I plumbed in a 2nd tank and am moving some livestock to the new tank. They share a sump and water so are the same system. I have a surgeon tank is fat and healthy that was the largest in the tank and rather aggressive so I moved it first. It is currently the only fish in the tank but is swimming...

My tank crashed This was the series of events that caused this: Reef flux added 24hours later crazy ammonia spike - why this happened I’m not sure - like off key maxed out my testing kit and I wondered how everything was still alive. Fish okay. Some of my corals look ticked. Urchin was...

Noticed some of my acro frags have head really bad polpy extension lately and decided to dip some of them in coral Rx. I was trying to zoom in on this really small black dots, can anyone verify it is a black bug or do i need better zoom? Hard for me to tell if its just debris or something worse...

Just bought two clownfish two days ago already lost the one and now my other is laying in the sand on his side and appears to be breathing heavily. I know my water is fine I’ve tested twice in the last day but it is a new tank but I did add bacteria to the tank to ensure that I could add fish...

I had a pair of clowns in an old tank, which I broke down. I moved them both into my qt tank for 48 hours while I set up the new one. All throughout the time in qt, the mocha has been fine, but the black ice immediately sat on the bottom with very rapid breathing. I moved them both to the DT...

Had this clam for 2 months. Wasn’t always the happiest but it’s been okay. Moved it high on the rock as was recommended by R2R. This is my first clam so I wasn’t sure what to expect. this past week he’s took a turn for the worse. What can I do to save him? He’s been closed this week but now he...

This is an urgent emergency there are tiny saltwater ghost shrimp and I cant go back to let them free for a while, I need to know how to keep them alive and raise them. I have not found anything on the web about what to feed new saltwater ghost shrimp, it is all about freshwater ghost shrimp. I...

My anemone was sucked into filter vents, i I caught it just in time, half of it was inbetween the vents, I turned off the filter and carfully took it out. The foot does not seem damaged nor ripped. I put it in a small container, should i leave it in the container ? or put it back in the tank ...

My tang was found breath heavy after feeding of mysis. At night he hides and has a respiration rate over 150 a second. He also has a cleaner shrimp following him everywhere and cleaning him. Getting worse but during the day he acts like this and is still eating like crazy. Please help I am a...

I recently started working at an LFS with a 350 gallon reef display. I was scraping algae prior to a water change and hit my finger on the rock, drawing blood. Since then my finger has been slowly increasing and decreasing in pain which is kind of just dull and achey, but then when it gets wet...

I just had to remove a ton of rock to get out a very aggressive fish. But now my clowns are acting really weird. Doesn't seem to be any parasite issue but they aren't eating which I assume is from the stress as they ate happily the day before I removed the aggressive fish. It's been a 16 hours...

So I have confirmed I have LCA Dino’s. On top of bryopsis and hair algae that I’ve been dealing with for a while now. I do weekly water changes but it’s just not getting any better. Obviously something is off but my parameters are not showing it. salinity ammonia 0 Nitrates 7 Nitrites 0...

My blue tang was (appeared to be anyway) fine two days ago. I hadn't seen him come out of hiding since then, so I moved the rock around and found him like this? It's looking like it might be too late for him, but any guesses as to what is going on?

So I noticed white patches or bumps on my tangs today. I had observed them in a QT tank for a few weeks before moving to my DT and had only treated with General Cure because I had noticed something dark on one fin of my white tail bristletooth the size of a grain of rice. They have been in my...

I have a 65 Gallon tank 12 months old. 20 gallon sump. I had some 3% hydrogen peroxide lining the bottom of a 5 gallon bucket 2 days ago to kill some algae. Forgot to wash it out, filled the bucket with RODI then 24 hrs later added salt and stirred for another 24 hrs. I added the water 10...

I’ve had a branching hammer coral for around 9 months and it’s been doing really well. Earlier today it was fully extended and happy. This evening I’ve looked and it is very shrunken and looks like a brown ballon coming from its mouth. Never seen it do this before. what could this be?

Hi everyone. Have a few hammers that have suddenly retracted and don’t look healthy and I’m concerned about BJD. Should I pull and dip in some lugols? I also have some Coral rx. Looking for options.

I have a Duncan that was not doing too well, but it was still opened. It was opened this morning but I just caught it closed up with some slime on it. Is this brown jelly?
