Hey all I think I just found a tiny aipstasia on a new frag, and I’m not sure what to do. I’ve only just cycled my tank and have my first clowns and corals added, but I saw this and now I’m worried. If it is aipstasia, what should I do?? I don’t want it to spread, but would feel horrible...

I’ve reviewed and searched for an answer but haven’t successfully located what I’m looking for. I purchased a number of frags and a cabbage rock from my local shop. I noticed, what I thought, was bubble algae on a frag, but when I went to manually remove it, I found the spheres to be very firm...

Looking for an ID on these, I’m pretty sure they are vermatid snails. New tank, 16 days in with mostly dry rock but I got a whole bunch of rock from a a tank shutdown which had been out of the tank for a week. It’s that rock which is infested. I have three seperate rock towers and I’m thinking...

Hey All!!! I have what I think is a sponge growing in the tank. Most in shaded areas but I did have a lot growing on, under, and around one of my big leather flower corals. Unfortunately I didn’t get a pic of the thing on the coral but did take a few pics of the stuff on rocks. Help identifying...

Hi guys, Relatively new to reef keeping but I have came back from Christmas break to find a couple of snails in the tank that either weren’t there before Christmas or were too small for me to notice. They appear to be white shelled with tiny red stripes, and not more than a few millimetres...

Hey everyone, I found this guy in my aquarium, I took it out just in case it’s bad. Would anyone happen to know if this is a good guy or bad guy for future reference incase I see more.

Any idea what I’m working with here? It’s on the glass and there’s nothing similar on/near my montis. Looks almost like a berghia to me, but I’ve never had them. I’ll try and get a better photo of the top.

Can anyone ID this crab for me? I found it in my tank this morning. It’s about an inch long. I’m not sure if it’s just the shell, as it’s quite soft and not moving. Thanks

I noticed these small snails all over my sump, filter socks, etc. I haven’t seen any in the display as of yet. I do have 2 turbo snails in my sump so I’m not sure if it’s possible they laid some eggs that hatched ? I doubt it as they seem to be really flat. I attached some pictures of one of the...

Hi. I've noticed a few of these pests (I assume) on my live rock. Does anybody know what they are and if I should remove them? Thank you!

I'm having an issue with my colony of Zoanthids they start to demise :( I had no idea what could possibly cause that some of the polyps won't open. Suddenly I've found tiny slug-like creatures pinkish in blue light. Does anyone have an idea what it can be? And how to fight it???

Can someone help me ID this? Little orange looking thing poking out the bottom Was using my flash light looking at the tank and seen this thing sticking out the side? I stuck my hand in there and it like retracted, Ended up pulling the coral out, took a knife and like scraped the bottom to...

I left my house for 2 days and came back to my tank with these guys in here. Anyone know what these are? The video isn’t very clear but they look like baby shrimps. If this helps, I turned off the lights during those two days to try and get rid of some of my algae and see how they would respond...

Have seen maybe ten of the bigger ones in the pictures over the last few days but it seems like there is dozens more almost microscopic ones just in the small amount of water I took out with the big ones. Hydroids possibly? They are swimming around if that makes any difference.

I've got an asterina problem that are munching on my zoas. If you are in Palm Beach county and you have a single Harlequin shrimp I can "rent" out for a few months, that'd be great. I'd buy it upfront and return it back to you in a few months for a small refund, or find a new buyer if you do...

Is this zoa being eaten by something? All the other zoas are doing well, both on the frag and in the tank. Its just this one polyp. Its been in the tank for around 2-3 months. they are loosing colour in the side where the "lashes" are retracted/gone. its been like this for 3/4 days and i think...

Here is A Very Inefficient Method of Treating Aiptaisa I discovered a few weeks ago on accident… for anyone who is curious: 1. Submerge infested rock within sand 2. Wait for Aiptasia to detach from submerged rock and crawl towards the surface of the sandbed 3. Scoop up the Aiptasia As this...

I have noticed this snail pop up in my tank about a week ago, It looks quite pretty but I don’t know what it is, could someone ID it? The inverts I currently have in the tank are: Randall’s pistol shrimp, cleaner shrimp, 1 trochus snail, 1 nassarius snail, 1 strawberry conch -it’s grown quite fast

I woke up this morning and found 14 of these strange little guys creeping up my glass in my saltwater tank. Can anyone help ID these? I have searched high and low and can not find anything similar. https://studio.youtube.com/video/5a9Hveudz3s/edit

I spotted these strange tentacle looking things on my zoa rock. Is this aiptasia? I moved the rock to a quarantine tank for the time-being. There were a few other rocks very close to this one. Should I take them out as well and try to salvage any Zoas I can?

Can anyone ID this?

So I’m new at this salt water thing and this is my first hammer. I noticed this “pineapple” shaped growth forming on the skeleton of my gold hammer. Anyone have any idea what this is or what it could be? Any input welcome. Thanks for helping a novice out (in advance)!

Started noticing these little hair lookin guys in spots on my rock, wondering what they could be? Hydroids maybe?

I was wondering if there is any nano fish that can live with clownfish and will eat both of these pests? Thanks for any help in advance!
