    microalgae bloom help with ID . potential dinoflagellates? with microscopy images

    Ive been having a small outbreak of a Dinoflagellates like algae. Its brown and looks slimy, and as it gets bigger/ longer it producers a bubble at the tip. It grows very fast and I end up siphoning the visible chunks every few days so it doesn't grow over the corals. It seems to irritate most...

    WHAT IS THIS? White cloud at base of Zoas...

    I've been noticing this for a while, but today it seems to be almost overtaking the heads. My first thought was to try to blow it away (that is why the colony looks that way.) It doesn't budge. I'm assuming I need to improve my flow in that general area but first... I need to figure out what...

    Mystery Hydroid

    I observed this critter in one of my store tanks for about two months. I have unfortunately moved and never managed to get better photography so I'm afraid this will have to do.

    Feather duster? Aiptasia? Something else on my ricordia?

    Trying to figure out what is living in my Ricordia. I’m hoping the answer is harmless feather duster but want to make sure it’s not Aiptasia or some other horror lurking and waiting to ruin tank life. Thanks for your help!! Including pics and a video in case seeing movement is somehow helpful.

    Hello guys, I’m new to reefing. Can you help me ID these things; that long tentacles; those white spots on the glass (I think it’s hydroids); these white hair on the live rocks; that thing on the edge of the rock (I think it’s a pineapple sponge). And can you tell me if they are bad or...

    Crab ID

    Appreciate the image isn’t the best but this is a reclusive little crab! He has been hiding out in some live rock and I’d like to know what he is before I decide if he goes in the main tank, the sump or go the LFS! I’m sure his little eyes looked red too if that makes any difference!
