soft coral

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.

Everything is grown in my own systems from months to years. Not shipping at this time; Local pickup or can meet at one of the LFS in the NKY/Cincinnati area. PM for more pictures or questions. Links to my other two listings are below. Shipping available for a limited time in October. Minimum...

The tank is on its way! I will make sure to update here with an unboxing and as I add more parts to the tank. I am currently planning on using the tank with a larger focus on growing corals. I am thinking to use a second hand AI Prime as they usually pop up on Facebook marketplace quite often...

Hi, I’ve recently added in a midnight daisy clove coral to the tank. I’ve been watching this in the store for a couple of weeks as a colony and decided to buy it for a section of my tank. Added it in and within hour or so only half of the polyps had opened up, giving it time with no lights...

Hi all, just bought 2 days ago a Clavularia Viridis from my LFS, The guy there said to just put her on the rock I want her to colognise, since she got a “Not conventional form” (not flat at all) I was wonder If she will adapt by herself to the rock, The guy at the LFS told me to place it so that...

Hi there! I recently started my tank and got some GSP and some Zoanthids. Can anyone tell me the type of Zoanthids these are along with my GSP? My GSP I think is a branching variety but it doesn’t have the fully green polyps. Thanks!

Hey everyone I’m I’m new to reefing and had my tank cycled and ready to go for coral. I set up my lighting and got my first soft coral gsp. I did a hydrogen peroxide treatment on the coral for about 4 min which seemed to kill a lot of parasites. This consisted of dipping my coral in straight 3%...

Hey all!! Can't say whether or not I'll be super active on updates here for my build, but I figured why not share my experience when I manage to remember! I started this tank around a month ago (March 2025). It's a UNS 45A dual AIO tank, roughly 9gal total. I've had a handful of different tanks...

These are my current ICP results, most of them seem good, except phosphates, phosphorus silicone and zinc, but I have no idea where they could be coming from. Tank has: bubble coral, elegance, Duncan, Xenia, mushrooms, zoas, clove polyps. All of my LPS have and are doing amazing, but over the...

Hi guys! I’m running a 63 gallon soft coral tank. So far I have a toadstool leather and a finger leather, along with a lot of GSP, a photosynthetic gorgonian, clove polyps, some zoas and mushrooms. Adding my first bubble tip anemone tomorrow. Currently running two Kessil a160’s on the tank with...

My gsp has been open and the polyps seem to be elongated. I’m wondering if this is healthy and normal?

Hi all, I’m new to reef keeping and just wanted some suggestions and to be pointed in the right direction. My tank is on the verge of being cycled and I’m looking at keeping some corals that are hardy and would thrive with just simple weekly water changes. Does anyone have recommendations...

Hi everyone, I just recently moved a 60 gallon SW tank from someone who couldn’t take care of it anymore and was curious if anyone could help me ID these soft coral species. I’ve been taking care of a few reef tanks for about a year, but this is the first reef tank that I’ve owned myself. Thanks!

Hello everyone. My tank is finally cycled, with my two clowns looking healthy and active. It's a 250l tank with an extra 46 liter sump. 2 luminie pixie 150 led lights, and a red sea 300 skimmer. My tank parameters are really stable and decided to give a go at soft corals. My choices...

Hey Reef2Reef, My name is Varun, and I’m a junior in high school with a passion for AI and machine learning. As a fun summer project, I’m developing a coral identification app that uses AI to recognize and catalog coral frags. My goal is to apply this technology to help my local mom-and-pop...

Hey everyone! I am going to Frag Farmers Market on Saturday (My sexy shrimp will be on sale there as well) and I want to buy a Blue Hornet Zoa frag. Would it be a bad idea to keep it with a group of 12 sexy shrimp? I've heard they can bother zoas but they will be well fed so will that still be...

So I’ve been searching for a frag of a very long polyp green toadstool but haven’t had much luck outside of finding bigger extremely expensive ones on eBay. I like smaller frags over colonies bc I like watching my coral grow with my tank. Does anyone know of a good reliable place to find this...

Hello guys. So, I've been thinking about quitting. I can't stand seeing my aquarium with NO COLORS whatsoever. Even easy "GSPs" won't grow in my tank. Cannot for the life of me figure out what the actual f* is happening. I'll post all the pictures and water parameters. Anemones? Dark brown...

Hi all, I've designed a tool to help soft corals like leathers, xenia, mushrooms and other watery corals attach themselves to the plug without having to mess around with bridal veil, glue, toothpicks or anything else. I've never had much luck with the rubber band method on smaller frags and...

Can someone please ID this coral for me!
