I found this small orange snail in my tank this morning. He would have originated from some live rock that was acquired through gulf reef live rock. Thanks as always for your help!

Hi Guys, I swear this is something new. Okay, maybe it's just aiptasia. I want you to see if there's something I'm missing though. I added a colony of Pink Hippos (zoas) to my tank about 2 months ago. Before adding, I dipped in Coral Rx (standard procedure). I had second thoughts about this...

hey guys I’ve been having a few issues with my tank these last few weeks I’ve noticed i have some weird pink blob on my rocks here and there mostly every rock has atleast one now i noticed it on my hammer head corals stems i have some pictures of i poked out with my tweezers but they basically...

Hey guys so i noticed one of my hermits has something growing on his side inside his shell it usually hides but i got it to come this took some pictures i was thinking it’s some type of feather duster maybe? If so i kind want to keep it how to extract it lol or will it come out on its own

What is this? I found it stuck to the tank glass a few minutes ago...

Yesterday I added a new feather duster to my tank. This evening I spotted this on the rock near where the feather duster casing sits. Is this the feather duster? I'm a bit worried that my sexy shrimp are interested in it. I've had mixed results with these guys - some I've had for a year (still...

Anybody able to id this bivalve?

Need ID please He was in the coral base that I was dipping into Coral RX, promptly died after but was wondering what type of snail it was. Sorry for the picture quality it was hard to get a good picture. It had a red shell with spots. Reminded me of a lady bug

Long white stringy creature living in chaeto. It retracts when I touch the water or it senses vibrations on aquaclear filter. Maybe some kind of worm??

Hello everyone, I am having trouble with getting a positive identification on what appears to be an Isopod of some sort. This is the second time they have appeared in the water column since I have upgraded aquarium sizes and added live sand. They resemble Cirolanid Isopods, but they are very...

Hello guys Got a new creature on my live rock that seems to be a filter feeder... not sure where it came from or if it's bad... any help is appreciated! Thanks

So my tank has been cycling for about a month or so now. Live rock, and live sand. All my tests are looking good. I think I'm about finished. I have my heater out because I'm still stirring sand dust out (I was silly and didn't rinse) but my water stays around 74 even without. Tonight I was...

Is this a (the?) culprit for my unhappy zoas? Pics not great, but 2 large antenna and visible eye spots. Could also be a slug -- the purple portion is almost firm like a mantle. As always, burn it, sump it or good guy?

I found this in my filter sock tonight. Its about 3/8-1/2" in length and very active. It curls its back tail up under itself and seems to have front arms/legs held tightly to its body like a pistol shrimp or mantis shrimp. Kind of swims on its side... or maybe that's because I don't have...

Any ideas what this thing is? Its been moving slowly for the past few weeks, started out along the base of the coral and I missed it - its currently on a mushroom finger leather coral... Survived a coral dip... Is it harmful? what do I do with it?

Does anybody know what type of coral this is? It came on a rock that was given to me by a friend (some zoos are on the rock as and a couple palys recently started growing on there as well). The rock was thoroughly dipped so I doubt it is a pest of any sort. Apologies if the photos are bad :-( I...

Update: Upon further research, I was able to educate myself a little. It appears the snails are harmless and the limpets?; are as well. The flatworms though; not so sure. Hello all! Found a few new critters I haven’t noticed before. Seen a few of these little snails climbing around. They’re...

I just found this section and thought my latest video would be perfect here...;Walkingdead

It looks like a nassarius without a shell. However, since I have never actually seen a shelless nassarius, I have no idea. Please tell me if the little guy is a friend or foe. His life is in your hands. Thanks, Jim

I found a weird branch coming off an astrea snail today. A picture is worth a thousand words so here's a few.

After feeding my tank last night, I noticed some motion and took a closer look. It was a long transparent tentacle coming from the live rock. The head was wriggling around pretty good. I took video with my phone, I apologize for poor quality. Make sure to view in 1080p: I've gotten pretty...

Can somebody tell me whatthese are growing on my rock and if they are safe? The first one looks like a milky cobweb that easily comes off when touched. Rhe sexond one looks like a dandelion or an antena with a ball at the end. And is this yellow stuff algae?

Can someone tell me what these are? I know the one is a starfish but what kind?
