My zoas have been growing great lately and have been acting completely normal. I noticed these white dots on them and my rocks near by while feeding. Any one have any idea what this is and what to do about it?

Hello there, In late April of 2024 I purchased 4 Dispar Anthias. They arrived in great condition, and took to acclimation very well. Knowing the challenges of keeping Anthias I readily fed them throughout the days and 4 out of the 5 put on good weight and looked very healthy. One of the 5 did...

My blue hippo tang developed this almost clear/ white spots along the spine and face. I’ve had him in qt for about three to four months trying different treatments. I have dosed Fritz coppersafe, pimafix, and melafix. Little to no result from all following directions on bottles. He still is...

Hello everyone! I did a bit of research on fin diseases and parasites before I dipped my Midus Blenny, in FW for 5 minutes to try and fix whatever is on his fin. It definitely looks like some parasite to me, but he appears completely healthy, after just getting him two days ago from my LFS. I...

Hello everyone, I have a question mu sailfin has these black spots they lighten and darken here and there through the day, breathing seems fine, eats like a pig daily Water parameters are in normal limits, phos is slightly high but still not too bad. Sailfin resides solo with a cleaner wrasse...

I have had this trumpet for a long time, originally in a pretty low light 5 gal, until about a year ago i moved it to the big tank. Was happy for the first couple months but its condition has slowly deteriorated after a magnesium spike, and magnesium is still a bit high. Moved it to 60 par low...

Hey all, Hoping someone can id and provide a treatment plan for my yellow clown goby. His face/gills on both sides are white, which I dont recall seeing when he was in qt. Added to DT last Saturday, no other symptoms at this point in time. TIA

I just got my first saltwater tank up and running... It's a 210 gallon tank and I have 4 black ocellaris clownfish that I have been using to start my cycle on the tank. I added them on 10/22/2023 and now on 10/31/2023 I noticed that only one of my clownfish has these white "spots" and from a...

Hi all, recently noticed my clowns are starting to develop a minor white haze. I will post a picture below. Recently when through a small ugly stage otherwise the parameters are been stabile. Any advise would be great on how I should move forward. Thanks

I had two clown fish in my new tank for almost a month now. I acquired the fish as quarantined from Dr. Reef. Tank was cycled with live sand, dry rock, Dr. Tim’s bacteria and anmmonia and the only other thing I’ve added since is copepods and phytoplankton from algae barn. My fish seemed...

Hey all, first clown in brand new cycled tank. Noticed some white blotches along his body, any help is appreciated. The guy was a little beat up on his tail from the LFS, he has been staying in generally 1 spot all day, yesterday he was totally normal, but did notice white mucus like on his body.

I think it probably is, I’m just wondering what I should do if I don’t have a quarantine tank for it.

New to reefing fish help Hello, I'm not sure if you can possibly help but I recently got a tank all setup. I got it cycled with the Tim's fishless method which took me around 20 days. I finally was able to get fish this past Saturday I got 2 snowflake clowns and they've been great until...

I came back from work today with a new flame fin tomini tang and before I put him in, I noticed that my domino damsel, purple tang, and fu man chi lion all had white spots. I’m not sure if it’s ich but if it is. I’d like to treat it as soon as possible.

Yesterday I bought a China pearl wrasse from my lfs. I brought it home in the evening and it was picking off of every rock and went into the sand at around 430 am. It came out around 1230 pm today and has been acting strange but picking off of my power head and also ate some mystis shrimp. It is...

Been fighting low phosphates and high nitrates finally got my nitrates from around 100 parts per million to around 25. Keeping my phosphates up by dosing neophos everyday. These things used to disappear when the nitrates were out of control during the night but then would return during the day...

Here's a long one. Please any info helps I'll attach pictures of my setup So I might have a leak. Last night about 4 cups of water went missing in about 4 hours. Before this happened, my last recorded salinity was 1.025. And My tank has glass lids that cover the entire top AND a canopy so...

One of my clownfish (wild caught) (that i bought 4 weeks ago) is acting weird. It is not coming up to the surface for feeding time and is swimming mostly at the bottom. I don’t know if he is exploring or something. He is just staying around the microalgae. Also this may be unrelated but both my...

I just got this puffer in the mail today, the bag had hardly any air in it so I tried to work fast. I floated him for about 10 min and drip acclimated him for I’d say 45min doubling the water volume twice. I did not net him or remove him from the water he did not puff up at all. He was swimming...

Had this Blenny for about a week now and I check on him daily, today I noticed this large ball on its fin. Any ideas what this could be, should I isolate it is it contagious, treatment ideas? Anything helps photos below thank you!

Hi, my three spot blenny suddenly stopped eating today and hiding away in its little cave. It was breathing hard so I thought of ammonia rise. Did 20% PWC. Later on, it came out and swam like frenzy, almost hitting itself to the substrate. In that instant, I thought he was a gonner. I decided...

Hi about 3 days ago these zoas stopped opening up all the way and looked odd maybe deformed. The tank is fairly new maybe a little over 4 months now, so these zoas we're still growing on the plug. I noticed that there was a couple white sponges growing on the back and the side of the plug as...

I went over to my tank to take a look at whats going on and I saw my YWG outside of his cave and he had a fairly large white spot in front of his dorsal fin (shown in picture (sorry its bad Ill take another one later on today when the lights go to normal)). I really don't want to loose this guy...

So I just got these mocha vinic clowns last week. They seemed to be doing well, and eating. On eats and spits out the pellets or just eats the tiny stray mysis legs that float around after the others demolish the mysis. So little to no nutritional value. However, today I actually REALLY watched...
