I was wondering if the community had tips on controlling/removing a black sea sponge, It has not hurt my corals yet but my sea anemones seem to really not like it, I cut it back with tweezers/lower light, but the black sponge seems relentless. Any help is greatly appreciated

Hey reefers (: I added a hammer to my tank last week (my first eupyllia) and I can’t tell if it’s really happy or too floppy… I just wanted to verify that it’s doin okay… what do you all say?

Hi, I am trying and struggling to keep coral and I just brought in a tuxedo urchin to help with my algae issue and he when I bought him had a green star polyp on him the store gave me for free. I noticed this little thing crawling around and at first I thought it was also a star polyp but this...
I'm hoping to add some Euphyllia to my tank as its a bit more on the mature side now. Out of hammers, torches, and all other Euphyllia which is the easiest to keep alive,

Hey all! I'm looking for suggestions on corals that will be happy on the sand bed, or on a small island for support if needed at the very bottom of my tank. PAR in the area I'm looking at comes in around 220. I've been looking around and visited the best local coral shop for inspiration, but I'm...

I just brought home my first corals… went with pulsing Xenia and GSP… but I’m having a hard time figuring out where flow is low enough in my tank that would be good for the Xenia and where a good place to glue the gsp would be… any input is appreciated (:
Almost every day or every few days my Frogspawn will become inflated/puffy like the picture attached. It usually happens after lights out and only lasts for around 30 mins to an hour, then it will go back to looking like it normally does.
It has been splitting into two heads since July and has...
Putting up a large sale post. My frag tank full of LPS has gotten a little ridiculous with a bunch of favias taking over and stinging other stuff so it's time to do a fall cleaning. Shipping is based on zip unless it's over 350 then it's at my cost. DOA terms are standard, no specific time just...
Hello everyone! I am kinda new to corals and reefing and am having some trouble with my corals. I don't know what is wrong because my parameters are perfect with nitrate being the only thing that is a little high (by high I mean that it's like 5). I have also been testing my phosphates and those...
About 10 days ago my large green leather toadstool stopped extending and a good sized patch of GSP next to it closed up. They both remained closed for about 5 days until they slowly started showing again. Nothing new was recently added to the tank and after two days of not showing I did a...
