I got a feather duster from my LFS yesterday. It is not quite 24 hours old. While drip acclimating and throughout the ride home the crown was out. The worm it’s self is not out of the tube and he has looked like this all the time (see picture). I tried spot feeding him this morning and he didn’t...

So my clownfish was drip acclimated and bought from my LFS. He was doing good and all in the bag and during the drip. I had the light off when he was dripping and released into the tank. He was swimming “normal” with the light off. As soon as the light went on he retreated to the corner in the...

Help! I just was creeped out of my mind when I went in to check on my new mates and saw all this creepy crawlers. Please tell me these are not fire worms and just bristle.. and should I get this under control?

My Marineland 60g heartland was bought new 4 years ago. I don't remember how the seams were when I bought the tank. I was about to start the process of converting this tank into saltwater when I noticed the seams. I first thought it was nerite snail eggs but upon closer inspection, I see bubbles...

So came downstairs this morning and saw this on my wrasse who I have had for over a year. I got him out of the tank but he died almost instantly after i got him in a qt tank. Could someone tell me if this looks like an injury or a disease and if so, what is it and how do i treat my other fish?

Does anyone know what type of anemone this is ? I got it at a Lfs, they claimed it was a Haitian, but it was no colored tips. It could actually be but not 110% sure.

I have a 90g frag tank with a Porcupine Pufferfish, Lionfish, Zebra Moray, Orange Toadfish, Dusky Jawfish, Marine flounder and an sub adult engineer goby ((the puffer and lionfish are getting moved to a bigger tank in the next year)) I first noticed my puffer fish acting weird like laying on the...

I've have these clownfish for roughly little over a month. Past week one of them started to generate a laying down habit. I know clownfish are weird at times. However I want to make sure there is no underlying issues. He eats just fine and moves around just fine. They were QT for 6 weeks...

How does one go about lowering your alkalinity and calcium? I followed directions from brs calculator on adding a 2 part to my tank. DkH was 13.5 and calcium was 423. It said to add 13.7 ounces. I thought that was a lot and only added 4 ounces. This morning DkH is 13.3 and calcium is 523 Tank...

I have a new leather coral frag (sinularia) and it was starting do droop over enough that it was pulling off the plug. I straightened it up and put something behind it to hold it upright. When I straightened it up a milky cloud came out for about 20 seconds. Not a slime, more like a liquid. It...

His guys, I just picked up a mated pair of Coral Banded shrimp from my LFS, and they were fine when being acclimated in a bucket. After being drip acclimated for a few hours, I released them into my DT tank (80gallon), and they each swam off to a different corner of the tank. When the met in the...

Hello. Fish RARELY die in my tank. I have a 90 gallon red sea mixed reef. No dangerous or aggressive fish. Its been up and running for over a year and is flourishing. I purchased two small firefish last week and added them to my system with proper hour long drip acclimation. I even managed to...

Hopefully someone here can help out! I woke up yesterday to find my LARGE Derasa clam had managed to somehow detach its hinge. When I touch it, it still reacts and try’s to move, but you can feel that the 2 half’s of the shell move independently of each other and are not connected at the hinge...
