idenfitifaction

Anyone can ID this for me? Today one of my hammers died. Last night it wasnt happy and looked extremely stressed. Sucked to see it that way cause it was fine just hours before in the morning. So i dipped it in iodine and put it back thinking its a bacterial infection. At midnight i came down and...

Is this anemone a black widow

All I can find is the same one picture showing a male female specimen.i suspect my brighter colored one is female and the more drab one is male based on head shape. But they both have the red mark on the top fun characteristic of males I think.

I have no clew what this is

Is this black ich on my naked clownfish? I don’t have anemone in the tank only LPS corals photos and high quality video.

Sorry this post is all over the place. I found this thing on my glass last night and decided to take some pictures today. Any guesses would be great. When I lightly poke it contorts then whatever is inside goes back to a full circle...what could this be? And is this a hydroid? It looks like a...

Hi Guys, I have two frags which I need to identify as I would like to know more about them. The pink one has small white polyps that are not out in this picture. The neon green one I have had for almost 4 years and it has hardly grown at all, this picture does not show the polyps but they are...

Hello everybody. Who can help me with this torch? I dont know what type of torch is

I got into the reefing hobby last year and I bought this torch coal at reefapalooza 2019 in Anaheim. The seller had it for $200 but gave me a deal when I went back at the end of the show on Sunday. I have no idea what this coral was even called all I know is that it's a type of indo torch and...

I have been battling dinoflagellates for awhile now and feel like im starting to beat them but want to make sure. This is a sample from my tank on april 24th. I know these are dinos but when I took a sample today I didn't see these but seen what I thought looked like little copepods. I'm not...

Hello everyone! This is my first post here on Reef2Reef, not exactly what I would’ve preferred to post but here it is. I saw this sucker hitchhiking on one of my lawnmower blennies one day so I decided to try a 2 minute freshwater dip to see if that would take care of the issue. Not being...

I purchased a pack of four different zoanthids at one of my lfs and I’m not sure what specific types they are. Any information would be highly appreciated.

My lfs said it was a chalice, but i think it's a montipora? Any feedback appreciated! Thanks reefers!

Anyone know what kind of zoa these are. I bought a plug with two different zoas from LFS. He said he thought the one on bottom was fire and ice, and didn’t know what the other was. Can anyone help with ID? Thanks

Hi guys, struggling with dinos over the last couple of months, I’ve invested in a microscope but still unsure of species. For me, they look And behave like Amphidinum, but they seem to migrate into the water column at night. Also, my inverts have been dying recently which tells me it’s most...

Hey guys just wondering if this is Orange Coraline Algae? Or if it could be a Sponge of some sort?? Thanks!

Can anyone tell me why these things are? There’s about 30 of them all throughout my tank, and they’re all about the same size. My friend says they’re aiptasia, but I like variety of opinions.

No tang police please, this is just the qt tank. Will be going into a much larger one soon. Can't tell if this is a Razor Surgeon or a Yellowtail. As its a juvenile, will his color change as he ages? Don't believe there will be any issues with my Kole tang but want to verify.

Hey everyone I’ve had my tank cycling for 2 months now and I’ve been pretty on top of cleaning my rock scape of algae and watching my Params. Today after work I noticed a ton of rusty colored algae plus some bubbles trapped into them is this diatoms or Dino’s and what should I do to solve this...

I went to an aquarium store and saw they had a bucket with live rock, a few had some corals in very poor shape like this ?mushroom? It was very pale in color when I first got it. Hence why I don't know what mushroom/softie it is and it wasn't sold as a coral.. just as 'live rock'. It was a...

Hey fellow reefers. I have a zoa colony and another single polyp that have white spots and I am not sure if they are just the way these are, or if it is a bad case of zoa pox. The polyps act happy, and are growing rapidly. I got these super cheap, so am ok with dumping them if they are going...

Found this worm-like critter on my new zoa frag. Made it through dipping and was keeping the zoa from opening fully. At night it would extend. Looked like it has tiny barbs on the tail with a bunch of eyes or eggs near the base. The second pic is through a microscope at 4x magnification after...

I need some help identifying the coral that is pictured. I was given this piece by a neighbor who decided to move and could not remember the name or type of coral that this was. I've tried searching, but I'm new to this hobby and am having a hard time finding something similar. Thanks for any help!
