been a really frustrating journey. It was doing well for a few months, then it wouldn’t extend its polyps fully, and I determined that this was because it was getting stung by GSP. I removed the GSP from its...

My powder blue tang is 3 years old and has been healthy and happy up until a couple weeks ago. He started acting odd and I noticed he had what looked like small white strings coming off of his head. I freshwater dipped him and it seemed to have work for the time being. Fast forward a few more...

My Fire Shrimp had a normal molt and for fun I looked at the old exoskeleton under my microscope. Is there a way to find out what sort of things live on a shrimp normally? Or if some of these little guys just live in the saltwater in general? Interested if anyone has good resources or knowledge...
