    Feather duster parasite in Duncan coral?

    I have recently noticed a feather duster like animal living inside the “stalk” of my new Duncan coral. There looks to be a small white hole in the coral where the “feather duster”pokes out. Is this critter harmless and if so how would I go about removing it from the coral? Any input is...

    Unknown Hitchhiker

    These guys are all over my tank. I have looked everywhere and asked many people, and no one seems to know what these are. They seem more active at night and when trying to touch the tentacle it retracts. I know it is definitely not a bristle worm or vermitid. And I do not think these things...

    SNAIL ID

    Purple shell, similar to a sundial. Concerned it will go after my coral but in the months I have had it, no such happening. It was a baby when it came into the tank. Thank you

    What are these, starting to pop up

    Can’t figure out what these guys are, they are starting to pop up in some frags that use to be clean. Don’t want to dip them again unless I have to, as I just changed the light spectrum that kind of made my tank mad at me these last couple of days (wanted less blue)

    Please gelp me identify between fireworm vs bristle worm

    I was cleaning my coral with hydrogen peroxide solution and 2 worms dropped from the holes. I don't know if it is a bristle worm which became fat due to hydrogen peroxide or it is my nightmare: a fireworm. If these are fireworms are there any easy hacks to get rid of them.

    Identification, please!

    My clove polyp wasn’t happy so I chose to move it. Before doing so though, I dipped it and this fell of the coral in the dip. And idea what it might be?

    Possible Aiptasia?

    Found this guy on a small chunk of liverock I just added to my nano tank last night. Is this an aiptasia? I've already removed the rock it is on from the tank just in case, but if it isn't aiptasia I'd like to add it back since that stuff is expensive. I don't usually use live rock so I'm...

    Unknown snail

    At least three of these guys managed to hitchhike into my new nano tank on live rock. I will try to get better pictures tomorrow when the lights are back on, but they look like oyster drills to me. As far as I know, oyster drills are on the Atlantic side of FL and the rock came from the gulf...

    Zero clue what this Zoa hitchhiker is

    It started at the base and has grown up the polyp and is now spreading outwards. I posted it last week but the picture was not the best so I am trying again with some better pictures. The frag was dipped before it went into the tank. If anyone knows what it is and what I should do please let me...

    Please help ID this hitchhiker

    These little white-gray friends are spreading rapidly through the rocks. They dont look like they move (aka dont look like barnacles) and are a bit see-through. Some of the corals that are in contact with these are a bit angry. Anyone know what it is and how to get rid of it?

    Hi everyone I am new here and tried to find a picture of this hitchhiker that came in on one of the corals I currently got but could not find anything. It looks like a baby tuxedo urchin?
