tentacles

I’m sick in bed and have been for a few days. My husband is doing the best he can trying to take care of the tank maybe a week ago after a 12 to 15 gallon water change in my 120 gallon tank, I had a huge bloom. I ended up researching here and turning off my lights for three days. This made my...

I recently added some ocean aquacultured live rock to my tanks that came with all sorts of cool sponges tunicates etc. Added a really nice piece to my macro tank. I’ve noticed a few bristle worms crawling around when the lights go out which I don’t mind. I was checking for other critters last...

I noticed these guys the other day on a piece of rock. They sort of look like GSP but they don’t have the purple crust like GSP and they are more white with a very light hint of green on the tips of the tentacles I do have GSP in my tank and they are sort of similar to the smaller ones I can...

Really curious what these are. I've searched the internet on and off endlessly over the past few months to no avail. One or two has turned to a couple dozen and I'm wondering whether I need to take action. They haven't died off like pineapple sponges usually do. They look like a cross between a...

I recently purchased a nice purple nephthea coral and just now noticed these white tentacles that have grown from the rock since I got it. I don’t remember seeing them when I put it in the tank so I’m pretty sure they’ve grown over the past month. Very curious as to what these are/ this is?

Last night I discovered what looks like tenticles coming from one of my sps corals. Has anyone seen this before or able to ID this for me?

I’ve had this torch coral for about 4 months now and recently has been looking like this. It looks like the head of the torch is showing and it’s almost pushing itself out to show its head rather than the thick tentacles covering it. My two other torches are doing just fine and have thick...

I know a lot of people love SPS corals, and they are great. But I love LPS corals. They provide so much movement and color in a reef tank and are so diverse. I love their sweeping tentacles and large polyps. I love watching euphyllia heads split. I love their feeding responses. Which is your...

i have a teal hairy lepto frag that i want to use as a barrier for that part of the zoa garden, for the rock above. lfs said the stingers should keep them at bay. looking more into it im a little worried it might start to encroach on the zoas, push them back? any experience ??

Just noticed these things and I am not sure if they are feather dusters, vermetid snails, some kind of aiptasia or something else. I recently moved this tank to another state, but nothing new has gone into the tank. Please help

Hello, I have been looking for articles on my scenario but I can't really find anything similar... I accidentally increased the lights too fast and burned my corals. I have decreased lights by a lot. This is what my torches look like, there is no tentacles left on these but there is still...

I just noticed two little clear tentacles coming out of the base of one of my corals. They are kind of thick and have darker tips. Are they sweeper tentacles? I was under the impression that they would only come out at night. Also, they sway around with the current, if that helps. Thanks for the...

Noticed something bright red on some live rock in a dark section of the sump a few weeks ago. 2” red parts. It’s in a hard to photograph area, tonight I crawled in with flash light, check it out! Had this rock either 2 yrs or 10 yrs idk. I need to get back in there and see if it’s a crazy...

Today I found this mushroom moved over and underneath where it used to be was this thing. It is bright orange under the light and theres about 30 legs all appearing to come from the same spot. Definitely moving and looks like the legs are stretching out and grabbing things. Should I remove it...

Hi guys I'm new in the hobby and got my first frag 2 days ago. I tried cutting away a bad part today and when the lights went out I noticed tentacles comming out of the part where I cut the GSP frag. After some research I think it is a spaghetti worm. Can anyone help me identify it? I dipped...

Today I woke up to the tissue on my torch looking like it receded or that the tentacles have been ripped. My first thought was brown jelly disease so I immediately removed it and did an iodine dip. Afterward i took a baster to it and sucked off any loose tissue. There wasn't any but then it made...

I recently got a torch coral. It is my first coral and I am trying to do everything right. I acclimated it yesterday through the drip method then used dip and checked all over for eggs and stuck on hitchhikers. I placed it in the tank and it was closed up. Over night it opened up and is still...

Is this something to be concerned with? It this more than one worm? Its about an inch and a half in length. I've never seen anything like it, any info or guesses would be greatly appreciated!

So when I got these guys they were extending their tentacles every night for about a week. Ive had them for little more than three weeks and I saw one the other night extend maybe a tentacle halfway. Why is that?
