sick

Hey guys, five days ago I bought a Sapphire damsel for my tank and today a noticed a white mark on him. I haven’t been able to notice because he’s usually facing the other way and hides in the rock work. He might’ve got the mark from my male clown since he would try to attack the damsel for the...

Hi im looking for some help with my cleaner shrimp. Added to the tank about 2 months ago. All was good until last week when I noticed it acting a little lethargic. Then I noticed some white spots and a small black spot on its side. It wasnt moving for about a day and then something startled it...

Zoa burned skirt, how to solve this problem? Hello reef comunity I have a problem with a certain frag of zoas. They do open up during the day but they have really small or not existing skirt. During the night they have something that looks like cyano. I thought it was a burn from an amonia...

Hi guys, After my first flame angel fixed I thought I’d dry another from the same seller (mistake I guess) and this was was fine for 2 weeks until I woke up this morning and it was super lethargic and it’s fins look damaged. I checked the other fish and they have no damage. He looked fine...

I am new to the saltwater aquarium community and just got my first damsel fish. The only problem is it has some weird marks on it. I don’t think it resembles ich or velvet, but am concerned on what it could be and if it is harmful. He also is hiding and not eating food, but it’s only been one...

Hello, All. I have a midas blenny that came to me as a juvenile and has been in my tank for about 6 months. I have had no new fish added to my tank for about 4 months. I have added corals from other hobiests but have dipped each one before adding them. A few days ago I noticed the blenny...

I have had my tank for around 2 years now, and my fish are fine, however just today, the smaller of my clowns was swimming in the corner with the most flow, and occasionally laying on the sandbed. I turned the flow off, and he got up, slowly swam around, then got bullied by the other clownfish...

I purchased a dog face puffer today.. he is brown and spotted and i’ve posted on facebook about him and people have said he looks good and he looks horrible. I’m aware he has a hazy eye which I plan to treat. LFS is feeding krill, only known issue of him is his beak needs filed some since it’s a...

Hi all, first post here - 48h ago I picked up a one eyed Porc Puffer from a local LFS. He’s tiny, 1/2 inches, and has got some sections of his slime coat shedding. There’s no white spots, no visible parasites, no fuzz or anything at all that I can see other than him seemingly generating mucus...

I’ve had my clown fish for over a month now they are a breeding pair according to the previous owner the female is significantly larger than the male and they’ve been eating just fine they are the biggest fish in the tank and are left alone the water parameters are almost at zero and today I...

I started this hobby in 2020 and purchased a good deal of my livestock from LiveAquaria. I never received sick or infested items. Jump to 2024 and everything from fish to coral has arrived with disease or bad hitchhikers. My last two attempts at purchasing fish were ick riddled and died during...

Not sure about the discoloration around his gill plate. He’s been hanging out in the top corner of my tank all evening like he’s trying to get out of the water.

Royal looks like it may have ich or something but I can’t figure out what it is. Might be on my clowns as well. Can someone help me please

I just received this Dussumieri Tang from liveaquaria.com divers-den. And it has this circle on it any thoughts I added the fish into qt and it is eating. Any thoughts?

My clown fish has been acting weird. Constantly laying on their side, but will swim when I walk up to the tank. Their color looks great, I don’t see any signs of an illness. I’ve had this clown for 7-8 years now. However. There does appear to be a slight purplish mark on their one side, but...

Hey! Tried to find a post on this but couldn’t find anything — more LPS questions from me. These wellso/Trachy are right next to several that are super happy. Per earlier post about meat corals I have not been feeding these corals adequately, so I am starting to do that now. What would you...

Hey guys! I’ve had this starfish for a couple months and at first she (or he) was under was under the sand a lot and come out every now and then. Recently she stays on top of the sand and I noticed this white spot on top. It’s not sand because it doesn’t come off. Also not sure what’s...

Hello, I have a clown that has been thriving in my tank for a week now. All the sudden it is breathing heavy, swimming on the sand bed, and not eating. The water parameters are 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 20ppm nitrate, salt at 1.026, tempature of 78, with a PH of 8.0. The only thing difference...

Sometime last week, one of our 2 seahorses refused to latch and had some fairly poor behaviors where she started refused to eat. The situation reached a peak where we were dipping her in methylene blue for 30-45 minutes at a time with a bubbler + tube feeding him seachem mixed paste from mysis...

Does anyone know what this is up under his belly and how to cure it? He won't eat, either.

Looking for some advice on what could be wrong with my Longfin Clownfish. We are on morning of day 3 of him fast breathing and no real appetite but still moving around. I don’t see anything physically wrong with him. Time in tank - 2.5 weeks Recent changes: 6 Chromis and 1 Royal Gramma added at...

Does my firefish look like it’s sick or is this normal behavior? He usually hides in the live rock but he’s been coming out more often but will lie down on the sand and I really can’t tell if this is normal or not.

Hello everyone my fish have all been in QT with copper power 2.35-2.50 ppm and nitrofurazone for the last 31 days. Since I had an ich on my purple tang so took everyone out. Currently in the process of setting up a new 125 gallon for everyone. I’m pretty sure copper never dropped below...

This little guy has had some lighter patches of funk on his skin for a few days which you can still see, but today I am noticing this much more pronounced white spot. I'm guessing this is Ich based on what I have seen online but I am fairly new so I'm not sure. Any diagnostic input from more...

Can anyone help? I recently set up and bought fish for my saltwater fish tank. I originally received all the equipment from a friend and set it up about 2 weeks ago. I waited about 1 week and then bought the fish. I used Natures ocean Nutir Seawater. I bought caribsea live sand and a bag of...
