Saw this on my damsel this morning… impossible to catch the fish so far ☹️. Can anyone tell me what type of pest it is and if it’s going to come off on its own?
I just got home from a trip and noticed some small black dots on a little frag I have. Does anyone recognize these? My first thought is a flatworm or something but I can hardly see them.
I took it out and dipped it as soon as I saw it, but I'm considering if I should dip the rest of my frags. I...
I’ve just bought a pyramid algae snail (tectus snail) from my LFS, i put it in my tank and i’ve come to realize it has this weird looking thing on it shell. Whatever it is seems to retreat quickly back into a hole in the shell when i move the snail when it feels endangered. can anyone help me...
Hi guys. My tank has been running about 3-4 years now. I haven’t seen these worms at all really. In the past few months their population has increased rapidly. Are they bad? I’ve had a few polyps die off on my LPS, but that could be from something else. Are these things bad? What are they?
Hello Everyone,
So I am currently concerned but not too concerned about these weird pests that I have found living on my Zoa Coral. I am not sure exactly what they are but I would like to figure that out sooner then later. This way I can take care of it if needed.
So far from what I have...
Hmm Any idea what’s in my daughters tank living on this snail? It started as a long spiky thing and now has almost a bloom of sorts on top

I found these on the bottom of a ceramic plug rack that was on the sand.
You can see a frag plug hole in one of the pictures.
There seems to be a dark spot inside, it's not moving and one popped when I tried to flich it off
Hello, this is the predicament I am currently in:
I contracted Acropora Eating Flatworms in late 2022 and have been dipping three frag racks full of Acro frags and colonies for the past 7 weeks in Potassium Chloride.
I dipped in 1 TBS Food Grade KCl per gallon for 10 minutes each rack. The...
Hello, this is a 13 gallon 2.5 year old tank… only pest I have that I know of are bristle worms however I just noticed this attached to the plug of a bird nest coral. Would this be aptasia? And if so how do you recommend I take care of it, the coral isent doing so well so maybe take the whole...
Just saw this floating around in the bottom of my bare bottom tank. Took it out for some inspection. Included pictures of what I would along with the rock if that would help identification. Thanks!
Hello fellow reefers, I was looking at my corals today and I noticed that there was something suspicious living inside one of my corals. I have searched all over the internet trying to figure out what they are and have not had much luck. Based on the pictures that I have attached. You’ll notice...
I just recieved a zoanthid frag from aquasd 2 days ago which is what im assuming this came from and i just found this today on one of its polyps. I have only seen one so far and i checked the 3 of my zoanthid frags which have been doing fine but what im wondering is if they stay solely near and...
Cleaned out my HOB filter today and found this guy on the filter. Never seen anything like it before. Currently the tank has a six line wrasse, a diamond goby, and a couple hermit crabs. Tank is 29g also, any idea of what it could be?
I been having issues with flat worms and nudis. I am wondering if there are any fish that will eat these. I have a 29 gallon to keep that in mind. Flat worms don’t bother me much. But the nudis are. But if there is something I can for both. Thank you.
I’ve been reefing for two years and had a bunch of corals during my time but I’ve never seen aptasia in my tank. Started off with all dry rocks .
i don’t quarantine any of my corals and I don’t have a specific vendor
Am I lucky ? Or is there other people out there that doesn’t have it either...
Sorry for the crappy photos, hard to get a good one. Tank is 1 1/2 years old. Mixed reef 40 gallon cube. 10 gallon water change EVERY week.
I just noticed this weird like gray almost mold like fuzz growing in small splotches on my rocks.
Not sure what it is, would appreciate advise please
idk how I got these tiny feather duster guys in the first place but they are getting completely out of control. I really don’t mind them on my rockwork but they are completely covering my eagle eye zoa. I’ve tried picking at them and brushing them off with no luck.. I heard from my lfs that a...
