coral advice

We have a pectinia that had been very happy in its spot for months. But over the last few weeks its skeleton has started to protrude from its points, with one spot protruding pretty significantly. The skeleton is starting to grow algae in places where the it's no longer covered by flesh...

I ordered this hammer coral and it got delayed in shipping. It seems the tip of the polyps have fallen off on some. What are some emergency procedures I can do to maximize the chance of this coral living?

Have had this jack-o-lantern coral for almost a week now, everything is good so far. A couple of days ago I started noticing slimy tentacle-like structures hanging from some coral areas, not sure if this is a normal behavioral/ feeding response or if my coral does need a light/ flow/ parameter...

Hello everyone! Recently purchased some coral and accidentally got this for free which is awesome but I don't know what it is? It's been in quarantine and I just put it in the dt. It feels hard so I'm not sure if it's acan or micromussi or.... what because I'm still new to corals. problem is...

Hey guys this guy was a hitchhiker on one of my feather dusters. It appears to be a type of mushroom but I'm not entirely sure. It was attached to a very small pebble so i glued it to a frag rock. Base color is a blue-ishbrown with green tips. Any info will be appreciated, Thanks

So I have had a bubble coral in my biocube 32 since I around January when I first started the tank. It was a small colony that was doing great for a while up until fairly recently. I have noticed it is closed up most of the time and has a brownish algae it seems on part of its skeleton which can...

Could someone please identify this coral Got at lfs and forgot it's name

Is this a fungus on my zoa? Considering it’s attached to a big live rock, how to i treat it??

My JF stargazer zoas have closed up and look like nubs. They don’t look just closed, they almost looks like they’re losing their skirts or something. they looked similar to the purple monster zoas behind them a week or two ago. Parameters are in within normal ranges except for...

Hi all, I saw something on my digitata and was wondering what it is. It started a few months ago and I originally thought it was hair algae. I cleaned it a couple of times, but it kept coming back. Finally on this week water change I took a couple of pics, and it does not look like algae at...

I bought it from my lfs and I don't know what one it is. Any help identifying it?

If you go to this (https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/candy-cane-coral-splitting-or-dying.962664/) you can see where the problem started, then I made it worse. My candy cane started off dying the Par was way to high. I moved it to a shaded area but for some reason one night I added calcium to my...

I'm starting to plan out my long-term coral layout and need some advice or thoughts. This is my first tank so I'm new to planning it all out. I have fallen in love with Hammers, Torches, and Frogspawn and definitely want to do a Zoa Garden. Below are pictures of my scape and what I'm thinking...

I haven’t been is this hobby too long and my tank is I think about 6-7 weeks old. It is a 15 gallon and I am looking for some beautiful and colorful coral suggestions that are very hard to kill and beginner friendly. Here is what I have so far: Fish 2x Baby ocellarus clowns 1x Baby possum...

I know this is going to be controversial… I have a 13.5 Fluval and I’ve been running it at about 82 degrees. I’ve read that this can help cut down Dino’s growth. It seems to be helping. Any idea what long term effects of this increased temp may be? The corals seem fine but I could be doing...

Hey everyone, meant some advice on my rainbow stylophora. Had my tank for a couple months now. Always liked the condition it was in but got new one and it did well and now it doesn’t look good. It doesn’t open or is starting to bleach. The parameters are as follows: Kh 11.2 Ph 8.3 Ammonia 0.05...

Just realized today that my wellso has a tear in the tissue. What should I do?

So I started out this hobby after having a freshwater for a long time. For some reason, one of my shrimps died today, at least that's what I assume, he's somewhere hiding (I can see him) and he isn't moving. He hasn't come out for a day. The other one doesn't seem to be too keen about eating...

I've had my tank up for about 3 months or so now - before that my dad had it up for years and everything was transferred over. I say that just to make it known that it's not really only 3 months old. It's a Red Sea Reefer 350 with 2 MaxSpect Jump 165 led's and it has a refugium and a Reefer...
