soft coral

Hi! I am starting up a very small pico tank, only about 2 gallons. Currently the tank is cycling, and once I get more macros and some soft photosynthetic corals, should I supplement growth with liquid food? Any recommendations (potentially ones with a low amount of phosphates and nitrates to...

I’m building my first soft coral reef tank (75 gallon). My current plan is two islands (will add sand once finalized). The left island feels largely done and interesting (while not too unnatural). But I currently plan to rework the right with (likely) more live rock. Would appreciate any...

Can anyone help with an ID on this mushroom. I know it’s a Persian rug mushroom. Not much I can find on it. Have about 7 of them biggest one is about 6 inches across.

Hi all, So I’ve just ordered a 380.8 yesterday, my dream reef tank! I have an easy tank in terms of only keeping soft corals. Looking for some ideas or experience on people who have kept some angelfish in a softy dominated system and what was successful and what wasn’t, any good inputs on...

Around 12 inches long. Completely Covered. Taken from another established tank to cycle a new tank. Photo of it is in a hello reef 15. Located in new haven 06515

Hey everyone, I'm a big fan of the look of branching corals but am limited by the size of my aquarium as well as the difficulty of the corals. SPS is out of the question (unless there is a truly easy one), but I've been interested in placing something that branches in a specific area of my...

Currently battling some gha but still pretty proud as it has taken a lot of learning to get here

I'm doing some reorganizing and redesigning of my tank and i'm looking to create some space. So i'm looking to unload some colonies, mini colonies, and trim down around the tank. Please let me know if you're interested in purchasing, or i'm happy to do some trades too. SPS Forest Fire Monti...

Hello, I need assistance identifying these corals! Thank you!

Howdy All! My name is Reinboordt and I last kept a reef aquarium with my dad when I was a teenager 20 years ago. It was a great tank but my dad was impulsive and expected me to do all the research on what he had purchased instead of before. Some major family changes and moving to the other side...

Soo yesterday I have introduced this toadstool to my aquarium and he already was a little bender to the side, I place it down in the rock and in the morning he was looking like the first picture, but by the afternoon the polios have closed and he bent to the side., sorry for the blues

I’m selling one of OG bounce shroom it’s forming a little baby by the foot. It’s on 2 inch tile Asking for $1300 obo LOCAL PICK UP IM NOT SHIPPING.

My LFS posted these clove polyps I wanted to see if anybody could tell me the name of them

Hi guys! I'm a professional aquarist and this is my nano reef. At work I constantly get demands for SPS, LPS, and "big fish" with nice blue lighting but in my heart I just want to stock little fish and grow Leathers and Softies and blast mostly white lights over my tank. 😂 This is me doing just...

Want to take my tank in a different direction and want to part out the majority of the corals in the tanks (probably only keep the acans). The frogspawn and hammer colonies are very large. Dont need a million dollars for them but will be fine with a fair price. Will sell all the rock work as...

Hello! I'm just about to buy my first saltwater fish, a clownfish pair, today, and am very excited! I plan to have a 38 gallon soft coral tank, with fish, to keep maintenance lower, as I'm a resident physician and sadly strapped for time. I already have done a fishless cycle with LFS saltwater...

Hi all, I was hoping for an id on what I'm guessing is some sort of soft coral

Hello, wanted to share one of my tanks that’s been running for about 5 months now. System Overview My original premise of this tank was to do something new and give something of a tide pool aesthetic. It’s a 15” Imagitarium Cube hard plumbed to a small ~3g sump. I built a custom stand with...

Hey Reef2Reef friends! It’s been a while since I last had salty hands, but after a few years away (and one too many hours staring at my old tank thread here), I’m ready to dive back in! This time, I’m chasing my dream setup: an Innovative Marine Nuvo Fusion 25 Lagoon. Ideally, I’d love to find...

I was taking a couple pics of an anemone and noticed something behind it that looks to be some type of encrusting Lps hard to say with how small it is. Any ideas?

A large batch of Coral pics I took for work.

Im looking to add more colors of zoas and maybe another type of coral to my 7 month old 2.5 pico, I would like something with a vibrant red color, do any of you have recommendations for it?

I have this toadstool and another on the same piece of rock but as you can see from the picture this toadstool is “melting” off the rock. The base was originally a thick stem but as time as gone on it’s leaned over and the stem seems to be struggling to hold on. The rock it has grown on has...

Hello, I added these 2 corals to my tank about 3 weeks ago. The one of the left (I believe it's Heliofungia actiniformis) looked very healthy at first, very big & beautiful, then this week has progressively looked sadder & sadder. The other, as you can see, does not seem to be able to/want to...

Toadstool is 3 days in tank, I moved in once, everything else is chill. Nitrates are like 45, OG tank was 10. Obvs the last upload is when it was happy before it was moved abruptly and put into my tank. Advice on these? I’m clueless.
