Just noticed this growth on my hammer coral a couple of days ago it also retracts slightly when I shine light on it. Anyone experience something similar?

Hey guys just like the title says. My Acan has new fleshy heads all over but the other side on the skeleton this white thingy popped up, it looks like it retracts and is fleshy too, is this a sponge? The other heads are growing great, some of which are smaller than that white thing. What is...

This is mine after 7 months of growth under radion g5 pros running AB+ for 9 hours a day with roughly an hour ramp up and down. As you can see, its mostly red/brown with a green/yellow base. Is this coloration normal? and here it is 7 months ago when I first got it.

Hey reefers, Sometime after owning a reef tank for a year or so I realised that I'm hungry for more but I don't just want to expand my existing aquarium into a bigger one. I am looking for different progression paths this hobby has. I managed to compile the list of all these paths. What do you...

Newbie here. I purchased my Duncan coral a little over a month ago and I’ve been in love with it. The last couple of weeks I’ve noticed that it’ll bulge on the skeleton just underneath the head. I’m wondering if this looks like growth to anybody who’s had experience with them. One time it...

Hello everyone, I’m new to owning Pectinia. Interested in the way this one is growing, which is why I bought it. Curious if anyone experienced with fragging these guys or growing them, knows if this one may morph together into one organism or if it could/should be fragged into 2? Thanks in advance!

Can we get a controlled experiment where we determine if playing music near our aquarium increases or decreases coral growth and overall tank happiness? My tank is next to my shop speakers and I'd like to know what my corals taste in music is so I can evict the ones that listen to mumble rap...

Need help ID this growth and how to get rid of it. It’s very slow growing. A dark brownish green color. Won’t scrape off. I used vibrant for green bubble algae and it didn’t slow this growth. 2 photos are from 2 different sides with blues on and aquarium cam auto settings. Last is with just...

I bought this clownfish 5 days ago, initially noticing a small, flat, red dot on his lower jaw and thinking it was a birth mark. Each day it has become more imflammed/enlarged, he has been eating consistantly and behaving normally untill today where he is quite reserved and timid. Additionally...

Hello, I just purchased a hydrophora coral the other day, its a pretty sweet looking coral. I was wondering if anyone has any insight on what parameters it grows best in. The local store I got it from was hoping I could grow it out and supply them with some frags . Any information on this coral...

Hi all, I was hoping someone could help me identify this zoanthid. I think it is an Eagle Eye but not entirely sure. Had it for about 1.5 weeks with no change in growth (no new polyp or change in size). Each head is about 5mm in diameter. Coral is approximately 13 inches from the light. How...

So - everyone here with an SPS related tank is concerned about growth. Without googling:). What is the maximum growth to expect from SPS within a year?

So I have an all coral tank as of right now and out of the blue I noticed a strange growth behind my frogspawn. I don’t know weather this is dangerous or if it is some sort of coral. It is colored purple/blue with orange dots

Hello all! I have a camera mounted to the side of my tank which takes a few images per day, and every now and again I create a timelapse and post it up to YouTube. The last one was 7 months, this one is 15. Check it out! It's really cool to watch corals grow in sped up time. Whiskey

Curious people are always buying frags - and every now and then (every other day lol:) there is a comment about 'the high prices'. So - I'm curious - what percentage of your frags actually 'grow into colonies - lets say 5 inches or more. How important do you think stable alkalinity is in...

Hello all! I haven't had too much trouble keep coral alive. However, I also haven't experienced much growth and was wondering if anyone had any good advice to grow out LPS coral. For some 20g long tank, all parameters are good: Calcium: 400ppm Alk: 9-10dKH Nitrates...

So we have a few acans, most started with 2 or 3 heads and a lot of them have grown many new heads and others have the same amount of heads as when we got them. All of them open and are feed at the same times and frequency. All of them look happy, so what give?

Anybody has any suggestions on best software/way to catalog my corals. I am fairly new and have amassed a lot of sps frags which are growing well. Goal is two-fold: 1) Name, source etc of the coral. 2) Growth pics of the corals (say every few months). Wanted to see what everyone thought.
