emergency help

Hello all, I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction to save a new Goniopora frag I got about 6 days ago. On the first couple of days the polyps were extending and it seemed happy. Now it's completely withdrawn and polyps look like they are peeling off! The flesh looks super...

I recently got into reef tanks, I just got this clownfish 4 days ago, in the past couple days he has started to act different not swimming as usual and started just wanting to sit at the bottom of the tank. I removed him and put him into another tank I have in a breeder as I’m not sure what he...

My stratosphere colony seems to be suffering from an unidentified issue . Some can help identify and treat thanks.

Hello, about a week ago my lionfish had cloudy eyes and looked a stressed, so I went to my LFS and asked for their help. They said it looked like a fungal infection and recommended me Melafix and told me to dose it daily for 6 days and do a 25% water change on the 7th. it is the sixth day and...

Hello all I’ve got a 6-7 month old tank - got a new Anemome - acclimatised for an hour and added - was open for first 12-24 hours, stayed in the same spot, didn’t wonder about. Then it contracted into a ball like shape for the next 48-72 hours and didn’t open up. Now it finally opened up but...

My black oscilaris clown fish, today had white string by his gills on each side that went away in a few hours. His slime coat looks more noticeable and his eyes look a bit dull. He is eating well but his mouth is opening and closing quickly. He also is not in his anemone today and is just...

Greetings reefers, I honestly need desperate help with the tank. I lost all of my fish due to some disease a couple of weeks ago. After deaths. I have done two water changes after that one 50% and another 25%. I have many corals in the tank still. Now all of the sudden I see this massive...

Hello, I have only fish in my tank and live rock since I can’t really upkeep corals and all that. I got a new fish which is a spiny box puffer fish. I know that there diet NEEDS hard stuff like clams and all that for their beaks. But the problem with mine is that he doesn’t go for them. He’s not...

Just installed a new Ecotech Vectra L2. And it leaks. My bulkhead is 1”. Plumbing all the way through is 1”. However when the plumbing reaches the final joint to the input, I’m forced to use a 1” slip joint that reduces down to 1”. The input is 38mm(not quite 1.5”). It’s sloppy and it leaks. The...

Alrighty folks just your friendly average neighborhood reefer here. So I’ve added a set of mochas to my tank along with my goby and pistol pair. One of my mochas has a long stringy white poop I’ve already been in here deep investigating. Do I need to quarantine my one mocha or can I treat it...

Please see pics. Got water tested and all values are safe. This happened overnight. Nothing has changed in tank for 3 weeks. Overnight I lost a lawnmower blenny, diamond goby, and a sailfin tang. I have two clowns that are struggling. What’s this white slime on everything?

So i have a red sea reefer 350 and initially set the flow to 1% which ik is too low but this is irrelevant rn the flow being output was definitely 1% now altough it says 1% and on the controller i cant scroll the wheel lower the flow is like 50% how do i lower the wattage? or am i doing smth...

Keeping this short and quick, I dosed some ropox before all of this, nitrates close to .1, phos was 100 ppm, alk low but it's always been low and stable so I doses the recommended amount after water change. did big water change, tank is 60 gallons and I did a 20 gallon water change due to tank...

Hi, I’ve noticed that most of my euphyllia have receded flesh from the bottom (hammers, torches), but they opened fine during the day (maybe slightly retracted but unnoticeable). The only issue I’m seeing is 0 phosphate. I’ve tested twice, Last Friday and today with Hanna phosphate URL. Here’s...

Feather duster put in tank today. Parameters all solid as can be (ammonia, nitrites, nitrates all good). He had decent flow and was acting totally normal all afternoon. The moment I turned out the lights, boom the bugger jumps ship and is now completely out of his tube and crawling on the sand...

powder brown tang looking very bad, seems to be slimming on the bottom of its belly and eye. What to do. I thought my lights maybe to string but I turned them down and still looking shady. A lot of flow and oxygen in the tank. I have other tangs and none of them are experiencing the same.

Why are my soft coral bleaching. Please help me Salinity 1.024 Par reading 90-120 I posted my parameters on a attachment

Hello, my coral lost tissue in very strange way - about half of each polyp lost tissue. I don't know what could be the reason. I got this coral about 5 days ago and it looked very well. I have very good parameters.I keep sucesfully corals such as acropora, fungia, micromussa, euphyllia, chalice...

Flesh exposed on elegant coral, noticed it’s been bitten off. The damaged side mouth is still attached but its skeleton and flesh is 20% exposed underneath. The coral has 3 mouths in total so will it heal itself or is it the start of more deterioration???? how long will it take for the coral to...

I ordered this hammer coral and it got delayed in shipping. It seems the tip of the polyps have fallen off on some. What are some emergency procedures I can do to maximize the chance of this coral living?

Recently got a hairy green mushroom but it drifted into the powerhead and got shredded. There’s a big hole in the middle of it now, can it still survive?

Woke up and found this guy laying on his side and breathing heavy, all other fish and corals acting fine, ammonia and nitrite are zero, nitrate is 10, hydrogen peroxide was used about 3 days ago and corals were glued yesterday. he's part of a mated pair and the other one is acting fine, any ideas?

Hello, I have a recirculating co2 scrubber running, and in between the lid of the skimmer and the scrubber, is a jar that collects water. It works great, but unfortunately it appears my skimmer randomly went nuts, filled the jar, and sucked water down through the media, and then up the tube in...

A doctors office had given me this and it was left in their sump overnight, is it recoverable?

Hi everyone, Noob here. Long time listener first time caller. Earlier today we had a nice service for our friend Zero. He was a good fish. RIP 12-1-22. He was afflicted with some type of parasite my guess is Ich or Brook. I leaned towards Brook because of how he looked on death and observing...
