I woke up this morning to a dead royal gamma which was perfectly fine yesterday and active. I have two yellow tail clownfish, a gobe fire fish and a lont tentacle anemone. All water parameters are good and nothing is wrong, same with salinity. The tank is a 20 gallon long and has great...

Hello Everyone, I have got a Naso Elegans 4 Months ago. Since then he had something fluffy on his swimming arm. Only the one side. So far, I tried to make a treatment by feeding him with garlic but nothing has changed. He was always eating good Nori, he eats only nori, garlic and mysis. I dont...

Six line wrasse has this strange white spot, it doesn’t appear to be ich but not positive. Any thoughts? He’s swimming and eating normally.

Hi all, I purchased a pair of juv clownfish from my LFS about 1.5 weeks ago. They were doing fine, feeding well and moving well. We noticed some white poop on the smaller one, and we treated it with prazipro. So far they are doing well except that yesterday, I noticed some spots on their fins...

Hello, So This is a little big of a long story. I have a quarantine tank up because I have velvet in my display tank. It has been a little over 6 weeks. I have extended by 2 weeks since i have made the mistake of putting my hand from qt to the other to my dt. My hand may have been dry but I was...

Hello, I'd like to figure out what these spots are on a number of my corals. My cyphastrea is covered in them and it is not doing well so I wonder if they are the problem. The spots are invisible to my eye but my cyphastrea is more brown/orange than usual and I think its because of all of the...

Hi, I just reintroduced my clownfish to my display tank after a 3 month QT period. After a day he developed a sort of white fuzzy patch on his white band. Today I noticed a single white dot on his face. Since the DT was fallow for 3 months, and he was in QT for 3 months I am wondering if this is...

So I have an orange line chromis that I noticed was missing some of his tail fin about a week ago but he’s going strong and eating. I’m not noticing any bullying going on, but obviously can’t watch 24/7. Today I’ve noticed strange patches on him that I need help with. I also have a black clown...

the edges of his fins have had little whiter marks that I assumed were nip marks from the larger clown. Directly on his gills, I noticed some slimey looking white splotch. I received this fish from ORA breeder, which has a history of very healthy fish, but anything can happen. Should I be...

Wanted to reach out to get some help for my torch. I have had this for well over a year and it was growing great, always fluffed up and happy. Fast forward to a few months ago I added a percula clown that decided to aggressively host the torch and it started looking very beat up. The clown as...

Maroon clown got ich today, bought a QT... Should I start with hyposalinity (+ freshwater bath too???) or start with chemical treatment (which one, herbatana, paraguard, coppersafe???) Please let me know exactly what I should do. And how long should I fallow the DT?

Maroon clown got ich today, bought a 20G QT, heater, filter and some herbatana. Should I start with hyposalinity (+ freshwater bath?) or start with chemical treatment (copper, herbatana, paraguard)? Please let me know exactly what I should do. And how long should I starve the DT, 45 days?

I just noticed that my hammer has a black fuzzy looking coating over it. I have no idea what is happening. It’s open and happier than ever during the day. Please let me know what I can do

Hi everyone, This is the second clownfish I've bought with this problem. The first one I had to take it back to the lfs because it was in a more advanced stage. I have no idea what this could be or what to do best as I'm a beginner in saltwater fish tanks and reefs. The orange clownfish (I...

Hey everyone. I got a juvenile frostbite clown back in June. Starting maybe 2-3 months ago, I noticed that she would occasionally rub her left side against the sand bed. I tried to look for any signs of ich or anything else, but nothing. I finally noticed today that there appears to be an ulcer...

I’m gonna try and make this short, but it’s been a long journey. Mae started our 75gal in June, it was cycled and started slowly adding fish in July. In September we noticed several of our fish had white spots which we believe to be ICH and our LFS (where we purchased all fish) gave us some...

Hi All, I noticed a couple of months ago my clownfish were getting some black dots here and there. After doing some research i was fairly confident they were sting marks from laying in corals surrounding where they base themselves (mainly Zoas). I noticed the other day part of the white towards...

Have had this tang in quarantine for a few weeks now yesterday I noticed one little spot on it that looked like a scrape now today it looks like this. Any help would be appreciated so I can get this guy fixed up. Ammonia 0 ppm Nitrite 0 ppm Nitrate 10 ppm Salinity 1.024 Ph 7.9

Hey there, I recently added a kole tang into my 5ft display tank with 3 other tangs (sailfin, powder blue, blue hippo). Fish looked fine prior to being introduced but within 1hour he now has face markings that looks to be from some form of disease/ infection/ fungi. He also has a few white...

My new melanurus wrasse just came out of hiding today and I noticed it possibly “flashing” against a rock. When it turn I noticed it had what might be cuts on its body, but I didn’t know if it would still attempt to brush the rock if it was truly a cut. My lfs kept him for 4 weeks and states...

I recently noticed little white spots on my four red spot glass cardinals (Apogon parvulus). I treated for internal parasites (more on that later) and when that didn’t work I assumed it might be ich and moved all of my fish (the 4 cardinals, a Helfrich’s firefish, and a pink streaked wrasse) to...

Hi, I got my YWG 4 days ago and off the bat he wasn't acting too normal. I thought he was just shy. But he just sits in his cave and the 2nd day I noticed he had some loose tissue on his lips. 3rd day, he had pale spots on his cheeks, and now today, his eyes are foggy and enlarged. I ordered...

I have had a pink spotted goby for about 2 weeks in my FOWLR tank with 2 clowns and snails. He seemed perfectly fine until today. Didn’t really come out at feeding time or even go for the bits that went right past his face. His mouth is open and he’s gasping- but neither of my clowns are. It...

Last night I noticed that my Coral Beauty Angel Fish has one eye that is swollen and looks as if it is going to pop out. It is cloudy and looks like a cloudy white slime is over it. I did a 5 gal WC last night. It seems that it wouldn't be Popeye because it is only one eye. I just got home...

I recently bought a Flame Angelfish that unfortunately passed in less than a day. I was wondering what killed it. I noticed that it was breathing pretty quickly and had white bubbles all over it. Attached is the best picture I could get of it, you might notice some of it on the tail. I brought...
