My tang is now in a bucket with medicine in it. Now it is lying on it’s side. It got ick on it’s body and I don’t have another tank at my house to put it in. I got some medicine that is trash. What can I do!
ORA Mandarin, 1/2 inch or so. Bought a pair about 2 months ago, treated both in copper for 14 days at 2.0ppm, with hanna checker.
One has a strong appetite, looking healthy and fat. Feeding daily hatched artemia, frozen cyclopods, and PE Calanus. The other (now sick) one is quite thin. I see it...

Hey everybody, I just got a smaller baby cycloseris I believe. It has about 4 what appear to be red planaria, definitely some type of flatworm, just a sold dark red oval shape. I don’t have any coral dip and the 2 lfs near me are closed at this point. I know flatworms are intolerant to...
He always was swimming around like crazy all day he would always take his evening laps around the tank everyday without fail, and now he doesn't even move when I feed the tank. he just has been laying down on the sand bed not even on the glass or rocks like he usually does he is just sitting on...
Hey guys so I was doing testing last night and while getting my ca,mag and alk back up to my normal levels I think I overdosed and now it’s at 13. (Regularly at 9) my other torch and hammer don’t look affected by this at all. Anyone know what the problem could be?
I have a very healthy pico 5g tank with a lot of coral and 2 clowns that have been thriving over the last 7 months. 2.5 months ago I setup a new 15g IM. After a couple weeks of cycling with bottled bacteria & a live blood red fire shrimp I added 3 anthias from my LFS (there was no detectable...
I just had a white cheek tang get delivered from Pete’saquarium.com and I’m starting the drip acclimation. He’s swimming erratically with his head and eyes out of the water. I understand shipping is hard on them but I’ve never seen this behavior from any tang before. Will he be okay after...

He was quarantined with the female at the lfs for a month. Once I added them to my dt, he struggled against the flow and is getting blown around. He is still eating though.
Hey guys I found my blonde naso at the bottom between two shells this morning. It was swimming fine yesterday even picked at some food and then today its breathing is not normal. The scratches on its body I assumed were from the rocks. Now it’s lying on the floor. Please help, what’s wrong...
Hello,
I recently bought a torch from an online vendor and it came with a very short base that cracked when trying to attach it into the tank. I just looked at the torch and saw this brownish slime near it. Can someone please ID and let me know what to do? I have other corals that are doing...
I have or well...had...a tidal 55 but it decided to retire at 9:30 tonight. I have two wave makers in my 40 gal breeder and it's two clowns and a small C.U.C ...will that suffice until I can get to the store tomorrow morning? I know in a fresh water tank I could put in an airstone but if the...
Hello,
I am wanting to hear from some experienced reefers and get some advice on how I should approach this situation.
I have noticed in the last 2-3 weeks small changes to my zoanthids, chalice, and overall look of my tank. Specifically, zoas seem to have a few heads close or barely open...
I’m having some really weird stn issues going in in my tank. It’s a 10 gallon and has been going good for a couple weeks i’ve been having some really bad tissue loss on some sps and some lps that i have no idea what it is or what to do to treat.

I need advice! I got this dottyback a few weeks ago, and I saw some white patches on its side yesterday! Above its anal fin looks weird too. I just put it in a spare 5 gallon, and am planning on using kanaplex with 90 percent weekly water changes. Is this enough? Any idea what the cause is? This...
Had this fox face in my 75g tank been fine up until about an hour go this has happened any advice or is he going to die he's laying on the floor panting
Can someone help me determine if this is ich vs brook?
Long story short, I found what I thought was a good deal on a kole tang and added it to my reef. All seemed well at first but now I've noticed a few spots on its fins which spread to all over its body. It seems to have infected my orchid...
I really need help, I noticed small things that were sticking out of the hammer so I decided to dip it. That’s when I saw the skeleton was starting to look different then last week. Please I really need help, it looks great but this is really worrying me. But at the same time it’s growing a new...
I have not seen either of my turbo snails roaming around in a while. Well today I found a dead turbo with some sort of bristleworm in the shell. The other turbo is now missing and so is one of my two trochus snails. Below is a photo of the worm which I beleive might be a fireworm? Is there any...
A few days ago I got this Green Tip Branching Hammer and it is currently in a Coral/Invert QT with 6 other coral and some snails/crabs. After dipping it he opened up nicely (see photo). Yesterday afternoon (a couple of days later) I noticed a portion of his head was retracting. Upon closer...
Happy easter everyone! For a couple days i’ve noticed 2 little brown spots on the tips of one of my chalices. This chalice was somewhat abused, didn’t know why he was doing so badly and then i saw my pistol shrimp come out and shoot him twice right in front of me. He’s not doing so hot, losing...
My clownfish in QT hasn’t eaten in over a week and is getting weak. I’m desperate to get something in his belly. My WholeFoods has whitefish roe processed only with salt that I can get tomorrow. Any thoughts on this as a food to get him eating again...
Does my seahorse have gas bubble disease? I noticed he is having trouble hitching into things and he is struggling to stay submerged. What should I do?
I've recently been doing a lot more research into power outages as I stock my tanks with expensive torches. With severe weather events and fires only increasing where I live, I think it's prudent to prepare for when the lights go out for extended periods or if I need to evacuate for a number of...
