pest id

Hello! Rescued a sizeable pectinia that had a couple pests on it. It had a large vermitid that I glued over, a majano which I injected with lemon juice and covered with CA glue. There is a red sponge which I hope lives! BUT...What's in the picture? It looks completely different from the other...

Hi I have noticed these strange critters. Almost look like little flatworms but move like copepods they are dark red towards black to look at under blue lights. I think they are causing some tissue recession at the base of my acros and my candy cane coral? Or they may not be a pest and the...

I was looking at my tank at night and noticed this coming out of one of my torches. Couldn’t really figure out what it is. If anyone could identify I would greatly appreciate it!

Hello everyone So in the beginning of February I broke down my 75 gallon display tank bleached all the live rock except for one that had a mushroom coral attached to it. In preparation for my 125 gallon upgrade. I removed some substrate along with that rock to house long tentacle, my bubble tip...

Hey all, This is my first post on any kind of forum, so I apologize for any mistakes. I discovered this little anemone 3 months ago and have been struggling to ID it. It doesn't look like aiptasia from pictures I've been looking at but I'm still fairly new to the hobby and haven't seen aiptasia...

Hi all! For a little while now, my torch has had this clear white spongey stuff growing on its base and the past two days the torch hasn’t been out as much. Last month, I took it out to dip it and I carefully used a knife to scrape this stuff off. It was crunchy and sponge like but I managed to...

I noticed something that looked like snail eggs in my overflow chamber last week when I did a water change. I scraped it off and wouldn’t ya know I have at least 10 in all 3 chambers of my Evo 13.5. At first it reminded me of the ramshorn snail egg sacks in my freshwater but on closer inspection...

Hello I dipped some zoas in Bright-well Aquatics Koral MD cause I found some tiny critters on the rock of the zoas. Not sure what type of pest these are or how to get red of them since the dip did not kill them. Can you help me ID these pest. They have a pair of white antennas. Also found them...

Hey all! Relatively new to the hobby with less than a year of experience. Noticed my lepto wasn’t looking too hot and shortly after, I noticed these guys hanging out on the underside of the frag. My searches through the forums lead me to believe they’re hydroids, but I was hoping someone with a...

Hello fellow reefers! I noticed some white spots on 2 of my acro colonies and snapped a piece to inspect under microscope. The appear to possibly be eggs from something but I truly have no idea. I added some Berghia Nudis a couple of months ago, eggs look similar but smaller Any help will...

Hey all, I've got a sixline wrasse thats been in qt for 2 weeks now. Just this morning I'm seeing signs of what I believe are internal parasites? Tank started at 1.018sg and has slowly been rising due to evaporation, close to 1.021 at this point. Can I please get confirmation on if this is...

Found in my sand bed. Never seen anything like it before.

Hey, just saw these little guys on my glass today anybody have an ID? If it helps, I’ve seen my clowns and six line wrasse picking at the glass which I now presume is them having some lunch

I have a couple frogspawn that haven’t been doing well. I’ve noticed what I think are some kind of burrowing worm, but I can’t find any info on it. I see lots of posts discussing burrowing spionid worms in SPS, but nothing about euphyllia. I do have a couple SPS frags with those, but what is...

Hey all, I added a Torch to my tank about 4 weeks ago. It was doing great and seemed to be adapting fine to my tank. Lately Ive noticed a couple things of concern, could someone please try to identify and let me know if anything should be done? First there is this hair like strand coming off...

Hello, any idea what this is, I have a 3 yr old ish tank and nothing is new and I haven’t really seen something like this before. Only pest Iv had are bristle worms. I noticed when I started to clean tank and small white tubes kinda blew around with the algae? Vermid Snails? If so what can I do...

I am dipping this chalice and zoa right now and there are alot of eggs on it. What could they be from?

The first photo the best I can explain is that it seems like they are eggs stuck to the glass. The second photo is a little harder to get. Basically what it seems like is a web of white goo. I thought it was snail eggs but it's been there for multiple weeks.

Hey all! I was doing a time-lapse of my GSP and noticed this thing coming out of it. I dip every single coral I have and I have no idea what this is. I took the GSP out of the tank the moment I saw it in case it's dangerous. Can someone tell me what this is? Bristle worms?

Got this snail i saw in my tank, tank just started up and is currently in the ugly stage

I have a chalice coral in quarantine and I'm noticing what looks to be small zoa polyps growing beneath it. Does anybody know what this could be? I'm really just curious if this could be some kind of pest. The chalice is purple and red but the "eyes" are growing green.
