This has to be ich. These little parasites are sitting on my live rock. Have no fish in my tank other than my porcupine puffer a snowflake eel and some inverts. Puffer is immune to the ich so is the eel.

Hello, I am looking for assistance in identifying this disease that had unfortunately taken one of my clownfish. The clownfish was perfectly fine for over a week after I had picked it up from my LFS. Today I look at my tank and notice that it was sitting at the bottom of the tank looking...

Hello please help me identify this on my GSP coral. It doesn’t seem to bother my GSP too much as it still fully opens up during the day. But it’s white and semi transparent. Looks to be firm and doesn’t move with the current. Web like appearance.

Hi new here I just changed my filter media and this guy fell out not sure what it is or what to do for it????

I recently noticed on my hg torch a bunch of tube like things growing out of the base. Further investigation I saw damage at the base. The damage could be from cleaning but I’m unsure. The tubes have feeding strands and look like they’ve bored into the base. Any idea on what this and how to treat?

Afternoon This is my first time posting so any help would be appreciated. I recently received a seahorse from a family friend that passed away and needed a new home. I have been taking care of saltwater aquariums for over three years now with great success, however the seahorse is the first...

Hi guys, I'm new to reef2reef so if I'm missing something I apologize. I work in a small private display aquarium and the owner of the aquarium out of blue without consulting the aquarists bought 2x blue spotted rays (Neotrygon kuhlii) and threw them into the display on our day off. Two weeks...

Hello everyone! I did a bit of research on fin diseases and parasites before I dipped my Midus Blenny, in FW for 5 minutes to try and fix whatever is on his fin. It definitely looks like some parasite to me, but he appears completely healthy, after just getting him two days ago from my LFS. I...

Good morning Reefers, I've had this little pink hammer since mid April. It, like all my hammers is a pretty happy hammer and I did dip him in CoralRX before I placed him in the tank. He always had a little dark spot but since April that dark spot has grown and its clearly some little pest. Its...

Got a tiger conch yesterday and noticed these 3 small shelled snails with black mouths probing out. Any idea what they are and if they are harmful?

TLDR-is this ich? How screwed am I? Logistical nightmares ahead So the dreaded day has come.. I’m pretty sure this is Ich (tried to get a natural light photo during daylight. Pardon the blues in the video, that was taken this evening during low blue moonlight) Some context, so I have a heavily...

I have powder brown tang that developed what it appears is under surface bumps throughout his body. See pics. Eating: He was never an aggressive eater, he kind of waits and gets the smaller pieces that fall down. He never goes straight for the Nori, but rather gets pieces out of the water...

Can someone identify this worm that has come in on a finger coral please. Is it a problem and how would I deal with it if so.

Hi! I was doing a water change today and noticed a “thing” on my clownfish. Appears to be white/light in color, is on the bottom near its right side gill, and appears to be maybe 1/8 long. My first thought was a fluke or some kind of worm. Did a FW dip and it remains on the fish. Attempted a...

Came across a study on using shrimp to eat parasites in the fish farming industry. Excerpt on findings The effectiveness of shrimp in reducing parasites on farmed fish remained unexplored until now. We tested four cleaner shrimp species for their ability to reduce three harmful parasites (a...

My frogspawn is shriveled up because I just moved it as I put in some different rock, but I just noticed these white dots on it that look odd. Any ideas if this is something bad? It’s usually in full extension when I don’t tick it off my moving it. Thanks

Hi, I have had this Trachy for about 4 years and in the past month it started loosing flesh and I dipped it for parasites. It had about 8 Flatwoods on the bottom of it and had a couple holes. Today it started loosing more flesh so I decided to try and cut the bad area off of it and see if an...

I bought some Live Rock from Tampa Bay Saltwater and I noticed an isopod dead at the bottom of the shipping box so I decided to set a trap and see if I had the cirolanid isopods that seem pretty common with Florida aquacultured rock. I caught about 10 the first night and have caught 5-8 from...

This angelfish was going through QT. I let him eat for 4 days. I notice it pecking but didn't eat that much. Afterwards I ramped up copper over 4 days to therapeutic without any erratic behavior, it was always hiding in the PVC. Later I found it in a arched position with heavy breathing. I did a...

Help me ID this parasite! I have a nice mushroom collection I don’t am want to lose. It looks like a flatworm to me. ID? Treatment?

Hi I bought a clownfish 2 to 3 days ago and noticed a very weird line across its fins. It was a faint line on day two but now it’s a weird line across both sides. I know for sure it’s not ich, velvet, brooklynella, uronema. I’ve never seen something like this on a fish. Could it be something...
