identification

Hey everyone, I have an acro in my aquarium that I'm curious about. My LFS just called it a "green fuzzy acro" and gave me a pretty good deal, in terms of SPS coral, for it since it had broken off a colony. Here is a picture of it: The reason I'm curious about it is because the coralites are...

hi everyone, Just got a colony of aqua blasto merlettis and as im qt-ing it, i noticed these round things at the bottom of the blasto skeleton stalk. Are these eggs of something bad or nothing? Thx for the input.

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...

Hey guys! Noobie here! Just signed up today. A single, small red bulb that comes to a tip has popped up in my tank (on my sandbed), and I'm not familiar with it. I was going to take a picture, but when I went back to the tank to snap a picture, it has since moved or disappeared! I'm not sure...

I am unsure of its species but I got it from a huge corals' hole... Need help to see if coral safe. It's eating brine shrimp I put in tank

What is the difference between those? Looking to get a variety of frogfishes.

Quickly becoming one of my favorites. I was concerned with how it would do since it was maricultured but it has settled right in with nice polyp extension day and night. Any ideas on what it is? I'll get better pics here soon with my dslr but this is what i have for now Thanks folks!!

I saw this weird white thing attached to my rock. Any ideas of what it is? There are also some weird trails in the sand next to it. Also, my nassarius snails are all crawling around near it, I don't know if that helps.

Hey folks, We purchased a new piece of live rock today, and it had a mushroom coral on it, got it into the tank but am not sure on ID... any help? I want to be sure I'm placing it in a good spot so it doesn't die. Thanks!

Its pinkish purple w a yellow center or mouth and silver skirts. Got it as a freebie and it is doing well under higher lighting. Thx for the input.

This guy came inside an empty snail shell. I think its a mini brittle, but want confirmation before putting him in.

What is this thing? My best guess was a Stomatella snail..

I have about 6 adult cerith snails in the tank. I've seen a couple of these tiny white snails that are shaped like ceriths. However, they also look like they could be pyramid snails. What do you think?

So I bought this coral a few years ago. I bought it as a lobo for $5! When I bought it, it was about the size of a quarter. For the first year it always had it feeding tentacles completely open so I still thought it was a lobo that was always hungry. After it started growing it didn't really...

Hey guys I have had this Nephthea for a little over a year. It has always had this black crusty looking stuff on the stalk, kinda looks like charcoal. I never worried about it, the coral was doing great with big open polyps So i thought is was normal, maybe algae or something. About a month ago...

I've got an annoying nuisance in my reef and I want to sort it out. I'm hoping you kind folks can help point me in the right direction to ID this. Description: Blows off coral/rock/sand easily but returns quickly Stringy brownish color Doesn't appear to create it's own bubbles within but will...

Hey all, Just joined and am looking for some help. I am trying to identify this protein skimmer. I was going through a bunch of stuff salt water supplies I had and came across it. Once identified, would it be too much for a 15 nano? I'm trying to avoid getting another one if this would work...

Hi everyone, Just bought these and i cant find anything similar to them. Aqua sd calls them blue wowsers, but i was hoping someone knew the more common name. Thx for the input.

Hi Everyone, Need help w figuring out the problem w these zoas. I floated frag in bag to equalize temp, then dipped a few frags in coral rx. Rinse w tank water then placed new frags in qt tank. My other frags are doing great, but this one in the picture has mucous surrounding a few polyps...

Hey guys Anyone knows what that thing could be? Is it a coral? It's growing on my rock, good looking but I'd like to know what it is. Its color is a pale pink, peach, white ... hard to tell. here's a pic

Hi everyone, Just bought this off an auction and i was hoping to get the id name usually used rather the funky, crazy names to make things confusing lol. Here is the pic, would appreciate ur inputs on the id and the usual care w lighting and placement. Thx
