coral advice

I have had him in my tank for 5 days the first time I noticed this was last night. I have never kept one of these before so I have no clue if it is growth or dye off. It is at about 180 par.

Hi all, LFS told me this was a daisy coral, but having trouble being sure what kind specifically/if it is one at all. Anyone able to ID? Any tips on care as well would be appreciated. Thanks everyone

Hi all, just a post as I can’t find much on it online. Is it possible to add new fish or corals to a tank that has a Dino outbreak? just curious thanks

What it says in the title, what is the NUMBER ONE easiest coral to keep? In accordance to hardiness and maybe beauty!

Hello! I'm getting ready to set up my first saltwater tank. My husband has had large saltwater tanks in the past (75+gal) but I'm just trying to set up a 30gal for 2 clownfish, an anemone, maybe some shrimp, and a starfish. I'm not sure if/how much coral I might get as I still need to do more...

Upgraded my tank from 40 gallon to 120 gallon. After moving all the corals from 40g to 120g leather coral shrunk and never opened again, its been more than 2 weeks and its still in the same state. It used to open up nicely in my 40g and now it’s not even 1/4 of its original size and leaning to a...

this coral has been very irritated and is turning white and dying in one area. The polyps have been closed mainly. Has anyone seen anything like this? All other corals and fish are fine!

Hey all! Very new to keeping saltwater reef tanks and new to this forum as well. I was at my lfs here in NYC and they had a sale of $10 frags with a huge selection. I picked up a few acclimated and put them in the tank. They’ve been going good so far. I was hoping someone could identify these...

Last week I ordered coral frags and decided to start my reef tank in my 29 GAL which was FOWLR before. Now I knew nothing about reefing or the chemistry but taught myself while waiting for my corals. I set my reef tank up and used Kents Nano Reef A&B to start up the tank. However After using Red...

I have had this coral for a few months now and recently it started to have this white fungus looking thing growing on it. At first I thought the white bulbs were new heads but as it started to take over more of the coral I realized it wasn’t. Anyone able to id what this is or what I should do? I...

Hi there, I'm looking for a good amino mix for my corals, However, my tank is a nano reef at only 50L, I have been tempted by the AquaForest amino mix as I have heard good things but it says 1 drop per 100L. I assume that means that this wont be suitable to use in my setup. Could anyone...

I had to move my bubble and now it’s like this, will it be okay?

Good evening, This is my first post to this forum so here's to hoping everything goes well! haha I've been wondering why my tank hasn't been doing too good for the past 2-3 months. The corals have basically been retracted and slowly dying off for the previous time stated. my current tank...

I glued my Kenya tree in a position where there seems to be to much weight from gravity for it to handle. I just got it and I’m wondering if it will start reaching toward my lights and fix itself? Or should I fix it now? It’s just in a good spot so I’d rather not move it. Btw in the pics I had...

So I’m not sure if I’m completely losing my mind but I’ve been struggling getting my calcium levels up and I’m starting to feel like my test just isn’t accurate. I’ve never had this problem with my api test kit before but this is strange. I have a Xenia coral, green galaxea a very very small...

Need advice, as im new to reefing. How do I hold down a small loose mushroom? Like when it isn't attached to a frag plug.

Hello All! I recently got my corals that I ordered. I got a blue spruce candy cane and green watermelon mushroom :) Both arrived happy and healthy. I acclimated, dipped, and placed near the bottom of the tank. I left my light off for an hour (AI Prime) and then put it on acclimation mode. The...

So I noticed one of my acan corals mouth was wide open with whit stringy things coming out. I was wondering if this was normal or if anyone has seen this before

Hey everyone I have a question in regards to my GSP. I’m not sure if it is dead or not or has some disease. It closed up for a bit but then the lower polyps began to grow so I’m not sure if I should just leave it alone or do any preventive measures on the white part. I have another coral in my...

Hi i added this coral about 3 weeks ago. Not sure if its expanding or dying. New to the hobby and any pointers would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for your time!

I recently bought a Hanna low range ammonia checker. In the description on how to use, it only references freshwater. Did I buy the wrong one? I have a reef tank. Picture attached

I haven’t looked at it under normal light now that I think of it but here are some pictures. Some insight would be appreciated!
