disease

Hi all, First time post. I have a Nano Marine tank with 3 corals, a Scarlet Skunk Cleaner Shrimp and a Black Common Seahorse. For about 2 weeks now, the seahorse has had a visible disease/issue with his eye, and it does not appear to be getting better. I have attached photos for a visual of...

I have a Lineatus Wrasse that I have had for 2-3 years. He was healthy and active last week. The rest of my fish are doing great as well as my corals. I went away on vacation and had someone feed my tank daily, probably overfed my tank. The first day back with my lights on I noticed him lying...

Hello guys i have a bad ich problem on my tank and i am looking got a solution to fix this and treat it the right way. Only problem i have is that i live in a small studio and don't have space for a quarantine tank so that is out of the way i am looking for a reef safe option to treat and fix...

Hi There, Please can you help me out with a Diagnosis? One of my clowns (which I've had for about a month) had the other day what looked like Fin Rot on the tail fin. I’ve since been treating with Polyplab Crystaline Peroxide Salts on the advice of the Local Fish Store. However, since then...

hi all. I’ve had this pj cardinal in quarantine since I had an ich outbreak in my tank. He is currently being treated with CP and I noticed his fins have a black edge and are partially gone. He sits next to the heater a lot in the QT so I can’t decide if he’s burned his fins, has fin rot, or...

Hey I've got a gonodactylus chiragra that I picked up from a poor local store that had it in terrible conditions so I decided to rescue the little guy from them, anyway it has a small tan spot on the telson that I believe to be shell rot. I've done tons of research before and after purchasing...

Hello again guys !! So heres my story, i purchased a yellow eye tang off live aquaria, and made the HUGE mistake of not QT the fish. My tank beforehand has never faced any kind of disease/etc. so anyway as i was observing the new arrival i noticed what many of us dread .. i saw a few, tiny white...

What is it and how to treat it?

Hello all, I am new to this forum and I would like to say first off thanks for your help in advance. I bought a queen angelfish (about 1.5"-2") from my LFS about 3 weeks ago. Since his arrival to my tank, he's been eating very well and swimming around happy as can be. Up until 3 days...

I have a copperband butterflyfish on hold for me at my LFS, and the first day I saw him I decided to get him because I've always wanted one and I watched him eat mysis (I've heard it's hard to get copperbands to eat frozen/prepared foods). He looked great, he was active and picking at the rocks...

hey guys I bought a clownfish about 3 weeks ago and today I noticed 3-5 black spots on it, i did a water change yesterday. I've read it could be black ich or nothing at all so can I have some help diagnosing it and what to do about it. It was hard to get a good picture but this is what I got

Anyone know what these white bumps are on my clown??

Hi Everyone, Need help w figuring out the problem w these zoas. I floated frag in bag to equalize temp, then dipped a few frags in coral rx. Rinse w tank water then placed new frags in qt tank. My other frags are doing great, but this one in the picture has mucous surrounding a few polyps...

I purchased a valentini from petco today to add some personality to a fishless 30g. When I started the acclimation, I noticed white dots on a couple of his fins. He seems happy enough, but I have noticed him flashing a couple times. Hes the sole fish in a tank with live rock and an emerald...

Infographic: The Life Cycle of Marine Ich Understanding the life cycle of Ich makes the disease easier to treat!

Welcome to Reef City Houston!

Sooo I once upon n a time had a pretty large colony of eagle eye zoas and noticed the colony getting smaller and smaller.. I am a zoaholic soooo I have several polyps that are expensive that I do not want this happening to.. can you see anything in the pictures that would be eating this one...

My last night my clownfish started acting weird, but I went to bed thinking that he'd be fine in the morning. This morning I woke up to see him laying on the floor of my tank. I tried to gently lift him with the net, but he started swimming away. I watched him swim for a bit and noticed that...

My McCosker just had they white dots/bumps show up on him. I think this is Ick but wanted a second opinion. If it is, what should we do. We do not have a quarantine tank. I couldn't get a good shot of it, but they are especially bad on tail fin.

so I'm not sure if this was just a coincidence or if it inadvertently did kill off the ich in my system. Since I started my reed tank, (roughly a 1 1/2 years ago) my tank was plagued by ich, I couldn't get a fish too survice for longer than 4 months (excluding wrasses and gobies). I would...
