Please help identify what is going with our coral beauty, we have had her for about a month now. Her tail got roughed up I think by another fish but is looking worlds better now.

I have a clown wrasse that managed to flip over my acanthophyllias, scolys, and any coral on my substrate- flips them upside down constantly. I recently glued them down to frag plates and buried the plates in the sandbed, so it’s harder for him to flip em now, but somehow he still does and he’s...

Alright, hopefully the video provided a bit of a light-hearted intro to a not-so-light-hearted topic of discussion....Dinoflagellates!! I know this topic has been beaten to death, however since I gather that it is probably the #1 discouragement and source of abuse for those unlucky souls who...

Help! We have one anthia who has been in a QT tank since we got her, she’s due to go into the display tank tomorrow. Last night these areas on her fins showed up. At first I thought maybe ich, but the more I look at her the more I think it may be something else. It’s on both pectoral fins...

Hi All, Purchased a Ecotech Radion XR15 Pro Gen 5 three days ago as I was attracted not only to the light but also to the idea that I could set a lighting schedule and not have to worry about manually switching on and off lights anymore. Unfortunately my satisfaction was short lived after I...
