pest id

I pulled a piece of rock out to kill vermetid snails with a dental pic. I thought, "let's flip it over and see if there's anything underneath by chance". I see the thin end of this worm-looking thing sticking out. When I touched it with the pick it retracted into its hole. I pulled the sand and...

Okay so I have this container in my tank that used to have my Chaeto algae ball but thats been gone for a while and nothing new has been added in months and now the cup has these fuzzy white almost squid looking things attaching to the plastic of the cup? You can see the vine-like leg things...

Hi all, I'm wondering if you all can help me figure out what pest is on my neon green cabbage leather? They are white and are about 4mm long and 1 to 1.5mm thick. They only seem to be in my cabbage leather and nothing else in the tank as far as I can tell. I did a RODI rinse and it seemed like...

So recently I have noticed the fleshy part on my euphelia receding and I had chalked it up to it recently splitting. But then tonight I turned on the lights after they normally go off and noticed all these small white dots that move all over it I can't see much other than a moving white oval if...

What are these? Friend or foe? On the undersides/edges of Zoa frags.

Hi everyone! Greetings from Indonesia! It's my very first post here.. I need a help on identifying these annoying creatures: They kinda look like a tiny shelled snail.. Around 2 weeks ago I noticed my zoas and palys aren't opening up and also some went missing. Few days ago I randomly...

Hello I’ve been wanting a dwarf seahorse tank for about a year now but I’ve been having trouble with pests, specifically these small jellyfish and anemones, even taking down my last tank and starting over again because of them though I’ve already delt with the anemones, the jellyfish occupation...

Hi everyone, I bought this Acan about 2 weeks ago. It doesn’t look so great and it hasn’t been improving. It appears to be receding and just seems generally unhappy. Last night, before lights out, I noticed this weird thing on the edge of it and I watched it for a few minutes. I didn’t see it...

These keep coming up on my rock. I am not sure what they are and if they are harmful to my coral? Any help would be appreciated.

What is this on my frog spawn ? Should I remove it? Or dip it?

So, a friend of mine found some free live rock, with clownfish and corals from someone that was shutting down a small tank and asked me to put the fish in my QT since it was empty while he finished setting up his QT and DT. Long story short, the previous owner had a bristle worm infestation...

A couple days ago I didn’t see any of these. Now, they are everywhere. What are they? Thanks for the help! Picture attached.

Does anyone know what this fleshy-looking spiral thing is, at the base of the duncan? Sorry for the blues/poor quality. I can try to get a better picture tomorrow, if it helps. I had thought it was a new head growing - it's been there since I bought the frag two and a half months ago. It's...

I have a lot of white specs appear on my glass. They are pure white and move very slowly if at all. I managed to get a sample under the microscope. I have a few trochus snails in the tank which have been releasing eggs lately after a water change. Can anyone help ID them from the pics attached...

Hi everyone, this is my first post, I hope that's ok, and hope I'm doing this correctly. After neglecting my tank for a while due to pregnancy and having a newborn, I am slowly trying to get it back on track. I noticed this sponge-like growth in a dimmer part of my tank, kind of under and...

I put my acans on a new rock together and now I found these white tubes on the skeleton. Any help in ID would be much appreciated.

These snails are everywhere in my tank in all kinds of sizes and appear to only be active at night. Are they coral pests or beneficial hitch hikers?

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...

Hi first time reefer I’ve had my tank set up for 6 months now and I’m wondering what this is. Should I just leave it alone or remove it I’m thinking spaghetti worm but not sure

Found this on my hammer is it good or bad? Thanks

Looks like tiny tubes that each have two tendril things. I think they could be Vermitid snails but none of the pictures online looked quite like them. Another guess is Hydroids but that seems very unlikely. They have only popped up in this certain area next to my Mushroom.

Hi Notice this a week ago but thought it was coral slime at first…… Double check it to day as I though it was weird been in same place again….. As soon as you shine a light on it it retracts into the rock work….. either think some type of brittle star or worm …. Video is crap as just off iPhone...

Can someone please identify those small moving black dots on my Scolymia button coral? If my calculation is right, the dots are very small, ranging between 0.04 and 0.06 mm. Which should be 10 times smaller than the Black Bugs, if I'm right. For scale reference, the head has 1 inch diameter...
