dying

Hello, I’m quite desperate. I’m relatively new to the hobby and since a month or two my poor turbinaria coral is going in decline. Every day I wake up and it’s missing more and more polyps, leaving behind naked coral and a hole. What is wrong with it? I tested all parameters and they’re...

Hey everyone hows it going Ive started my Reef tank about 3 months ago, let it mature a little bit and decided to add some torches. The tank is a fluval evo 13.5. The first one i put in was doing absolutely fine and extending a lot, a week or two later i bought a jade torch with 4 heads and put...

Hey all - I have had this anemone for almost 6 months maybe longer. It has always looked amazing never any issues. Today at like noon it started just like shriveling up and looking weird, I thought it maybe ate or something. Anyways, I just looked at it and it has a huge hole in the middle. I am...

Is my hammer pooping or what? Its been fine this morning then i came home to this. Looks like white slime coming out of the centre. Hard to see in the pic but theres a 1 inch string of slime. It also shrivelled up so much. Its normally open up to about 3 inches? I used a turkey baster and sucked...

Do you think the lavender mushroom above is dying or splitting into two? I swear it's growing a second butthole but it's my first coral and I really don't know. I wouldn't be surprised if it's not doing so well, story below. On the other hand, to my completely untrained eye, it also looks...

I went to a not so local lfs today, saw some really bright green almost golden hammer in a frag tank. I only had 5 mins to spend in the shop as i had to go somewhere. So i kinda impulse bought the hammer frag. The price list stated ‘per head’ so it sounds like a branching hammer coral to me. So...

Last week I noticed my Coral Beauty's left eye was cloudy, milky, and swollen. I moved her to a QT tank and started dosing FURAN2. I did 4 days of FURAN-2 and did 25% WCs every 2 days. I waited a day then dosed Kanaplex to the tank, first dose almost 48 hours ago. I came home to find her...

My Hollywood stunner chalice has been growing like crazy for the past 2 years and has never showed any signs of dying or receding until a few days ago. It looks like something has been eating at it. If anyone knows anything I’d really appreciate the help. This chalice is the show piece in my...

It looks like my chalice coral frag touched a favia frag. The chalice seems ok outside a little white spot where it made contact, the favia frag however is half fuzzy and slimy and dull. The other half seems plenty normal though. Is there anyway to save the favia?

I purchased live rock and unknowingly it came with a baby bubble tip nem. My tank is about a week old and not established at all. The nem isn’t doing so well and only comes out when the lights are off sometimes. What do i do?

Hi everyone Had a huge temp increase during the first heat wave. Temp went from 78 to 84.5 in a day or 2. I have fans now at least! Question is, what are the chances of recovery on these guys? They still have some polyp extension, but I'm not sure if STN or just bleaching.

I need some help with my Sebae. He has not seemed happy since I have bought him. I have had him for about a month now. Sunday he started to look really bad his mouth is open pretty wide. He is not loosing his color and he is still eating. It might just be stress but I would like some other...

Hi everyone, First and foremost, here are my tank specs: Fluval Evo 13.5 AI Prime 16HD running BRS's AB+ schedule at 40%, mounted 9 inches above the water surface, and 20 inches above the sand. It is run at 40% intensity for 6 hours a day with a two hour ramp up and down. 10 lbs of live rock...

Hello, I am looking for some feedback on SPS corals (and tank in general) after battling a dino outbreak. 1 year old tank (112 gallon)....full parameters below. Had a substantial dino outbreak/plague. Humbling but rolled with the punches as I knew that, being new to the hobby, there would be...

My tanks recovering from a bad time. I lost a lot of SPS to receding skin. My colony of red planet is 90% dead. Now that I’ve corrected the issue, the receding has stopped leaving 10% alive. I had something similar to this happen before and the red planet quickly recovered and grew of the dead...

I'm 99% sure the fish is dead. But just in case it's somehow stunned I'm posting this here. Yesterday I got a 5-inch Bella goby from a local fish store. I decided not to quarantine and just did a short acclimation to the tank. Yesterday it swam around the tank and selected a cavern to set up...

I got 2 BTA 3 days ago for my 3 month old 30 gallon tank. I am well aware it’s a new tank. Is this normal or should I be concerned? I have an established 60 gallon tank I could move them to just not sure if I should or not. Please give me some advice!

Hi, I have been having troubles with my frogspawn. I was hoping to grow a big colony but the heads on some frags seem to be receeding. The tentacles barely extend and stay very short. However my hammer coral is doing very well and extends well too. This is in my low tech nano tank. I am good...

Hello!! I would like share some pictures about my corals that are dying and my parameters in order to get feedback about it and if you have recommendations to save it. I stat to see this condition since 2 weeks ago. things that i changed 1.-increase the light because i was only used blue light...

I’ve had 9 colonies and frags of zoanthids die and completely disappear over the past month or so. They completely disappear within an hour of them closing up. I am now losing my torch and another colony of paly. Tested everything with my water- all checks out. If anyone has any ideas please let...

Picked him up from a friend that no longer in the hobby a week ago. hes been doing great but the past few days hes been shriveling up randomly and my father in law just sent me the pic below. Is this normal or can i do something to help him. The only thing i did different was give it a single...

Hey, I'm hoping some one on here can help me determine what is going on with my Zoas. I have had these frags for about three months and have been doing fine until this past week. I have been using Fluval's salt mix, and have been dosing magnesium occasionally. Also last week I found a 1ish inch...

This snail has been upside down stretching itself out for the past 24 hours. Even if I right it back up, it'll get back to this position. Every other snail in my tank is fine, including 3 other nassarius snails. I have been feeding general cure binded with focus, but I doubt that's the reason...
