idenfitifaction

Hi, I added this zoa from wwc a month ago and it has these weird dandelion like things on them. They survived a dipping and I'm not sure what to do. The zoas with them on them don't open so I should clearly do something. Identifying it first seems like a logical first step, anyone have any ideas?

I've had my tank setup for almost 8 months now. Live rock came from Tampa Bay Saltwater back in September 2020. These guys have been around for a while and at first we were happy to have some anemones, but the more research I do I start to think they are Aiptasia... but really large ones! I...

Can someone help me identify this please? I think I did a bad thing. My LFS is in the process of transitioning management so they’re a bit disorganized at the moment. The guy didn’t know what this was. I assumed since it was soft and branching it looked like some type of leather which are...

I found these little brown things growing on my rocks. But now I’m also noticing white parts on them, some of which are a bit longer than others. What the heck are these?

Hi I recently bought this hippo tang.I’ve had it now for about a week now and since I’ve had it it has got some sort of disease I think and also hides at the back of the tank howveer I can’t diagnose it because I can’t find anything similar,I’ve attached some photos.If anyone has any ideas it...

Anyone have an idea what this is growing from under one of my zoas?

No one has been able to tell me what this little guy is. mom feeling like it’s a blueberry pie zoa but no green lashes. And the coloring isn’t that of a blue rhino. help :(

We bought this coral under the miscellaneous label. Can anyone help identify it for us?

Hey guys so I bought a random pack from a local reef store which I now realize wasn’t a good idea for me cause this is my first reef tank, I would like help identifying the corals an maybe placement tips it would be much appreciated!!!

Hi guys, Saw this star while browsing my LFSs, can’t seems to find out what it is. Seems to be brownish in light, black in a dimmer light. Both pictures are of the same specimen Any ideas? Thanks guys!

Anyone have a clue what zoas these are? They look cool so i bought some but theres no name. It said just zoa. Not sure of price will give a clue. They were 2.50 for 8-10 polyps. Thanks

So I got a group of these and I assumed they are all just regular bubble tips but they eventually lost them and now I get this. thanks in advance

I bought some coral frags a few weeks ago. Started with just the two big ones then I watched the babies blossom. Then today I noticed the one that doesn’t look like the others. What kind of coral is it? I also got a surprise baby mushroom on it. I am very surprised that the shell raised so many...

I’d?

I found this red limp in the back of my BioCube 32. It was solid when I pulled it out with a turkey blaster, and loosened up when I put it in a cup. It doesn’t feel like cyano, and it was only in one spot. Testing parameters, will update when complete.

Can someone identify this for me?

I’ve been trying to battle this ‘brown algae’ for quite a long time now. I’ve finally gotten a microscope to observe all the cells in my aquarium. Does the picture below look like Dino cells. The cells do move around and they go away at night and come back in the day. This makes me think it is...

Species unknown. Pretty though.

Hi everyone, I just bought this guy a few days ago, it was sold to me as a frogspawn, but I’m thinking it’s a hammer, I’m new to lps so I’m not super sure which it is. I also have a new Duncan and I’m not super sure if it’s happy, it’s not super vibrant. Thanks in advance! Also, if anyone knows...

Was sold as an ocean surgeon fish but seems to match an orange shoulder with a spot above dorsal fin and blue along anal fins

To start, my small 10 gallons Nano have been running for at least 1year, used to be a quarantine tank that evolved to just another tank! This tank have been running with live rock, and HOB filter for the first 6 months! Nothing fancy as mention before, was just a quarantine tank running filter...

So the attached image is a frag that a buddy of mine who runs an LFS gave me. In the store they were listed as "Yellow Brick Polyps" They seem like Zoa's with a few noticeable differences, mainly being how tall/long they extend, and the length of the lashes. I'm just wondering if anyone has...

I would really love if someone could help me figure out what kind of fish this is
