I bought a Blonde Naso Tang from my lfs the other day and put him in the qt tank. Once I put him in the tank, I noticed that he had some small white specks. Does this look like ick? The lfs says that it is not, but I'm not too sure. Should I go ahead and do hyposalinity? Thanks.....

Our Naso Tang had an accident with the sump return tube in our tank. He got caught in the current and slammed into the top of the reef. He did escape, and appeared ok for about a day. He then, started swimming along the bottom and finally started to fold in half on his side. We put him in...

About one month ago I purchased a candy cane coral from my LFS, they told me that this coral was easy to take care of. When the coral was in the tank at the LFS, the polyps were not expanded all the way out due to being put in the tank the day before. (At least that what the LFS told me)...

Hello, I had this Zoanthid that popped up from my xmas tree worm rock and has double in size the last week or two.. The problem is that it appears to be killing the coral on the xmas tree worm rock... :( Is there a safe way to remove and possibly relocate the offending creature?? I have...

Hello, I just noticed a day or two ago that there was this small gray-silver looking think on the glass on the back of my tank. It is approximately 3/16 in diameter, silver-gray in color with some black markings, and sightly pointy in the center. My guess is that this is some sort of algae...
