I noticed this bump on my leather coral the other day. I can not tell if it is an infection or if it is new growth. Any thoughts? Sent from my SCH-I545 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Hello all, I have a tree coral that was knocked off (really tore off, since I see some tissue left on the rock) its rock by a large turbo snail. I tried placing it in a small tubaware container with another rock, hoping it would try to reattach, but it doesn't look like that is working. Would it...

I recently bought 2 reef crabs for my Pico tank. It has been almost two weeks and they still have not come out from under my live rock. Are they this shy? I have some bubble algae I was hoping they would eat, but they haven't touched it. I know they are not dead, since they moved further under...

Hi all, I'm ready to add some shrimp to my pico 5 gal tank. I've had it for 2 mths now all parameters have been stable. Kind of wanted to add two sexy shrimp. I normally do a 2 gal. water change once a week (every Sunday) but I only have time to pick up the shrimp tomorrow. Can I do a wc...

Just curious, I noticed that the stalk of my new leather coral looks like its "peeling", can't think of a better word. Or something maybe growing on it. It has not shrunk in it has been fully extended, I have noticed some clear mucus stuff come off of it, not sure if this is normal, I've never...

So excited about starting up my new tank. We are only keeping the one clownfish and maybe some sexy shrimp later on. This is my first small saltwater tank, so any advice would be great! I will need to add a good clean up crew soon, any suggestions? I don't want anything that will mess with my coral!

My husband and I are starting a new 5 gallon tank for seahorses. I have been reading loads of articles and have some questions before we begin, since a lot of these articles seem to contradict each other. First, the initial setup, we want to use live rock, but a lot of articles have said not...

The past week one of my leather corals was acting a bit strange, so I checked all my different chemical levels and noticed only the calcium was a bit high (460ppm). I stopped adding reef builder thinking it would come down quick, but it has not. I did a water change and checked it again and it...

Saw this moving in my tank yesterday, have never noticed it before, I think it is a type of snail, any thoughts? Hope the picture is clear enough...

I have had this Xenia for close to 8 months and it has always done wonderful! It even split and a new piece of coral was produced. But for the past two weeks it has shrunken down and will not perk back up. Do these have a shorter life span? The tanks salinity/ph/temp has not changed.

I'm noticing what appears to be white fungus on the back glass of my aquarium and in my overflow box. What is it and why did it appear. The water conditions are perfect and I do a large water change every other week. I've had the tank for a year & have never had issues before. Will this harm...

I feed my fish every 3 days, but have read a Sixline Wrasse should eat 3 times in one day. Is this something I should attempt?

I bought a Sea Hare two days ago and woke up this morning to find it dead. Are these normally sensitive? Or do they tend to be hardy? I want to get another, but I'm a bit hesitant now.

What are the best ways to keep algae from overgrowing? I have two emerald crabs and a protein skimmer, and I really do not want to add chemicals.

Hello everyone, I want to start adding some coral to my tank. Any suggestions of coral types that would not be bothered by a moving Haitian Anemone? I have a small frag of torch coral currently, but I'm not sure if I made the right choice.
