So my button scoly decided to deviate from its normal diet. I noticed the other day it had a huge lump in it, I had just added a bunch of nassarius snails but I thought "no way, they are way too big and the lump isn't big enough." I was worried though, it was a big lump. Today the culprit has...

These guys are all over my tank. I have looked everywhere and asked many people, and no one seems to know what these are. They seem more active at night and when trying to touch the tentacle it retracts. I know it is definitely not a bristle worm or vermitid. And I do not think these things...

Hey all, I've recently moved from a 35g cube to the IM Nuvo 20. Just trying to see if I could get any help, or any QR codes, with other peoples settings. I just dropped my normal settings down from 1/2 since this tank is 1/2 the height of the old one and bubble coral + hammers don't seem to be...

Hello, I just bought a new A3 Apex. I’m trying to set it up in the Fusion app (iOS) but I’m not succeeding. I can get the logo to turn blue and the hot spot/network will pop up. Once I click join, it leaves a message “Connecting to your Apex…” but it just keeps spinning there. I have tried set...

I got this octospawn at my local LFS for 10$ earlier in the month because it was having issues with the tissue receding and figured i would take the risk cause it so cheap and if i could help it recover it would be a steal for that price. It hasnt gotten much better but it also hasnt gotten much...

Hi, I have a Fluval Evo 5. The tank has been running for about 6-7 months now, absolutely no issues until now. I had a pike blenny and a elongate dottyback (too small of a tank and overstocked, I know, was planning on moving them to a 16 gallon) until both vanished one day. I pulled apart the...

Hi all. My anemones has been looking worse and worse over the course of the past month or so. Started off looking awesome which I have attached to the pics. Since then I’ve had one move all around the tank and the other just not fully opened. Parameters are below. Would appreciate any insight...

I saw these dark “bubbles” show up. I tried blowing them off with a turkey baster and they wouldn’t budge. Tried nudging them and they’re somewhat firm (didn’t pop). Tank is 4 months old; have been working to get dinos under control. Is this related? Any idea?? Pic attached!

Hello everyone, I recently bought a Mandarin Goby for my year and a half 32 gal saltwater tank, for the past 2 weeks I've seen him pecking at the substrate and rocks all the time which I suppose means there are copepods in the tank, but still he seems to be very thin and is not eating the live...

Any idea what this is? I just got a frag today and not sure what it is. The coral is a red monti

Hi all, Seeking some advise on what this could be on my yellow tang. It just started a few days ago. Looks like it's bruised or maybe an infection? Has a couple bristles sticking out the red area. Could this possibly caused by bristleworms? The yellow tang eats and swims just fine and no...

Hey all, I'm having trouble getting my 2 Ai Prime 16hds to run their schedule. I downloaded one of the recommended lighting schedules directly from AIs website. It works perfectly on my original Ai Prime (non hd) but I cant get my 16hds to do anything. When I run the "schedule preview" the...

This GSP frag attached to the backwall has been in the tank ~3-4 weeks, the little critter in question seemed to be attached to the GSP. It looked similar in color to the purple mat of the GSP, so I thought it was the GSP stretching to grow onto the back wall. Today the little guy has moved...

Hi All, I have a 90 gallon tank and have noticed some coral that aren’t doing so well. The first guy is a bowerbanki, which I have had for a while. It looked great at first, until I switched my lights and it looks very shrunken with skeleton exposed. Originally, I had 2 AI Prime HDs but switched...

I have a blue spotted toby that has 'clamped' himself to a rock and doesn't seem to want to swim around. He has never done this in the four or five months I've had him. He's usually right at the front of the tank begging for food when I get home from work. I have fed him a bit heavy this week...
