identification

Hey Reef2Reef! A friend of mine gave me this frag and it’s getting a bit big now but we still aren’t sure what coral it is. Could anyone ID it for me please? Some people have mentioned it’s a Fanta Orange Chalice but not sure. Your help will be appreciated!

Hi everyone , just got a frag from Petco today that they didn't know what it is. I'm thinking a rhodactis and maybe sunset but I'm not sure, have not found any image online matches it yet. Any ideas ?

Can anyone id this clown for me? I would appreciate the help

Noticed this on my zoanthid puck. It's a new addition.

Hi, I've been having trouble managing this algae ever since I added a new piece of live rock to the tank. It started growing on the rock and I've been trying to manage it by manual removal, but it just keeps growing back. It has spread into parts of the sand and has started to creep up onto the...

I'm not sure what this SPS is called. I dropped it when I was cutting the plug stem off and it broke into half a dozen pieces. Since then it has started encrusting and growing pretty quickly. Pinkish skin and light blue polyps. I'm sure it's nothing exotic but I have no idea what to call it.

Just noticed this baby anemone in my nem tank. It was mostly closed with tips of tentacles poking out when I first noticed it. Then of course I messed with it, it completely closed up and it must know I’m trying to get a pic, cuz it hasn’t opened up at all in an hour. It’s currently about the...

I live in Northern Canada and the nearest Saltwater store is about 7 hours away, so everything we have gets shipped. We cross our fingers and pray things survive shipping. That being said mostly everything usually does survive. Almost all shipments take 3 days to get here with FedEx priority...

Hi all, I suffered a prorocentrum bout a few months back and it has come and gone in a few patches since, but now I noticed this red stringy stuff that eerily looks like an increase in Dino. I put it under a microscope but I couldn’t really identify anything. I attached a video! #reefsquad

I noticed this on the rear of my tank last week while doing a water change. At first I thought it was a snail. This week, still there and no movement. Is this just something stuck my tank or something growing?

Can you tell which type of clownfish these are?

Could anyone ID this for me please? I’m guessing it’s a soft coral but maybe not?

Hi there, I purchased this LPS coral over a year ago as a Scoly but I’ve never seen one like it since and it’s very different with its feeding response compared to my War Paint Scoly (which definitely is a Scoly). Any suggestions welcome!

Hello there. If anyone can help identify what this is on my glass. It's not air bubbles. They seem to be swaying and sticking to the back of my tank. Also note that we have added trigger pods about a month ago in the back of our AIO tank. Tried getting a better picture in clearer lighting but...

Hello I got this encrusting coral a few weeks ago and it seems to be growing really well. However I’m not totally sure what it is. I asked the associate at my LFS if it was a monti and they said no. But they couldn’t think of what it was at the moment. I got it on around Feb 7 and it has grown...

I just got a platinum clown yesterday to pair with one of my clowns, I was looking to buy a platinum even though i love White Wyomings because i thought percula would pair up better with another percula as my attempt at pairing a percula and a ocellaris went a bit meh. The male did the shake...

Hello everyone If anyone would be kind to help us in our new tank. We have had it for 2 months now and just last week this showed up. We can't get our hand on what it is exactly. We have caribsea Life Rock and life sand Ammonia - 0 Nitrite - 0 Nitrate - 20ppm Lights are on for 6 hours We do...

I’m servicing a clients tank and they have these small aphasia looking things everywhere with an unusual (pretty?) coloration. They seem resistant to aptasia x. Historical pearlscale butterflies will eat them I’m told. Anyone know what these are?

Had a bunch of these growing all over my rock when I got the tank second hand. Pruned all but one away a year ago. Now wondering if it’s actually sinularia like I assumed. Is it Japanese pink mepthea? I love the color and growth pattern. The id would decide if I frag it or not. (Note this is my...

Hi All, I am relatively new to Saltwater and would love some assistance with my current situation. I was a little excited with the cycle and did have lights on including white for some time ( I have learned since then). Can someone please assist in identifying the algae growth and let me know...

Hello, My turbo snail flipped itself over this morning, and when I was helping it back upright I noticed it seems to have a very small critter with a shell attached to it: It has a curved shell that looks a bit like a cockle but seems to only have one side, and a little black 'neck' that is...

I’m kicking myself for not asking while I was at the store but.. does anybody know what kind of fish this is? It has bright purple lips, fins, and rings around its eyes. I’ve tried googling the description (in various terms) and haven’t found anything. I can always call the store in the morning...

I received this frag as a Christmas gift and I have no idea what it is. I'm hoping someone can help identify it. Sorry for the image quality. If it's too tough too see I can take a picture under the day lights.

I really want get these sea sponge species. Need a manufacturer. Also need to know about the toxicity and how compatable it would be in a saltwater aquarium.

Hi all, In relation to ticked off corals from time to time, coupled with being able to sleep late and wake up late (vacation for the holidays), I’ve been looking at my tank more at night, i.e. during total darkness. I noticed quite a large population of these, and they seem to be congregating...
