growth

Do my snails leave this kind of slimey looking stuff behind? It's hard to spot at first but just below center of image where rock dips in. I've seen a couple singular long skinny white threads coming from the rocks too, is that from my snails or is it a a bacteria or algae or beginning of...

Please help. Does anyone know what this could be on my little clown? It started off as a red bump under his mouth, but has turned white and he now seems to be bothered by it and keeps his mouth open all the time. Tank is relatively new (2 months) and this guy seems to be having issues. He is...

I’ve had this candy cane Coral since March I think. It’s always been two heads. But for a while now one has always been bigger than the other and the other one won’t open up because there is no space. Also not sure how candy canes grow but I’ve had two heads since March which kinda sucks. Not...

Hey fam, This growth showed up on Mai. She’s a 3 year old Picasso percula clown. It’s raised a few millimeters off her body, and dark black with a possible tinge of red, under the skin and above the muscle. I noticed it yesterday. No new fish or coral have been introduced since April (Today...

I have this grey green branching growth all over my rocks, glass and inside the filter. It blows of into a cloud of white debris with a squirt of water. This is relatively new and the tank is 9 months old. In the picture, it’s growing on my temp sensor. Fish and corals seem happy. Because of...

I noticed this on the rear of my tank last week while doing a water change. At first I thought it was a snail. This week, still there and no movement. Is this just something stuck my tank or something growing?

Would anyone have a decent idea on varieties of coral that can grow upside down, or glued to the underside of an aquascape? My first thought was NPS (Non Photosynthetic) Corals, because they don't need light and I could just spot feed. But I'm a big fan of easy corals so I don't know if NPS is...

Hi, So this hammer coral has been glued down for a few months now and the flesh has started to "encrust" around the rock below it (you can see the rock behind the flesh). I know it is progressing downwards as I have taken pictures a week apart comparing the growth. I can't seem to find any...

Does anybody have any idea what that white stuff is growing on my frogspawn? Should I be worried? I’ve had it for about a month and a half and it seems to be doing great and it’s growing too. The stuff looks and feels like thread..

Hey Everyone, I'm getting an Envergrow soon and I'm looking for a good program for a full sps tank My aquarium is 150cm X 40cmX 60cm (50cm of watter) Thank you in advance

So BRS proved that high PH is important for SPS and stony coral health. But does the PH affect LPS and soft coral? Does it make the Lps coral or soft coral grow and propagate faster Can anyone chime in

So I am planning on getting a favite but will it encrust over my live rock or will it create its own mound and dome? Thank You

Hey Guys, I have a green wall hammer that’s been in my tank for about 5 months, and has been doing great. last night after lights went out and it closed up I noticed a white growth on one side and have no idea what it could be. the coral opens, is really puffy and happy looking so I don’t...

Hi there, we have had Mochi, our wartskin frogfish, for almost a year now and we feed him approx. 2 saltwater shrimp every other day and he has stayed there same size (about an inch) for maybe 6-8 months. It just doesn’t seem like he is growing and I’m not sure why. I don’t want to over...

I just got my results back. I took my sample the same week that I started a chaeto reactor so know my nitrates and phosphates will come down, but am concerned that my nitrates are 135x my phosphates instead of about 10x like I see being ideal. I’m thinking of starting to dose NoPox but am unsure...

Good evening everyone, my beautiful bird wrasse was hit on the nose buy to dog face puffer. His injury healed and after a while there was some sort of growth on his nose (where he was bit). The growth is out of control now. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

Does anyone know what this is growing on the torch body? It's hard to the touch so don't think it is a sponge. TIA

So I’m new at this salt water thing and this is my first hammer. I noticed this “pineapple” shaped growth forming on the skeleton of my gold hammer. Anyone have any idea what this is or what it could be? Any input welcome. Thanks for helping a novice out (in advance)!

Does anyone know what this yellow is? There’s also a wired mussel looking thing lol

Help! I’m getting mixed information about what this brown, hairy stuff is and how to get rid of it. I’ve also been told the bubbles are bubble algae but they’re not emerald or even green and I need to get rid of them. Can you help me figure out how to get my tank back into tip top shape?! I’ve...

Hello, I noticed one of my corals looking a little sad today. I took a closer look at it and found some white growth on the skeleton. Some have a tube like structure, but it doesn’t look calcified or hard. I took a couple pictures of it. Any ideas of what it is/ how to save this guy. It...

Good morning There's this weird goop growing in my tank near the heater and in a few other places, does anyone know what this is?

I purchased this blasto during World Wide Coral's anniversary sale two weeks ago. After one week I noticed a red egg / growth appear on the base of the coral. The egg / growth in question is round, large enough to stick out from the base of the coral slightly, and has a small white thing...

So I have a green star polyp and I can’t tell if this is normal? Or if it got damaged it looks super healthy and I have had it for almost a year if anyone has input that would be awesome. It seems like the circled area is longer and or like puffy looking.
