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...

I have two frags that I’m not sure what they exactly are, and I also have a blastomussa which may have aiptasia but not 100% sure. I’ll put the links to videos below. Thanks in advance! 1. https://youtube.com/shorts/fsaeguCaBXo?feature=share 2...

Lf any help I can get lol getting frustrated with this hobby despite the love I have for it! My understanding is that these two corals you can throw in a toilet and they would live, so what is going on? Parameters in picture. 4 month old tank. Salinity ranges from 1.025-1.026 Nitrates are high...

I had the pleasure of shopping at Southwest Aquaculture, and when I say they not only take amazing care of their coral that is aquacultured in house, but the customer service is out of this world! They are very helpful with information about the corals and put the customer first based on their...

Hello all, I have recently added my first fish to my 30-gallon tank about 2 weeks ago and now I have caught the itch for coral. I don't think that my light is good enough for any coral, It is a Fluval Aquasky (I know, not good, but it was included with the tank I bought). I am in the market for...

Hello! I have a 20 gallon running with live rock, aragonite sand, an AI Prime, and Reefflowers Coral Salt Mix. Right now I have lots of zoas and GSP that are doing great. The only stony coral I have that has consistently done well in my tank is the duncan colony. It is growing super well and I...

So my coral i bought a while ago maybe 3-4 months has been of late just always been leaning left and pretty much hitting the sand when it use to always be upright and looking good havent changed much at all idk what it could be? I took off the rock for the sole purpose of a better picture but...

So I’m not good at aquascaping and I’ll own that. What I have works meaning it’s allowing flow and fish safe habitats. However I want to add more coral and just feel like the current scaping won’t allow me too much creativity for that. Like there is to much empty space. To add to that I have...

Good day everyone! i need help to define what coral is this on the picture. When i bought it i thought it was a zoa/polys. I’m new on this hobby and my tank is just 2 months old. I appreciate the response. Thank you.

Hey guys. I am fairly new and wanted to see if I can get some advice on if I am doing things correctly and where to go from here. Tank is 2 months old. Finished cycling after 2 weeks, and added 2 clowns (Phantom and Misbar), 4 Nassarius snails, and 4 Astrea snails. Unfortunately the Phantom...
