Help! We have a huge setosa that is a real showpiece in our tank. Last night, I noticed a concerningly large section is dying off, and it's happening quickly. (Honestly, it either happened like within a day, or I'm somehow just completely blind considering I sit and just watch our tank every...

Okay i have a 20g tank divided in the centre for my clownfish breeding project. New fish seem to be dying for no reason but there definitely is a reason which i dont know yet. Swimming happily at 6pm then dead at 9pm. But then theres others in there which are fine. Same tank same water. The tank...

I used to be pretty active on here, years ago. Excited to see if some of the OG's are still around. Firstly, thank you for your help in figuring this out! My Tank is a 29 Gal JBJ Cube with Eshopps Nano Cube Refugium Sump Roughly 33-35 gallons overall. Parameters are pretty stable (I will...

hi everyone, this is kind if urgent. So i recently got a anemone and did everything correct into adding it in. I made sure the salinity was ok(1.025), ammonia was 0, nitrite was also 0 and some nitrate. I recently got into this hobby and I read that if you wanted to add corals you would have to...

Hi everyone, I have a reefer 170 for about 10 months now (dry rocks started cycling 2 months earlier), but one of my problems is trouble with my first Montipora Digitata's. A while ago, I decided to test some easy SPS, but things have been going poorly. I know my tank is quite new and...

Every fish in my 60 gallon (20g sump) has died besides my melanarus wrasse. I had a pair of pink skunk clowns, mandarin goby, lemon peel angel, coral beauty, powder tang, clown tang (both tangs were under 4” and would have been transferred to a 200g that is being converted to salt now)...

Over the last two weeks I’ve had two fish go on me, the first was my scopas tang. Looked so weak he was laying down all over the tank so I pulled him and put him in QT, however he eventually passed. Now, about a week or so later I find my blonde naso tang looking a bit weak and swimming a bit...

So recently (29th of Jan 2023) I managed to get my hands on a dragon soul torch head (which was splitting). The torch coral was very healthy in the reef tank of the original owner. From the second it was placed in my reef tank the torch coral never fully extended. First call of blame was...

I'll get the tank stats out of the way first. 20 Gallon Cube AIO with AI Prime 16HD running on David Saxby preset. It's about 6 months old (not including the cycle), and for the first few months everything was going well, corals were completely open and growing, and now pretty much all of my...

Hey guys over the last three weeks my encrusting and happy Bill Murray SPS has been suffering from what I can only guess is STN. I’ve had RTN years ago, but this is completely different. It started with the backside becoming white but leaving the tips still colored, if that makes sense. Over...

We’ve been having issues with our corals, weve added a new recordea mushroom which is settling and doing well, along with a pink chalice which isn’t doing too great, had Zoas and gsp for over 2 months both of which have grown spread and the zoas are doing great. we did have a temperature swing...

Is this RTN? I got this coral frag for free and I'm not too knowledgeable about keeping sps coral. What does this look like to you? I have .08 phos 5 nitrate 8.4 dkh 8.2 ph idk my calc or mag unfortunately Redsea blue bucket salt 1 foxface 2 clowns 1 neon goby 1 YWG and pistol shrimp combo 1...

I’ve tried FB and looking online but can’t seem to find my exact issue…my torch’s and elegance are long time happy residents. Up until the last 2…3…weeks. I was bringing my tank back up from 0.0 nitrate and 0.02 phosphate (now 6.0 and .04) However over the last few weeks I’ve noticed my torch’s...

Hello, I have 2 hammer corals and a torch that have been doing well the last 2 months (puffy) but recently they have started retracting. They have been retracted for the last week and seems to be getting worse slowly. I am not sure if they are able to be saved and am not sure why they started...

Every fish I add the last 3 weeks mysteriously dies. There’s no signs of parasite or disease on the fish at the time of death. So I had an orange shoulder tang and all of a sudden he has a deep slash on him and he was found breathing heavy in the corner, sadly died hours later. I had him for 2...

Hi, 4 days ago one of my cleaner shrimp suddenly died. I noticed that he lost appetite but didn’t think much of it. 1 day later I found him death between two rocks. Didn’t really see a cause of death on the little corpse. Then 2 days ago the other shrimp started to act the same. He seems really...

My corals were doing amazing. Last month I had a phosphate issue. My parameters are now just fine. They seem to be melting - losing the middle little bubble things (dont know what they are called) The light isn't very bright - it was I just changed it lower just in case that was the issue. They...

i added some green chromis stupidly to my tank without quarantine and my coral beauty angel randomly died i didnt take a picture of the body but she had a very apparent wound running from the top of her head down to her front bottom fins, it was a perfectly straight wound. ive been reading it...

Is my candy cane splitting, and how long will it take because it constantly has been like this for a while.

Hello everyone, I am new to the saltwater hobby, I’ve had a 20Gallon Long saltwater aquarium for around 11 weeks now. In the aquarium, I have 3 clownfish, a blue hippo tang, a damsel, two shrimp, a few corrals and several snails. I had a starfish and two gobys (did not have the gobys at the...

Hey! Tank has been cycled for 6 months, and was doing great. Had a gsp frag on the sand that was showing great growth, PE, and everything else. Then, one day after a 20% water change the polyps never come out again. It's been 2 days with them not coming out, is it dead? What could have happened...

Hi, I recently ordered a green bubble tip anenome from the divers den. Upon arrival it looks pretty sad. The mouth is wide open with white coming out of it? I am new to saltwater and this is my first anenome! I've had my tank for about 8 months and it has just been fish and live rock...

Over the last 2 weeks, I have noticed an issue with several of my torch corals. The tentacles near the mouths appear to be shrinking and curling inwards (toward the mouth). I have attached several images with this issue. This issue happened to me once before, and the only issue with my tank at...
