identification

I've got an annoying nuisance in my reef and I want to sort it out. I'm hoping you kind folks can help point me in the right direction to ID this. Description: Blows off coral/rock/sand easily but returns quickly Stringy brownish color Doesn't appear to create it's own bubbles within but will...

Hey all, Just joined and am looking for some help. I am trying to identify this protein skimmer. I was going through a bunch of stuff salt water supplies I had and came across it. Once identified, would it be too much for a 15 nano? I'm trying to avoid getting another one if this would work...

Hi everyone, Just bought these and i cant find anything similar to them. Aqua sd calls them blue wowsers, but i was hoping someone knew the more common name. Thx for the input.

Hi Everyone, Need help w figuring out the problem w these zoas. I floated frag in bag to equalize temp, then dipped a few frags in coral rx. Rinse w tank water then placed new frags in qt tank. My other frags are doing great, but this one in the picture has mucous surrounding a few polyps...

Hey guys Anyone knows what that thing could be? Is it a coral? It's growing on my rock, good looking but I'd like to know what it is. Its color is a pale pink, peach, white ... hard to tell. here's a pic

Hi everyone, Just bought this off an auction and i was hoping to get the id name usually used rather the funky, crazy names to make things confusing lol. Here is the pic, would appreciate ur inputs on the id and the usual care w lighting and placement. Thx

hi everyone, I have a jbj 28 gallon aio with 27 watts leds 1 watt actinic. Ammonia, nitrite and phosphates 0 while nitrates low at 5-10. Calcium at 440 and kh 6-7 and i dose w seachem 1 and 2, target feed w phyto and brightwell. I always dip new zoas w coral rx and acclimate low then move...

So i got a shipment of frags a month ago and there were a couple freebie zoas. I have a jbj 28 nano so the 14k overrides my actinic and so the awesome color doesnt come out till late. Anyway the 1st frag has a blue mouth with yellow rings--sorta like LA lakers without the yellow skirt instead...

Hi everyone, I am currently trying to determine the worth of these zoas/paly frags and its is difficult finding accurate info w all of the exotic names and such and sometimes they look different from google searches. Also hard to determine how accurate the pictures considering their heavy...

Hi everyone, just finished coral rx and qt of frags and i have them now in dt jbj 28 gallon so it doesnt have the massive blue tinge. Besides rastas, devils armor, and blue hornets, i got a couple mystery frags. Anyway, the first frag was a freebie and when my daylights go out leaving my...

I have had this Favia for close to a year now with no problems. Params are good Temp: 80 pH: 8.2 NO3: 5 PO4: .01 Mars Aqua at 50% 16" off the water Everything in the tank is very happy and growing (mostly sps and lps few softies). I just noticed this white film covering half the colony, it was...

Hi everyone, I purchased this frag about 2 weeks ago from a Petco near me. Wasn't in great shape so thought I would get it and see if I could bring it back, I guess you could say. Well it is doing great and has several new heads on in but I can't figure out if it is a form of Xenia or maybe a...

I have been fighting what I believe to be Dinos and have been in and out of my tank for over a year. I have attached some pics I took today through my microscope of the organic. It doesn't appear to be moving. They appear rapidly, hang all over my SPS and accumulate or create bubbles. They...

Can anyone tell me what this is? I saw it in a display tank at one of our LFS this week. The owner said it was rare and told me what it is, but now I can't remember! It seems to be some kind of anenome inside a hard out covering. Thanks!!

I believe even after extensive safeguards my tank is now infested with aptasia...everything was brand new, rock and sand dry...my three coral frags closely inspected and dipped...I don't believe it was my CuC...as they were added months prior to coral...thoughts?? How much "Spores" does it take...

Hi guys! My first coral shipment came in yesterday. As it was ordered as a pack there were no specific names on the bags. I'd love help with identifying them. Thanks!

Got this frag from a friend. Need an ID on them. Thanks!

Hello, I recently got a this frag from a fellow reefer and have no idea what it is. I think it's sps and someone told me it's a type of goniopora but I can't find anything online that looks similar to this... The frag is about the size of a quarter and the polyps are super tiny. Any help would...

I bought this coral and don't know what it's called If I am in wrong fourm I apologize I'm new to all this stuff

Unsure what this dark spot is, sponge or plant ? there are a couple hidden away.

bought a new 11 pound Fiji rock a couple days ago and am seeing a small snail and crab, probably more critters yet to be discovered. The snail is probably 1/16 of an inch across and the crab is about 1/8 of an inch across (very rough estimates). Please let me know if either of the guys are...

Discovered tonight. #1 I wish I could have gotten a better view of it, but I couldn't for the life of me get it to come into focus. and #2

Ive noticed about four of these little (tiny) new growths, but they don't seem to be going away, only growing and I was hoping for an ID. I know the pic is blurry, but look inside the white circles I drew to highlight. They look, honestly, like little dendros with a base (that is pinkish-yellow...
