identification

I found these two little fellas at my local pet store and they were so pretty and fluffy and pink I brought them home and put them in my reef tank. They are growing like crazy and I have no idea what they are. I’m including pictures from front and side and hopefully you guys can help me out...

Anybody know what these are? They’re about the size of a nickel. Neon stalk/foot and neon mouth. White spots on the tips of the tentacles.

Don’t know what this mushroom is , need help IDing it . It’s more red but the skirt has green

This pic sucks I know. But if anyone can even get me close I’d appreciate it. Another 5$ frag I picked up. It’s the super orange small head in the middle. It’s not fire and ice it’s center is almost completely a radioactive orange with a dark blue skirt.

I got this frag for 5$ this weekend. I’m amazed at the colors but I have no idea what it is. Can someone please help. Tagging @footgal for obvious reasons.

Bought this at a market in Bangkok. Assumed it was Fungia but its attached to the frag plug with about a cm tall trunk. This surprised me as I had thought Fungia are free-roaming. It is about 4cm wide. Could it be a juvenile stage Fungia? Also, please ignore the bubble algae. Am working out a...

Hi about 3 days ago these zoas stopped opening up all the way and looked odd maybe deformed. The tank is fairly new maybe a little over 4 months now, so these zoas we're still growing on the plug. I noticed that there was a couple white sponges growing on the back and the side of the plug as...

Can someone please tell me this is a Zoa and not a pest. It just popped up from the live rock I got. The rock was in water at a coral shop.

I bought about 25lbs from gulf live rock and 4 of these anemones came on one of the pieces, can anyone help me I.d. Them? I cycled the rock for a week and all 4 survived.

Hello, I need help identifying something on my Potter's Angel please! I purchased my Potter's Angel on 01/16. He is in a 30 gallon QT, Aqueon HOB Filter, Whisper air pump, some plastic pots for cover and a small piece of live rock because many say that they will only graze. Weekly 15-20% water...

I’m 2 weeks into cycling a tank and I just put in a tiny piece of LR in today 5 hours or so ago and I did see a couple of those more shrimp looking pods that crawl around on the rocks and in the sand. I crushed up a couple pellets and dropped it in to continue feeding the cycle and now I have...

Anyone can tell me if this is a torch or a cristata? The tentacles are really short. Looks like less than an inch.

I was sold this as a ‘gold and green’ torch from a local store. The colours were a lot less vibrant since settling in my aquarium. It is definitely more of a yellow than gold... or close to a 24k Aussie? But has a green/turquoise base to it. I have Indo and Aussie HG in the tank but to me feels...

Anyone know the ID? Someone said reverse gorilla nipples but it doesn’t match exactly. Mine has more green yellow inside(sorry i cant see certain colours so im not sure). Looking for another guess or opinion. Thanks

So I noticed a new slug/snail in my tank that I most certainly have never seen. I haven't bought any new coral or rock in the past few months so I was surprised to see this. It almost looked like it could be a baby forming it's shell but I've never seen a baby snail so I have no clue. Any help...

Hello, This fish is around 3/4", I want to know what kind is it. Is Mocha storm, Juvenile Black storm or something else? I thought it is a mocha storm till I read that juvenile black storm are mocha colored and they darken as they get older. Thanks,

Good afternoon all, I am on the downhill side of a ********’ fight with bryopsis (fluco ftw), and noticed some tubes on some frags now that they are not covered in algae. I am reading a lot of conflicting info, so hoping someone could give me a definite ID, so I can treat accordingly if needed...

I got this from a janky coral selection at my lfs for $10 thinking it was a cool cyohastrea with some potential. Now that it's recovered a bit, I'm noticing the polyps are stacked pretty neatly with some decent PE, I no longer think I got a cyphastrea, but a goni on death's door? It's been in my...

After searching for copepods that resemble the ones in my tank, I am not coming up with any results or similar matches. Does anyone recognize the order/family/genus/species of copepods in the following pictures (encircled in orange)? I am pretty sure they are some type of copepod, but not sure...

Found this amazing little dude earlier, ive got a stomatella and this isnt him for sure. He isnt a lettuce as far as i know. Who may he be? Hes a very pleasant guest to have, hes caused no trouble and is quite the looker. Friendly and clean, i rate him a 10/10. Where can i get another? Bunch of...

Hi, I wonder, If any one can help me identify a Tang , is this a Scopus Tang ? Thanks Brad

Some of you may have seen my post about a month ago on wanting to grow bubble algae as my moms Christmas present. Well I did it, and this is the build thread for that tank...

I have no idea what this is on my shrimp, it almost looks like dirt. At first I just thought maybe it was something he ate but it’s been 3 days since I first noticed it and after looking closely i could tell it’s on the outside of the shrimp not the inside.

Hey Reef Gang, I am new to the salt water game coming from freshwater. I am starting with a Red Sea Max Nano. 20lb Carib sea life rock, 10 pounds Fiji pink, 660gph wave maker, running skimmer 24/7 with filter sock, bunch of marine pure bio balls, red sea carbon, Red Sea coral salt pro, tank...
