Hello everyone,
I am new to saltwater. It would be great if you people could help.
I got the Clownfish on the 8th of April. Turned on the new skimmer on 12th april. Just after turning on the skimmer it created a lot of lot of microbubbles and it was released in the tank by the return pump.
So...
What is this weird bubble net?! Turned lights on at night and it seems to be coming out of rock work. It moves with the flow of the water, but stays together. My corals have shrunk up.
Hello all! I was cleaning and moving some corals around in my tank and found that near a colony of some zoas there appears to be some kind of brown clove polyp growing around them… which is weird because I’ve only ever had firework cloves in my tank which are never brown, even when young...
New to me but hopefully not new to others. Help in the ID of these two critters? Never noticed them until this week.
Long striped strings/tentacles from the rock in multiple spots.
Little guy keeps slowly coming up then shoots back down anytime I get close except for if I stay for a while.
Hi, my tank is around 2 years old, and these weird things have been growing slowly for a while and I never thought anything of it. Today I decided to remove them and they almost felt and looked like tendon when split. Would love to know what they are, thanks !
Saw this spiky coralline algae on my frag, and it almost looks meaty. A bit clear and sticks out 2mm and 3-4mm on spikes. What is this? Should i remove it? I can get a beter photo later.
Today i looked at my favia and saw what i thought was debris, until i looked up close, it looks like it has a clear egg sack in between two black dots (eyes?) i took it out with tweasers and its about as soft as a brine shrimp, and same size. While pulling it out, it sticks pretty well for its...
Hello everyone, i noticed this stuff growing on the flesh of my Trachyphyllia. Is this a sponge? Because if you zoom in, it kinda looks stringy, like a ball of nematodes or something. Thank you all in advance
Sup guys/gals,
I recently noticed these tiny bright neon green coral everywhere throughout the tank. Are these acro babies??? I have no idea where they came from, there are at least half a dozen in the tank, all of them in very high light areas. Bright neon green body, dark brown polyp. Most of...
Hello, I have two clownfish and both of them have started to act weird, one more than the other. One clownfish first started acting lethargic and not eating 2-3 days ago, it just hovers at the bottom corner of my tank. There was some stringy white poop coming out of it when I checked on it...
Why is every single one of my hermit crabs in one place on my new zoanthid? This is really weird and I’ve never seen or heard id this before. (Pictures really bad because it’s my phone)
Hi reefers, I saw that this thing kept growing around my King Midas Zoa and I have no idea what it is? It doesn’t move on its own But it is spreading around it. Any ideas?
I've had these for quite a while and never seen this behavior. Just so happens there is a mushroom on the other side of the tank doing something odd today too. Parameters are within my normal range, lighting hasn't changed nor flow.
I have no plans to build a brackish tank, but I heard a fun idea and wanted to expand on it.
fish
- a pair of Betta mahachaiensis
- 4 brackish bumblebee gobies
- 10 Psuedomugil signifer
plants
- mangroves
- dwarf sagittaria
- java fern
inverts
- aiptasia (yes, on purpose)
- amono...
My YWG did wonderful in QT and did what you'd expect from a watchman. But after moving to my main tank, two months ago he doesn't stay on the sandbed and will sometimes swim around the tank like crazy. I have really sensitive inverts thriving so is there something to be concerned about? See...
I've been noticing this for a while, but today it seems to be almost overtaking the heads.
My first thought was to try to blow it away (that is why the colony looks that way.)
It doesn't budge.
I'm assuming I need to improve my flow in that general area but first... I need to figure out what...
Sooo I haven't been able to conclusively figure out what this is, answers have varied widely. What are these things? Hasn't harmed anything yet and I thought it was just a type of algae, but last night I saw a worm poking out of the rock near it. It seemed to be searching for something, poking...
Idk why but if I let my mysis thaw in some saltwater for a few hours, then try to feed the fish, they spit it out and won’t eat half of it. If I just let it air thaw, they love it. Anyone else have this?
Hey so I have an angel fish that is now green and I have no idea why. It’s not acting any different it’s just green now does anyone have any idea what would cause this and if it’s bad? If so what can I do to help it?
I have absolutely no clue what these things are. They came on some LFS live rock, which I believe originated from the Indo-Pacific. They have no holes, feel quite tough, do not bend, and have small “tufts” on their spikes. They also do not appear to have grown since I introduced them a few weeks...
