Ok so I just added 5 RFAs to my tank today I come back after about 2 hours and I see this guy on the side of my tank have no clue where to even start looking it has what to be at least 100 tiny white tentacle like appendages all over it

Hope you guys can see the video , I have one of those all black stomatellas (they look almost jet black but with some minor variations on shells) & I also have the much more common white stomatella with black specks all over it (sort of like cookies & cream) Today I caught them breeding (puff...

I’ve had two small mushrooms disappear, my LFS tested my water and parameters were in check but as I was doing a water change the other day I pulled an old/dead piece of my hammer head that had broken off of a large colony out of the tank to do alittle closer inspection. The picture is very...

I got this toadstool leather coral for really cheap from my LFS store 2 days ago and I’ve only had anemones and when I got it home I totally did not even think about dipping it since Ive only ever had anemones lol. I don’t remember seeing this when I put it in but it’s there and I’m assuming...

I have had this blue sympodium frag in the tank for about a month and a half. This morning I noticed this clear/whitish thing growing on it. Can someone help identify it?

So this is my first small saltwater tank-32g and having had experience with larger tanks I’m really surprised what this 32g requires, especially when you have a Mr constructive destructive pistol shrimp. However, if it weren’t for him dumping my mushrooms in the sand I would have never seen this...

Forgive the blues, this crab popped out during feeding time and I couldn’t switch over to my whites. Any ideas?

So I noticed yesterday that my galaxia coral had what looked like bubble algae on it so I took out of tank and got it off and then noticed this creature that looks like a Rolly Polly gliding under the plug . It has a hard grey shell that has some dark markings on the front and back of shell. It...

Hi all, I added uncured live rock to my tank a few weeks ago (unwise) I'm overdue for a water change & now see all these worms on the glass. When I zoom in on them they do have bristles...What do y'all think these are? Thank you PS The only live stock in the tank is a turbo snail & 2 of...

Hi everyone, this webbing-like creature appeared today in my sump at ~9pm. It was not their yesterday as well as today in the morning. It did not move as I inspected but I'll check it again tomorrow. Is it bad? Thank you.

I found these on my new frag, I will be dipping in coral rx but should I take extra care to remove these?

Hi. I’ve had my tank almost set up for 6 months now. I was looking at my corals and noticed this weird translucent thing underneath my hammer coral. I can’t see it during the day as my hammer is expanded, but at night when it’s closed up, this weird thing is there. it’s about an inch long and...

I picked up KP aquatics live rock from the airport about 10 days ago, and I've been having a blast finding new critters every night (all the action happens after dark, of course). I'd love to have ID help with some of the finds - I'll start with a couple of squishy creatures (nudibranchs or...

I have these white things on my live rock, does anyone know what it is? It keeps growing

Hi, I just picked up this frogspawn but it has this crab hiding on it. It is covered in algae has eight legs and is a light brownish colour. Is it harmful to fish or coral? If so should I just put it in my Fuge any help is appreciated.

Found these two little ones surviving in a filter sock. I don’t want to influence the identity by telling you what is in the tank.. Thanks for looking and your help!

I have a snail shell with a bunch of mushroom corals on it being used as a frag which I got for a freebie at my lfs as I wanted the coral BADLY!! But, the shell after being coral dipped already still has this type of bristleworm Inside it still... Could I get help identifying it and if it's a...

So this is my first SW tank ( had fresh water before ) it’s been about 3 weeks since I set it up and almost 1 week with clowns and I’ve seen afew different “hitch hikers a snail, something that looked like a really clear small shrimp that my clown noticed and ate, a small worm?, and now there...
