sick

Hi All, I have had a Royal Gramma in my tank for about six months now. The fish is usually somewhat shy, only coming out of the hiding spots for an hour or two every day when the lights are off, and usually during feedings. Yesterday, I found the fish on the sandbed and acting very lethargic...

I woke up today and my bristle tooth tang has mostly just been hanging out on the bottom. This is really unusual and I’m worried he might be sick. What do y’all think?

Hey guys, tied googling this on my own, no luck, so here's my problem. I have a 40 gallon breeder with a devils hand in it. Lately I noticed a small black/dark spot at the base of one of its newest fingers. The spot was in such a position that I figured it was a trick of the aquarium lighting...

Has anyone ever seen fish pull through after the worst stage of brooklynella? I had a juvenile pair of clowns who showed no symptoms then day 1 after work were covered in spots (thought it was velvet). I went to bed thinking they’d be okay for me to treat the next day but woke up in the morning...

Help please! Noticed around 3-4 days ago that my Neon blue striped mushroom was shrivelling up which it has never done in the months that i have owned it. Checked all parameters and everything is great so i thought it was just having a moment. Woke up this morning to just about everything in the...

So I just saw my YWG 2-3!days ago his belly looked full due to eating pods and his color was bright yellow then he hid for a few days and I see him today and he looks imacitated and pale, I checked all parameters and they are fine, what could be wrong?

Hello all, A few days ago I got a hawaiian yellow tang, however he(or she) was held up in shipping for an extra day and the urchin I ordered with him was DOA. He's about 4 inches (10cm) and after a few hours of settling down immediately started eating like a pig and has been ever since. However...

Hello everyone I’ll go through this in as much detail as I can. I have a softie reef tank with 11 fish in a 125 gallon. I’ve noticed my white tail tangs color slowly fade over the past week and a half. Instead of swimming normally he prefers to hide in the rock unmoving and comes out mainly to...

I recently acquired a red montipora from a friend exactly one week ago and all of the sudden, the tissue appears to be falling off. Within about six hours it is almost all white. All of my water parameters are in line and the only thing I can think of is my lighting may be different and/or...

Hi I am fairly new to marine tank as I only have kept freshwaters. I have one small orange clownfish and this fish developed white~opaque lesion on R) side of its body. I wasn't sure if it's just body colour change or some kind of infection? I kept this fish about ~1.5month. Noticed this lesion...

I just got some corals I ordered online. A few of them look pretty pathetic. They were shipped overnight, but even still when I opened the box their water was very cold, and the heat pack with them was also cold. The one im most concerned about is a Xenia I believe. See pictures> it looks like...

One of the big concerns people seem to have with Quarantine Tanks is the additional cost. After dropping hundreds to thousands of dollars on a Display Tank, the last thing many might be inclined to do is buy another set of equipment that they will only use infrequently... After a trip to Petco...

Hey all, I got a pair of clowns 3 weeks ago at my LFS (LAX aquarium) and one of them appears to be doing really well but the other looks not good, I am concerned he is sick. He is breathing heavy, his bottom fins are tucked in, he is pale and only swimming by the rocks. The tank is new, these...

Came home today and my clownfish’s mouth was ajar (open) still is and it has a little white thing on it still eats just fine just not being active like normal I’ve posted the best picture I could get, any knowledge on what I should be doing would be greatly appreciated

My clownfish has had this crater looking thing on his face the past week. I’ve been treating it was a medication for bacteria infections but I’ve had no success. I’ve piggybacked this with several 25% water changes, no luck. Since this has started, my poor guy has gotten popping eye as well as...

I recently noticed little white spots on my four red spot glass cardinals (Apogon parvulus). I treated for internal parasites (more on that later) and when that didn’t work I assumed it might be ich and moved all of my fish (the 4 cardinals, a Helfrich’s firefish, and a pink streaked wrasse) to...

Hey all, New here but have been in the hobby about a year. System info in my signature. Water chem. Is at base line optimal..... I run the apex trident system as well as beef it up with roids and fuel. Testing done at min. 3 times a week..... Ok, bought a Ritteri about 3 weeks ago. In LFS it...

Just transferred a Atlantic Blue from my quarantine to my display 125...all of a sudden I start seeing white everywhere. It was hard to take a good photo for you guys but can anyone please help diagnose so I can treat. I’d hate to have my first tang keel over on me... I quarantined for 3 weeks...

I got this blue tang 3 days ago and its been in my QT tank because of the filmy look to it. Marine Velvet and Ich both have dots associated with them so I don't know if this guys actually sick or if hes just stressed? no change in the 3 days. Also excuse the dirty tank, its my QT in my...

I received a marine betta, on Tuesday of last week May 12th. I floated it for about 10 min, then dripped it for 45 min until the salinity matched. He never really did well in the tank, was hiding in the back corner the entire time. I was worried maybe my maroon clown was bother it so I separated...

I've had this tank for 2 years along with these clowns, nothing has been added recently but I've noticed these marks on the side of the female clown. both of the clowns are in a qt with prazi and are being fed metroplex/focus coated food. What should I do? is this merely an irritation and I'm...

Hey guys. So their is this wierd small black clump attached to the side of my zoa. In the center their seems to be this little creature. Impossible to see with naked eye, but if I zoom in you can see what looks like a small critter, inside a clear looking sac. He pops in and out of it, and their...

Hey guys, I'm new here so it's cool to meet you all. I'm posting this today because I noticed my poor Colorado Sunburst BTA is starting to look really strange... Never seen a nem look like it before. It almost looks as though it's withering. The tentacles look almost flat!! This occurred after...

Hi there This does not look good!! What happened and how do I treat this baby?? Im new to the saltwater hobby and I got this entire tank with corals and fishes for a good deal. It has been 3 months now. Then this happened today. First question, is this a lobo? Or loby? And how do I treat this...
