Hello everyone, some what new to this so forgive me. I currently have a male and female pair of Spotted Dragonets, I’ve had them for over a year now. They eat lots of copepods and peck all day, as well as have been trained to accept frozen foods. Recently, I noticed BOTH male and female fish...

Osc Clown acting like he’s sick, they’ve all been in the tank for 4 months but this guy the smallest seems to not want to eat all of a sudden. The past 3 days he’s been fasting, hiding and laying down in a cave and he has me concerned. Does anyone think i should do a quarantine? His fins seem...

I've been frantically going through this forum to try and save my moribund clownfish but had no luck unfortunately. My clownfish has died and I have no clue why after extensive testing. Tank is about 2 and a half months old or so. I've had my clowns for a little over a month. Currently...

Hi! First of all, I would like to thank you all for your help! Whenever I have a problem with my tank, you help me solve it ASAP! Now to the issue: In the past few days, I noticed that a white spot appeared on the top of my clownfish. I have no idea what this could be, so I want to hear your...

My bubble tips have been happy for years. Over a few short days they seem to have become ill and won’t open or are dying. One moves around multiple times a day. 20gal Red Sea 3ish years bought used with corals had 1.5yrs Numbers at end of pics

Hello everyone, I’m worried about my Favia. I just noticed these white icicle appearing things on the skeleton portion. What are these? Coloration seems good. I’ll post parameters soon but I just want to know if people have seen this before.

Hi all, hoping you can help me with my two clownfish. I got them about 6 weeks ago as the first two fish in my tank. I got the tank from someone who had the tank up and running for years. About 3 weeks ago, the darker clown started showing signs of white stuff on his lips. I thought it was from...

Hey everyone, first time posting. I have this fish (fool) for 2 months now. Today, I noticed a bump on the left of side of him, what is this, and should I be worried? TIA.

Hey guys, five days ago I bought a Sapphire damsel for my tank and today a noticed a white mark on him. I haven’t been able to notice because he’s usually facing the other way and hides in the rock work. He might’ve got the mark from my male clown since he would try to attack the damsel for the...

Hi im looking for some help with my cleaner shrimp. Added to the tank about 2 months ago. All was good until last week when I noticed it acting a little lethargic. Then I noticed some white spots and a small black spot on its side. It wasnt moving for about a day and then something startled it...

Zoa burned skirt, how to solve this problem? Hello reef comunity I have a problem with a certain frag of zoas. They do open up during the day but they have really small or not existing skirt. During the night they have something that looks like cyano. I thought it was a burn from an amonia...

Hi guys, After my first flame angel fixed I thought I’d dry another from the same seller (mistake I guess) and this was was fine for 2 weeks until I woke up this morning and it was super lethargic and it’s fins look damaged. I checked the other fish and they have no damage. He looked fine...

I am new to the saltwater aquarium community and just got my first damsel fish. The only problem is it has some weird marks on it. I don’t think it resembles ich or velvet, but am concerned on what it could be and if it is harmful. He also is hiding and not eating food, but it’s only been one...

Hello, All. I have a midas blenny that came to me as a juvenile and has been in my tank for about 6 months. I have had no new fish added to my tank for about 4 months. I have added corals from other hobiests but have dipped each one before adding them. A few days ago I noticed the blenny...

I have had my tank for around 2 years now, and my fish are fine, however just today, the smaller of my clowns was swimming in the corner with the most flow, and occasionally laying on the sandbed. I turned the flow off, and he got up, slowly swam around, then got bullied by the other clownfish...

I purchased a dog face puffer today.. he is brown and spotted and i’ve posted on facebook about him and people have said he looks good and he looks horrible. I’m aware he has a hazy eye which I plan to treat. LFS is feeding krill, only known issue of him is his beak needs filed some since it’s a...

Hi all, first post here - 48h ago I picked up a one eyed Porc Puffer from a local LFS. He’s tiny, 1/2 inches, and has got some sections of his slime coat shedding. There’s no white spots, no visible parasites, no fuzz or anything at all that I can see other than him seemingly generating mucus...

I started this hobby in 2020 and purchased a good deal of my livestock from LiveAquaria. I never received sick or infested items. Jump to 2024 and everything from fish to coral has arrived with disease or bad hitchhikers. My last two attempts at purchasing fish were ick riddled and died during...

Not sure about the discoloration around his gill plate. He’s been hanging out in the top corner of my tank all evening like he’s trying to get out of the water.

Royal looks like it may have ich or something but I can’t figure out what it is. Might be on my clowns as well. Can someone help me please

I just received this Dussumieri Tang from liveaquaria.com divers-den. And it has this circle on it any thoughts I added the fish into qt and it is eating. Any thoughts?

My clown fish has been acting weird. Constantly laying on their side, but will swim when I walk up to the tank. Their color looks great, I don’t see any signs of an illness. I’ve had this clown for 7-8 years now. However. There does appear to be a slight purplish mark on their one side, but...

Hey! Tried to find a post on this but couldn’t find anything — more LPS questions from me. These wellso/Trachy are right next to several that are super happy. Per earlier post about meat corals I have not been feeding these corals adequately, so I am starting to do that now. What would you...
