I noticed my damsel brushing himself against rocks and objects in the tank and shaking himself alot. I managed to get him out of my main display so I can treat him when I know what exactly I'm dealing with. I have a quarantine tank set up. This is what he looks like in the dark with a normal...

Hi everyone! I’m pretty new to the reefing community and I’m on the market to upgrade from my 32 gal bio cube to a full on Red Sea Max S 500!!

Okay so this is mainly my Dads tank but I am very curious. I take care of it while he is away for winter and etc. Our BTA has been happy and established for over a year. The other day we were positive it split for the first time. Shortly after we could only find one. It did a nightmare walk...

I’m not sure how this website works considering I signed up for it just to ask these few questions. I’ve had my salt water tank running for a year and a half. When I was first introducing fish to it I got two Ocellaris clowns, two Chromis and a watchman/pistol shrimp pair. They’ve all been doing...

Good night, two nights ago I found my pregnant mandarin fish. I have a couple. I haven't seen the female release the eggs yet, in how many days can this happen? or should it have happened already? I want to get the hatchlings ahead

Hey all, I am from another forum but am seeking help. We have had a 60 gallon saltwater up and running for over a year now with no problems. Suddenly about a month ago we noticed 15 of our zoa frags & colonies close up and “melt” away in less than a couple hours. Then, our palys started to do...

At my work we have aquariums that we have to feed the fish. We have a guy who deals with them occasionally but I need to relay what’s happening to this fish. She used to be so happy when I would feed her and come out of her shyness occasionally but now all she does is hide and lay on the coral...

Hi everyone I’d appreciate some assistance identifying this. Noticed my Spotcinctus clown had these red marks on its head when the lights went out. Very active still, just ate. It’s in a pair with another Spotcinctus so maybe it’s some pairing injury that got infected. Also I have a large...

I recently went out of town for a week. Naturally, I had asked my wife to feed the fish and keep an eye on things. Long Story short, I get a call from my wife (May 3) as I'm heading to the airport to fly home with her frantically saying "The lights are off and the pumps aren't turning on the...

Hi there We have had our Goniopora for about 6 months and at first it was super happy but slowly has started dying from the bottom up. If has stopped receding but the polyps never come out any more. We have moved it around the tank every couple of weeks to see if it likes a different spot with...

Success with paraguard? I have a blue tang in a 30 gal QT. I have been using paraguard for 3 days. I am thinking of switching to a 20 gal QT so that I can use cupramine instead because I want to use the 30 gal as a DT in my bedroom. Will I do more damage to her by switching over? I am also...
