My Xenia is quickly spreading in my rock to my torch. Will this become a problem? I’m worried the torch might sting the xenia, or it’ll grow over the torch. The torch is relatively new (around 2 months) and it’s still on its frag so I can still move it somewhere else. What do you guys think?

Hi all, Attached are photos of my giant mushroom toadstool (that I've had for 4 years) seemingly spontaneously dying? Parameters are all in check. It started sluffing off skin, now a hole has "rotted" as you can see in the photo. When I move it and pull the flesh off it definitely has a...

Hi all, Walked up to the tank and saw my convict tang in the back laying flat on the sand. Gills moving, eyes moving, pectoral fins moving a bit. But pretty non-responsive physically when I netted him and moved him to a safe section of the refugium. (seemed COMPLETELY normal an hour or so...

Reading another thread got me to thinking about times I’ve been stung by something in the tank, what’s the worst sting you’ve had? I’ve been stung by a few anemones before, but I think the worst I can recall is running the back of my hand against a torch...it didn’t necessarily hurt but it was...

Hey guys! So I just moved houses which meant taking apart and moving my 20g tank.. what about adventure that was! Everything transported well and I was able to get things back in order. Except my monti cap frag got knocked off the rock work and fell into my Duncan’s! When I noticed I pulled it...

Hi all! Yesterday morning I noticed my foxface had a large mark on its right side that suspiciously looked like a blenny kiss. After looking at the forum, it must be. I got home in the afternoon and noticed the Fox now has a Brown ring on the same side as the blenny kiss (blenny kiss has faded...

I have a dog face puffer and was told he would steer clear of anemones. Well, he got stung. Yesterday he was twitching and jerking like something was trying to get him. Today he’s hiding under the driftwood and sulking. Is he recovering from the sting? Does anyone have any info on anemones...

I have a magnificent anemone that decided to take a walk into my gyre pump last night. I think it may recover but a bunch of it’s tentacles tore off before I noticed. I think one of them must have stung by hippo tang because it is breathing heavy, has its muscles cramped and flexed to the side...
