Hello fellow saltines,
I just picked up two Gorgonian frags (a corky and purple plume). These are my first corals. I just dipped in Revive for close to 15 mins. Now they're in a fresh saltwater rinse. I was about to dump out the Revive mix when I saw something moving in the bottom. I thought it...
Found this on my glass as the lights were dimming. Brownish/red color very long approx 3-4” and extremely thin, no visible bristles. Possibly was 1 very long one or even 2 I’m uncertain if it was cut in half etc. so could have easily been 5” fully extended.
Hi everyone,
Do any of you know what this is growing on the bottom of this montipora?
Coral isn’t happy, planning a lugol’s dip and slight relocation.
Thanks,
Adam

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...
One of the heads on my torch was closed up the other day, and I saw a black dot on it. Next it went straight into some coral RX and some critters fell off...

The head still isn't open (not even a day after the dip, but still...), so I'm hoping...
So my wife had me clean and move a bookshelf on the side of the tank today and I've been enjoying a view of the tank I haven't had and noticed the sand bed was pushed up on the glass.
Low and behold I see worms in the sand I don't recognize. I'm terrified for the worst ID possible, but I can't...
The worm is in the center extending from the rock. It bores into the rock and has been in the same spot for months. I can tell it is boring into the rock because it leaves behind a small pile of castings every so often in the exact same spot. It has no bristles and does not appear to be...
Can't figure out if this was a ca problem, precipitation for far to long or some kind of worm eating the coral. Heads look great eats at night. Coral makes me scared. Didn't notice until I was working on a clean up. In the photo the left branch is holding on by a thread
These are very small. Can barely see them with my eye but I used a high power magnifying glass over the camera lens to capture an image an video. Please tell me these aren't bad. But if they are how do I remove them!?
I know they aren't too harmful to things but I just don't want to have worms burrowing into any of my corals. And Im worried about the future of my tank. I have some spionid worms in my sand bed. Anyone have any luck with creatures / fish that eat these worms, Ways to control the population, or...
Found this 10 mins ago. There are a bunch of them. Seems like when the lights go out, they come out. Are they good or bad. Also, what do they eat and what is it? What do they do?
Just set up my first saltwater tank (FOWLR) and found this in a piece of cured live rock. What the heck is it and how can I remove it. Whether it’s harmless or not, I don’t like it’s ugly mug.
This one I should have taken a picture of while still in the tank but it looks pretty much the same (first pic is the top side, second is the bottom). It was clung to the glass and (with a glove on) I drug it up to the surface and struggled the take it off the glass and it felt pretty...
alrighty so I purchased this Annularis Angelfish from my LFS a few days ago, he has been eating fine until today, he’s still acting normal, i’ve never dealt with worms before so should i just run some copper through the tank? help me out here guys, thank you
Would love to know what this is and if it needs to be removed. Never seen it before and haven't added anything to the tank in the last 6 months.
thanks :)
Hypothetically if you were Australian and you were struggling for months to find a distributor in your country to purchase a specific Nudibranch you have researched in depth, and it is illegal to import pretty much all marine animals in Australia without a license. And you didn't want a license...
I have just caught this one in the picture. It is in a drop of water so quite small maybe 5mm. One side looks like feather of some sort so could be a baby feature duster in loose
Stationary tentacle or worm, nocturnal, rapidly shrinks in bright light to what basically just looks like a pebble of sand stuck in a some snail slime.
Edit: not sure the video is going to work so here are stills
