Hey, so I have had a Coral Beauty for about 3 weeks now. She normally scavenges thought the day and eate pellets with the other fish. She also occasionally gets seaweed for a snack that she might take one or two nibbles out of. But over these past few days she's been acting strange, swimming...

So I got a pair of gold head gobies, not intending to breed them so soon. However, this morning I woke up and one of them was dead and there were eggs laid in a hermit crab shell. I’ve been trying to find information on them but I’m honestly not sure that anyone has had gold head sleeper gobies...

Hi Everyone! My name is Lehton and I am a new member of reef2reef and new to Aquariums. This is my tank (10 gallons) and I currently have 2 clownfish living in it. It’s been a rough transition into this hobby and I think I jumped into it too fast, but things are going good. I have a Duncan...

Can anyone educate me on what this is? When the ricordea opens up and lays out you don’t see the unknown part. But closed up you see it. I have been google searching my fingers off trying to figure out what it is. Unless I’m a idiot and it’s just the bottom of the ricordea. Any help would be...

I noticed this on my coral and on my beneficial Bactria. It’s weird it comes out and it seems to (look around) and hide then come out again. I have no idea if this is a good or bad thing. On the last picture it’s on the acan with the little white tentacles sticking out.

So my tank is fairly new and I have been struggling with ammonia spikes, already killed my smallest fish. Im now worried that these coral are completely dead and they too are increasing the ammonia levels. Can anyone verify? The one i think looks the worst is the Dragon Soul Favia and the other...

So I bought my first pair of clownfish about 5 days ago and they paired very easily and immediately. 2 days later I noticed the smaller one was always by the flow outtake and would only swim vertically. I did a water change that day to make sure envy thing was good and while there was less water...

Hello, i recently purchased 3 zoa frags and noticed that 2 of them had bubble algae. i decided to pluck off the bubble algae outside of the tank (without popping it) but then after reading about bubble algae i learned that if it was already there it will come back if i didn’t completely...

I have this condy that my dad bought and he sent me a picture and at first I thought it was bleached but I did not know. Also he bought this for the purpose of hosting a clownfish. Should we buy another one or what should we do.

Hello everyone! I am very new to the reef community and just started my first tank a 29g BioCube this past September. The tank has been awesome and I am absolutely loving having one but have run into a lighting issue NOONE seems to know how to fix. The BioCube I have is equipped with a...

Yes I know I should’ve done more research before getting both powder tangs, anyway the powder brown tang is constantly attacking the powder blue tang like a psychopath and we are struggling to get either of them out. Any tips on getting them to stop or tricks to get the powder brown out?

My anemone has slowly been declining over the period of a few months. This isn’t my first nem, the other news I’ve had I have always shot food onto their tentacles and it’s never been a problem. They’ve always been healthy, but this one has slowly been starving and I can’t figure out why. It’s...

Hello everyone I have noticed some spots on my trigger and sweetlips that looks like potential ick. I was hoping you could help me identify it.
