If it is a colt coral, doesn't it release toxins? I have a lot of LPS in my tank and I heard that it's recommended to run carbon. Should I run carbon 24/7 or just every now and then? Is there any negatives with running carbon that I should be aware of?
I started a budget college friendly reef tank on December 30th 2022. My goals for this nano reef tank were to be simple and easy to care for yet still get the great results I wanted. My main issues is i’m a college student who works so i don’t have all the time throughout the week to keep a...
Im curious about what parameters are recommended for keeping SPS, LPS, and soft corals together. I know that LPS like nitrate at 10-15, SPS would prefer it at 3ish, while soft corals prefer dirtier water. What parameter would work best?
Also I know that lighting and placement is very important...

I started the work on my 90 gallon budget build today. I’ve spent the last few months getting the tank, parts and pieces, and supplies. Still more to get but this will get me going and keep me busy. I’ve always wanted my own salt water aquarium and now is the time. Unfortunately I don’t have the...

I’d love to know more specific names for my softies as many Aussie LFS use very broad terms when selling them. It feels like everything is some type of leather, even if it’s something else entirely. Any ideas on species/names for the corals below?

Any corrections is welcomed as well.
I started my very first tank April 2022 and recently joined the R2R community almost a year into the hobby. Prior to setting up my Fluval 13.5 I’ve never had a fish tank, saltwater or fresh. I decided to get into the hobby one day and the very next day I was at my LFS purchasing all the...
Hi all,
Looking to add a mushroom or two to my display tank, will take a look at pretty much anything besides basic red, blue, lava lamp mushrooms etc. Really would like to purchase a blue bounce, mine didn't survive my tank crash. Green mushroom with dark blue bubbles.
Would prefer someone...
Hi Everyone,
I'm afraid I might have zoa pox. Since yesterday, my zoas have started closing up. Just now I noticed a white spot on one of the closed up polyps. Could this be anything else? Is there any good treatment for this?

I picked up a few new soft corals and was wondering if anyone could help me with a little identification. I'm not sure what any of these guys are. I tried searching for some similar ones but I just don't know for sure. I think the tall star ones are some sort of Clavularia and I thought the...
Hello, I finally got an upgraded light, I have AI Prime 16 HD. I know that there are other important factors besides lighting, but any suggestions for hard corals or more advanced corals now that I’m in a better lighting situation? Thanks in advance.
I come from freshwater fishkeeping. And always wanted to give coral reef tanks a try. I read guides and watch videos on how to set up a reef tank. Every coral purchased with research done before hand for best results. I started with corals that are listed as easy to keep. Mainly soft corals. For...
I have a “white” sinularia that looks green now. But I think it was suffering from Tissue Necrosis. I cut off the affected region. Is this tissue necrosis? It would not blow off and an affected piece easily came off with tweezers.
