Woke up yesterday to see my colt coral in horrible shape.. I can't understand what could be happening to it, but now it's dissolving. What should I do?

Had one of these worms in tank about a year and a half ago but before I could catch it, it dove into my anemone and was gone in the blink of an eye. Both that time and this they came out after lights out.. Only two I've ever seen! They dart around the tank fast.. Pretty quick for their size...

I've been noticing my basslet slowly getting skinny but it's belly looks big. Also, it has a hard time swimming down. I thought it may have issues with its swim bladder. It just swims weird over all. I feed frozen mysis every other day to every 3 days. He eats great and isn't timid at all. All...

This wrasse disappeared a week ago and we thought he must have been eaten by the anemone. When I slapped my filter sock out two days ago I found him in there barely moving. I think when I removed the filter sock and folded it up in order to get it out I must have squashed him : (.. Poor guy...

Anything I can do for this poor guy? He got stung pretty badly by my BTA. I'm also dealing with a damaged Birds Nest and Montipora plate.

So I got home from fishing at 1:30 a.m. and found my green BTA laying face down in the sand and pieces of him everywhere! the tank was super cloudy, my overflow was going haywire because the filter sock was completely clogged and fish are out (lights off) and acting very ill. I'm writing this...

I've had it for a long time so it's kinda dumb that im asking now but it hitchhiked on a zoa frag I got. It has been multiplying and I was waiting for it to grow bigger to see better what it was. I figured some type of mushroom but now I'm wondering if its some type of paly. The mushrooms Ive...

Since I upgraded my filtration, I've had large amounts of coralline algae disappear, as well as another type of algae that was all over the place and looked like montipora the way it grew out like shelves. At the same time I upgraded my filtration, I also upgraded my lights. I would have thought...

My wife was cleaning the glass and knocked a snail off the glass and it fell into my BTA's mouth! Will it eat the snail?? Should I be worried? I reached my hand into the nem to try to get it out and the nem retracted back into the rock work. Please help.

Just discovered my coral beauty has Ich, she was added 2 weeks ago with no signs of Ich at all. Now, she has the evident white spots all over. I discovered it when she and the cleaner shrimp were having a cleaning session. I guess it's only wishful thinking that the shrimp would get it all off...

I bought a green BTA yesterday that from what I was told is a rose BTA that is actually green. They say it looks and acts just like a rose and clones the way a rose does. For whatever that's worth. I don't know the differences. I thought a green was a green and a rose was a rose only because of...

I'm replacing my sump today. At least I'm going to attempt it anyway. I'd like to have it done today but I'm worried about a few things that I wanna bounce off you guys. First thing I have to do is drain my tank(90 gal.) down and take out rocks and corals. Maybe even sand.. I have to move my...

Here's some before and after pics! Before....

Any ideas? Some type of shrimp/ lobster.

I'm looking for some recommendations on a new sump for my 90 gal. SW I'm currently running a very inefficient wet/dry with no fuge area and nowhere to put any media, skimmer, or any other equipment. Im partial to overkill but I do have a limited space. I'm not terribly worried about prices in...

Just purchased 2 neon gobies at lfs on Saturday and I woke up this morning to find only one left and it has ich. I inspected them prior to adding them to my 90 and they were clean. I've haven't had any ich in my tank for the 2 years I've started saltwater so I'm not sure what I need to do here...

Just bought a full grown watchman that has never been paired with a pistol shrimp. I had a pistol shrimp in my tank for a couple weeks prior to adding the watchman today and about 20 minutes after adding him he found the pistol shrimp burrow but it was too small for him to squeeze into but he...

I'd like to get some input on an idea I have to add a refugium to my wet/dry. I have 17" (length) of room under my stand to fit another tank and was looking at dimensions on the Aqueon website to see what size I could accommodate. Looks like their 5.5 gallon is all I could fit but didn't know if...

I traded my 29 bio cube for my friends 90 gal setup a couple weeks ago and I've started to hard plumb the return lines as he set it up with urethane tubing and no check valve. I noticed while looking around under the tank there is a sticker that says "this bottom is tempered glass for strength...

This stuff grew out of the rock and there's the two different types. Had to cut out the one because it started choking out my zoas. I cut it out once and it grew back. I kinda like it.. Just wondering if anyone knows what it is.

Have a fairly large Zoa colony that for the past week about 1/4 of it in one area won't open. I also have a Duncan that doesn't fully open or at Least is a bit deflated. All other corals are doing great. This just doesn't make sense. I haven't changed anything and all my params check out good...

I have a ricordea that has partially split and half moved off the original frag rock. As it moved the Rock came unglued and fell off the the LR. Now it's hanging by the half that became attached to the LR. Just wondering if I can cut it where the two are still attached and not yet completely...

I have a 29 BC 1 year old and since 9 months into it have been battling detritus every step of the way. I've tried adding more CUC, heavy water changes and vacuuming the rocks weekly, and it gradually increases to a point where I have to take everything out, do a 90% water change and thoroughly...

Hey everyone, I have a Coralife mini aqua light 11" T5 fixture that I've replaced bulbs on 3 times in 9 months. First ones lasted about 6 months, second set lasted 3 months and the last set I replaced 2 weeks ago and they just went out.... Anyone else have this problem with this fixture? Is...

Just found the head of my feather duster caught in my overflow detached from the tube. I'm assuming the rest of the body is in the tube but I'm not sure if it may still be alive.. Maybe it molted?? Do they molt? It doesn't look like the tube is decaying and I haven't seen the body of the worm...
