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?
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...

My name's Andrew, and this is my foray into reefkeeping. Excited to be around such knowledgeable and passionate members!
Cycled the tank with the Microbacter Start XLM.
I carelessly didn't read the instructions and ran live...
Hello, I've been having trouble with my zoas. They've been closed for about 2 weeks, and a couple days ago I noticed it's been disappearing. I've tried to keep the Nitrates low and have been performing a 25% water change every week to keep the water quality clean. By changing the water, the pH...
hey guys, i’d just like to grasp an understanding behind the KEY(vital) elements when it comes to growing LPS and SPS, maybe softies in the spectrum of farming corals. i.e conditions you’ve maybe experienced or read about where corals have grown the fastest whether it was the light, specific...
Hello!
I’ve had this toadstool leather for about 5 months. It looks like it’s doing well and has grown considerably, however the polyps are not opening up all the way. They are extended but the green part has never been visible since I brought it home. When I picked it out at the LFS it had the...
Hi guys! I've had this for 3 weeks now. You can tell the lower part of the coral is extending fine, whereas the top part is less open and more stiff. I've moved it around the tank and it's the same result... I've also had a red flower pot in the tank before and it didn't last for more than a few...
Hey, R2R!
Back with another noob question. I’ll start off by saying I apologize if this has been asked and answered before, but I couldn’t find the answer if it has been. Just getting my first beginner corals and selecting them from Livesquaria.com. I see that many of their corals are listed as...
Hi! I’m new to saltwater aquariums! I currently have a 20g tank with 2 clowns in it so far. I have not added corals, but I plan to in the future. I used a combination of frtiz turbostart and Dr. Tims ammonium chloride in a bottle to cycle the tank, monitored the progress daily, then in about 11...
Hey everyone, just wondering how people have moved there tanks in the past and what they did to make it successful? I’m moving 4.5 hours away and my nano reef is coming with me? Just would like some tips and suggestions before I move it to allow all inhabitants the best chance of survival!
hey guys i was just wondering if it was possible to grow anything other than gsp on the backwall? can you basically put any coral on a plug and stick it back there as long as it meets its necessary requirements? any 2 cents helps. thanks!
Do zoa close up when they eat? I fed mine some phyto two days ago and the ones that got the periphery of the phyto spray were open today but the ones that got heavy phyto werent. Is this normal? They’ve been in the tank three days.
also I had 3 polyps of about 20 break off today. I couldn’t...

I’m kinda confused by this coral I thought it was a torch coral but the tentacles don’t really extend like they normally should. I know there’s nothing wrong with it because it just split a couple days ago any ideas?
I had a system crash in June within my DT. Multiple blooms of bacteria and algae. I removed most of my LS to my QT. While in the QT tank, my torch started to close up. On the day that the DT was ready for the LS, I noticed a strange film on the top of my torch. I removed it and placed it in its...
Hey reefers. I have a small candy cane frag with two heads. It has coralline algea growing on the plug it’s on. I am just now noticing on the places where the coralline is growing up the stalk the coral tissue is receding. The frag is doing fine and is open otherwise. Is the coralline algea...
So new to the forums and new to reefing in general and have 1 question that stands out among the others and that question is what the heck is on this frag plug I bought for 5 bucks from my LFS? I asked for some pulsing Xenia as I wanted something easy for now and they have me a big frag plug with a small...
Hey guys. I’ve been feeding these kryptonite canes pellets. I think I’ve been feeding them too much. I was feeding them daily. A few days ago they stopped accepting pellets and since yesterday they aren’t opening as wide as usual. Is this normal? Nothing else in the tank is acting strange. Even...
Hey guys I’ve been feeding my kryptonute candy canes daily. It’s a smal frag with two heads. Today they expelled the pellets I gave them. Am I just feeding them too much? They’re doing great, even healing from a small wound they suffered.
