Hello Fellow Reefers, I recently set up a Red Sea Reefer 250 and as you can see from the picture it’s just needs more life - lots more! I don’t really have much in terms of plants/coral and I could really use some help in terms of suggestions. Any ideas in terms of hardy coral and fish that...

Officially placed some new corals into the 75g set up today! The existing mushrooms look great so thought it was time to expand. Stopped by our local aquatics shop in Madison AL Aquatic Cove and picked up some cool frags. Grabbed a Duncan and a few different Favia. Any advice is appreciated...

Hey Everyone, I'm new to reefing (and Reef2Reef!) and am currently at the stage of introducing corals to my tank (no fish yet, just some snails and conch). I added a Paly colony, a purple ribbon gorgonia, ricordia, montipora, and gsp back on September 12. Before introducing them I drip...

I’ve had “Toadstool” for almost six months and he’s done beautifully. Normal behavior of droop and shed. This shed though, I saw some darkness around his cap. Is Toad getting sick? Dying? There are sponges at the base, but they’ve delved deeper into the rock, not up his stalk. Thoughts...

Hey guys, so I have never owned a plate coral, but a local hobbiest is selling some I couldn't pass up. I could use some advice on lighting, flow, and I've read mixed things on putting on rockwork or in the sand. I prefer in the sandbed, my concern is him getting knocked over or moved by my...

Hi all, I'm having trouble with corals bleaching in my 125. I'm running the orbit pro LED's. I have tried turning them down and they still seem to be bleaching. Parameters are all doing pretty well. I do weekly water changes. I do not dose anything (but maybe I need to?) I have a birds nest (...

Hi guys, I just picked up my first coral yesterday and was told to let it sit in the shade. I read that it takes a while for them to open back up, hes not opened up yet but he is definitely less ticked off than yesterday haha. My question is, when do I turn my lights on for him? Should I do it...

What are some good CUCs and beginner corals I should be looking at? I have a 25g lagoon with two clowns just introduced to the tank. Looking to get a CUC in there in about a week or so. I was thinking of getting a goby, and maybe a cleaner shrimp and/or a couple of snails. On the topic of...

Hi, I have a 20 gallon tank and I got this meteor shower and a xenia about a week ago. My tank is relatively new (a little over a month) and my xenia is thriving but my cyphastrea wont open. I have it at the bottom of my tank and its been this brown color ever since I got it. Please help.

When I started my second build a few years ago, It made me pretty sad. I couldn’t tell why I thought it was ugly but it just was. With my previous tank, I had this l“aha!” moment one day where I pictured the direction I wanted to go and how I wanted corals to grow in eventually. But with the new...

Just got home from work and everything was puffy and nice, I’ve been sitting here the whole time and and nothing bothered it or touched it in general now it looks like this! It’s just the one polyp but that one is the biggest one of them all. Do they normally randomly shrink from time to time...

LFS gave this to me as a mystery frag...well it is a mystery to me for sure...I do t know what it is where is should go or how to take care of it. When I called back and asked her she did t know either...slightly annoyed...

So had this wall hammer just over a week. And it’s completely melted off. Stripped back to the Skelton. No idea why, because got a frogspawn at the same time and that has been thriving. my question is, do I get rid of the Skelelton or is there a change of regrowth?

Somebody gave me this coral frag but neglected to tell me what exactly it is.. Or what is wrong with it I've only had it a couple of days now

Got this new coral last week. And it’s been like this for a few days. It has reduced and opened more but just seeing if there’s any cause for concern.

Hi all, Would someone please help me identify what could have possibly caused my Frogspawn to bailout. I thought that everything seemed to be pretty healthy but I'll include some pictures of the rest of the tank and corals for reference. One head ejected 8/7 and one last night/this am 8/10...
