Hi. This is my first post on reef2reef. I normally browse but never contribute. Iv just discovered a white substance which looks gooey behind some of my live rock. I spend quite a bit of time admiring my tank so I feel its appeared quite quick. Everything else in my tank seems fine. All my soft...
I recently downgraded my tank and after a few months I've noticed that my red sea lettuce (?) has not colored up since the move. It appears to be slowly growing, but very pale. My dragons' breath algae is doing well and I've had it for less time.
I assume the change may be because of the new...
Here is the goby's poop and the microscope pics show the white part of it. Can't believe he pooped all this out at once... (Vid at bottom)

Hello!
Since some days ago I’ve noticed that there are some of this thin white worms attached to the glass, sometimes they hide on the sand and when they’re near the water flow they unnatach and float around the water in a crawled position. I leave a video and some photos to see if anyone knows...
I have a swarm of free swimming little white bugs in my tank and it’s tripping me out. They look like little white shrimp but hang upside down like mosquito larvae.
Are they some type of pod? Or do I have a problem?
Umm...So I went to clean my skimmer sponge(outlet) the other day and noticed 2 or 3 small white clams. Does this mean something? Should I fix something? Or am I ok? They are white and about 1/4" wide. Tank is a almost 2 months old.
Currently I have 2 of these 32W Nicrew marine led lights on a 125. Trying to encourage the growth of coralline that came on one of my snails. If anyone could tell me a good setting for blue and white lights I would appreciate it. Currently have it set to 40 Blue 50 White. But had it set to 85...
Hey all, I’m getting desperate for some answers as my bristletooth tomini tangs health seems to be on a rapid decline. About 4 weeks ago, I noticed a white patch forming on the tang and it looked almost like the consistency of cotton. It started off small and after some research, it seemed to be...
Accidentally got this guy in with a few blue legged hermit crabs I bought a few weeks ago. I've tried to look up what species he is, but no luck. He seems to have vertically striped black and white legs, with horizontal white stripes at the joints. His claws look the same size, though he's so...
anyone know if this is good or bad. See hairy thing on left side. That’s the longest one / most noticeable in a picture. The rest are really small and more noticeable in a video. I’ve had my tank for about 1.5 months.
I recently acquired a red montipora from my friend one week ago. All of the sudden it appears the tissue is falling off. Within eight hours it is halfway gone. All of my water parameters are in line and the only thing I can think of is possibly my lighting may be stronger than my friends. I...
I recently acquired a red montipora from a friend exactly one week ago and all of the sudden, the tissue appears to be falling off. Within about six hours it is almost all white. All of my water parameters are in line and the only thing I can think of is my lighting may be different and/or...
Hello All!
I found this little white hairy black thing... any ideas?
Aprox 1”
The black portion was lightly covered by the substrate and the hairy bit was on the substrate surface flowing.
It has not moved since its discovery an hour ago.
I bought some new corals for my tank yesterday, acans, zoas and a Duncan which have all settled in nicely. Only when I looked at one of the rocks today i noticed that there
was a small object shooting out bursts of a white substance into the tank. I’ve never seen anything like it and naturally...
Hi there
I noticed that my salinity had risen to 1.030 yesterday so I started to bring it down and got it to 1.026/7 I just come home from work to find my powder blue tang like this I was wondering if it was the salinity that’s caused him stressed and this is white spot that’s developed or...
I've just finished cleaning my tank out and noticed I have a few worms climbing around in my glass that I haven't seen before I am struggling to get identification on
I have tried to look on lionfishlair to get an I'd but it won't load.
Any help would be appreciated
Not the easiest to take a...
I purchased a large pair of captive bred ocellaris clowns from my LFS 3 days ago, and placed them in a 20 gallon quarantine tank. The clowns were part of a huge group of about 20 clowns all swimming together at the LFS. They settled in fairly well but over the past 3 days they've hardly eaten...
Hi all, I went to pick up a mushroom today and when I arrived the guy was generous enough had packed some free corals for me. He gave me zoas, a stylo, and a monti. I told him that I never owned sps but he said that the ones he gave me were quite easy. For some reason, half of the stylo is white...
Can anyone help ID what this is? They're appearing more and more on my zoas; they still open with no issue although I do notice they arent multiplying as fast as my acan, which has probably doubled in size over the last two months.
Is this zoa pox?
I don't have Furan-2 handy, just Coral Rx...
Looking for a white aquatic life T5 hybrid light, either 24” or 36”. Prefer with 1-2 hours of the Gainesville area... so Tampa, Orlando, Jax. Would consider paying for shipping if it’s not too much from an out of state site. Thanks for looking!
I care for a Saltwater tank at work and I am learning as I go. We have a Lawnmower Blenny, Foxface, Midas Blenny, tangs, clownfish, pajama cardinals, cleaner shrimp, snails, hermits, coral, etc... today I notice 2 new distinctions in the tank. Mind you Salinity is normal and Nitrate/Nitrite test...
Not sure what these are, I just spotted them today on my dry rock that has been in the tank for about 3 months.
Only other things in the tank are 2 clowns, urchine, zoa, mix of snails and a xenia coral which btw happens to be right next to the rock that has these things on them.
Thanks!
