What kind of anemone is this?

A couple weeks ago my friend gave me 40 gal tank because she didn’t want it and I’ve recently decided, once I have the time, I will just upgrade my tank with it. I currently have a 20 gal ref tank with 2 nano clowns and a dwarf angel In it. During April vacation I would love to transfer that all...

I bought this coral about 2 months ago as my first coral. I was asking for Xenia corals and the person at the store gave me this. I had a feeling it wasn’t a Xenia but I went with it. Then when school started I asked one of the marine teachers and they thought it was either a Zoanthid or a...

So I just got home from a week long vacation away from my tank and the pet sitter said everything went smoothly, which seemed like it until I woke up to a bunch of small baby snails. I have no clue how they appeared. My only guess if I purchased my snail pregnant and she just laid the eggs or...

I bought this coral about 2 weeks ago as my first coral and everything has been doing fine. I did my first water change with it in the tank today and for some odd reason half of it won’t open... I tested everything that I have test kits for and it all seems normal and nothing has changed, PH was...

Does anyone know why my macro algae has been turning white? I tried looking it up but I got lots of different answers. Is it bad? Good? I’m just not sure. I want to add some coral into my tank soon but now with this I’m not so sure of this is a good idea. Thanks to anyone who helps [emoji4]

My family decided they are moving into a new house and I need to think of a way to move my tank into the new house. We have until April. I really don’t want to restart the tank but my parents think it’s the only way. The tank isn’t big, it’s a 20 gal. The house is about a mile away from the...

I bought a new light for my tank for new incoming corals. Because the light didn’t come with a hood I need to hang it from my ceiling which means there is no top for my tank lol. Which is completely fine I just need to put a piece of glass over it until I get my seahorses because my clowns like...

Hi I know this is about my 3rd thread on lights for my tank, I am very sorry but I just want to get a few things straight before I go out and spend 100$ on lights. I currently have an led hood fixture that came with the tank I bought but from what I understand that is not enough for a tree coral...

I have been looking for macroalgaes to put in my soon to be seahorse tank and I came about purple frillys. I thought it was a coral but I found it on a website that sells macro algae’s ( https://www.live-plants.com/ ). Is it an algae or a coral? And if it is a coral would it be ok to put in a...

I plan on putting a Kenya tree coral in my tank within the next month or so and I just want to get as much info as I can. Say a piece of the coral comes off of the whole coral and it frags itself to an area of the tank that I don’t want it to, how do I take it off?

Hello, I am currently cycling my second seahorse tank. I don’t have anything it in besides live rock and it is cycling correctly. I would like to put in some corals once I am all set up with the seahorses in the tank. I’ve done a little bit of research and seems like you can put soft corals in...

How long am I supposed to keep the shrimp in my tank while it’s cycling? The whole time or only a few days, I don’t remember hahaha

My baby Erectus seahorse does not seem as active and isn't eatting that much anymore. She seems really weak and just floats with the current or hangs out at the bottom of the tank. Today all she had was 2 pieces of mysis shrimp. The other seahorse in the tank seems perfectly fine. She eats very...

I went to the beach today and it inspired me to get some new macro algae for my seahorse tank. Because my fish store only sells one type of macro algae it looks a little boring in my tank. I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with buying macro algae online?? I just want to be extra...

My seahorse on occasion, will swim over to a small patch of red macroalgae, stick her head in it and rub it around. Is she itchy? Or something else. I have a video of her doing it I will try to figure out how to attach it...

For the past day and a half my baby seahorse has not eaten. I got her about three weeks ago and was eating fine then but, lately she has not been willing to eat. The other seahorse I have is eating perfectly fine she eats absolutely everything. I Feed her frozen mysis shrimp but because she has...

My 20 gallon saltwater tank that has 2 seahorses and a pipe fish, and is overrun with red slime algae. I just don't know what to do with it anymore. I have taken everything out of the tank scrubbed it down numerous times put it back in the tank, it will grow back two days later. Is there some...

Has anyone heard of flourish glue? I saw it in a YouTube video of this girl setting up her freshwater tank, she put her plants on rocks with the glue any they stayed on it. I wanted to do that with my saltwater if anyone has used it (I wanted to attach my red algae to my live rock) do u think...

I got 2 peppermint shrimp, a hermit crab and some dragons breath algae all at the same time abt 3 weeks ago to start the cycle of my seahorse tank. Everything seemed to be doing fine the shrimp had even molted!! Then I got the start of a diatom bloom and it started to cover the tank by a lot...

A couple days ago I noticed one yellow spot on one of my dead corals that I got from my local salt water store. I didn't think much of it bc my peppermint shrimp and hermit crab that's currently in there have not been effected by it (they are cycling the tank). I just noticed today after school...

I got a small patch of red macro algae last Saturday. I know it had only been like 5 days but I don't see any growth at all with this little guy. I watched a video on YouTube and it was a video of some macro growing and filling up a 20 gallon tank in 16 hours, I'm just wondering if I'm doing...

Hello , hope everyone is having a good day! I am new to these forums and new to salt water keeping. I'm not however new to keeping fish, I've kept freshwater ever since I was 3 (now almost 15) and for Christmas my only gift was to get seahorses, I am absolutely fascinated by them and just had...
