Does anyone have any idea what this creature might be and if I need to remove it from my tank. I haven't seen it actively eating any corals (I have both LPS and SPS) It is completely nocturnal and I can't even attempt to locate it during the day.
As you can see I let my tank go for a few weeks at the worst possible time, I had some hair algae introduced to the tank through the addition of a frag with it, as well as a algae that I can’t recognize which is fuzzy. Any suggestions on how to get the algae under control will be greatly...
My smithi mantis was eating awesome and looked nice and healthy he then started to build a blockade in his cave as many mantis shrimp do to molt I thought he was dead on the end of week 3 so I tried to take it apart and they were wedged in there good! I opened a small crack and stuck the dull...

Please help, I got a court jester goby yesterday and found him stuck in the filter this morning, didn’t think anything of it and just came up with the conclusion that he was too weak to fight the filter and told myself to do a water change after I finished work. Went back to my room to go get...
Hi everyone,
So I bought this new zoa colony at an LFS where I have been once before and it's not doing too great.
I bought the colony Saturday November 28th 2020 so I've had it for almost a week now.
The issues:
- Less and less polyps open up every day
- White strings appearing at the base of...
My tank developed these cracks over 4 months or so. I haven't seen them increase at all, but I'm not sure if I should go ahead and start looking for a new tank.
So my friend gave me a frag of green montipora digita to try in my tank.
The polyps at the top seem to be doing great but the trunk of the coral doesn’t seem to have much response. I only got it yesterday. I’m just checking if this is normal? (Pic attached). Could it be a placing issue? It’s...
