dead

I bought a bubble tip anemone last night at my LFS attached to a live rock as the employee couldn’t get it off. The rock had bristleworms on it so I removed the anemone and soaked the rock in tap water overnight per LFS request. This morning I found a white fleshy blob on the rock. The LFS said...

A dot-dash wrasse I've had for only a few months is a maniac. He's not a stealth jumper, the kind you find behind the tank a week after the fact. Twice now, he's jumped straight out of the front of the tank as I'm standing at it with the door open... landed at my feet both times. Though I'm...

In my 16 gallon, i have some sps growing, i have had this particular acro for about 6 months or more and it has been doing great, growing new branches. Although a few days ago my birds nest that i just got fell onto my acro. I was out from the house for a while and when i came back, my...

I’ve had my Duncan for about 4 days now. I understand it may take some time to open. However it has a brown /white slime over it. Any ideas as to why?!

Long story short, I had an incidental alk swing right after adding a few frags. I’m not seeing any PE on two of them, but they still have some color and what appears to be tissue. Where the polyps should be, there’s what appear to be dark circles. Tank parameters are all in check and have been...

I’m out of town so I’m relaying this through my fiancée. Last night she fed the Lubbock’s, Naoko and Orange Back fairy wrasses and everyone was seemed normal. They’ve been awesome. I was trying to get some chloroquine phosphate because the Lubbock’s was lethargic the first week. The last week...

I have a Reefer 350 that has been running for about five to six months, with three fish, a mini angel, a royal gramma and a damsel fish. I have tried all sorts of invertebrates and they just won’t survive. Snails, coral, an anemone and cleaner shrimp. My only living invert is a tiny blue hermit...

a few days ago, all my fish had begun dying. I found that my nitrates were sky rocketing (500 ppm) and I was so disappointed I didn’t catch it earlier. I was panicking trying to save what I had left, so I did a total water change because of how crazy the nitrates were. Just this morning my last...

A friend of mine today gave me a large cowrie snail, asking me to clean it out for her to use as a shell. I told her I would, but I’m not gonna go and hurt a creature like that so instead I put it in my tank at home. Once I got home, I put it in and I did see it move a bit, but I’m afraid it was...

okay, so Sunday I realized my tank was in trouble. I should have found out sooner, since one of my corals started looking unhappy by last Thursday. I tested my calcium and got 330 PPM. I'm trying to keep it at 450 PPM, but by Monday it dropped down to 300 PPM. Turns out my Apex was programmed...

Hello all. I am a newbie to the hobby, but I got addicted so fast I love it. My tank has been up and doing great for the past year. I have made many improvements and have learned all lot. I moved this past week and after 1 day of moving the tank, everything died. All the corals, All the fish...

i have a 55 gallon mixed tank that had been up and running for about 6 months or so w/o significant issue. I have been battling high nitrates, but everything (fish and coral) has seemed happy. In a foolish attempt to lower my nitrates I did about a 50% water change and it killed 5 snails, a...

Hey all, So I'm not exactly sure how to confirm this, but I was performing maintenance on my tank last night and was moving a little sand around because my powerhead's current was creating a dune. I have one LARGE piece of liverock where a pistol shrimp lives. At the entrance to his...

Hello I have had my foxface, named Scotty, for about 4 months now, and tonight when I went down to admire my fish late at night with all the blue light I noticed he was limping along, I did my water parameter checks making sure everything was inline but he sadly passed away. I did not see any...

I have two tanks. One that's a 5 gallon and one that's a 22 gallon. Yesterday I did water changed on both using the same water from one big batch. Anyways, about 4 hours after the water change the fish in the 5 gallon were struggleing. They could hardly breath and 2 fish died. The third (a...

Hi I added a diamond watchman goby 25 days ago in my 54 gallon corner tank. He was drip acclimated and I have never seen him since he was added to the tank is it possible he burrowed and just died under the sand somewhere? He has no aggressive tank mates and my readings for Ammonia and Nitrite...
