hey all, so a few days ago I bought a red scolymia, and was curious if this is a actual scoly and not a trachyphylia that looks like a scoly, as i have seen trachys that look exactly like this, but with more of a open "core" http://imgur.com/gallery/UveSmEG Also regarding that, where should I place it if It is a trachy or scoly?

Hi, this is my first time posting here and I am wandering what sort if worm this is ( sorry the photo is bad) and whether it's bad or not and if so, the best way to get rid of it. I got up this morning and saw it. When I turned the aquarium light on, it seemed to try and slink back. This is my first marine set-up although I've had cold and tropical fresh water fish for years. Any help and tips would be greatly appreciated, Thanks!

Unknown Critter hiked his way into the DT
Azure Phoenix Reefing posted a topic in Identification Forum
Hello fellow reefers, here I am again, this time with an unknown critter that hiked it's way into the display tank. I figure it came with either the Leptastrea or Torch coral I recently added. My first guess would be it is a baby serpentstar of some kind, however I'd love to hear your thoughts on it. Apologies for the quality and blue color. Again, it was almost light out when I first noticed it and I had to zoom in quite a bit to have it in view. -
does anybody have any idea what the name/kind of zoanthids these are? thse are the best pics I could find searching through my camera roll from a couple months ago. I bought them from my LFS and they didn't have any specified name. I know in the third pic there's some radioactive dragon eyes mixed in there with another one, maybe two types, of zoas. and a rough guess that those are spiderman zoas in the second? I have no clue what zoas those are in the first pic. any help would be appreciated

Hi all! I'm completely new to the hobby, and after doing a bunch of research I just got my first reef tank from a local shop. They gave me a bunch of rock, and a few corals came along for the ride. Below is an image of one I'm having trouble identifying. Does anyone know what this is? Let me know if better quality pictures are needed. Thanks! Michael

Hey. I've tried and cannot work out what this is. It has what looks like the underside of a mushroom (like multiple fins) main body and a banded tentacle. I have touched with probe and is is soft but doesn't react. This is in my new 15 litre pico reef. The liverock came from LFS and was well cured. I have a colony of zoas and some GSP. I have no recent water parameters. Photos r best I can get. Thanks Eamonn

They came on my live rock. Are they problematic? If not, how do I keep them alive? Are they going to die as my tank cycles? Thanks!!

Need help identifying this (with pictures)
HingleMcCringleberry posted a topic in Beginners Discussion
Does anyone know what this is. It just showed up and it’s right after I was an idiot and didn’t dip a new coral. Should I be concerned? -
Hello all, this is my first post here on the forum but I had a question in regard to what type of agae I have growing in my tank. My Tank has been going strong for about 6 months now. My parameters are all normal but have just begun to see a rapid growth of this random agae. The first picture is of the side of my tank and the second is a zoomed in on a spot. Thanks for your help!

Help me identify this coral and what foods should i consider use in the future
CoralStorm posted a topic in Coral Forum
first off i want to find out what kind of coral i bought a while back. im just curious. and also i just finished feeding phytoplankton to my corals and are now feeding reef-roids. out of curiosity should i find a new coral food or maybe should i have any advice with food i currently feed them. Note: [my tank is a little cloudy because i just finished feeding and accedentally overloaded the food. lol, my bad] the coral is in the shell -

What the HECK is this thing? Is it nice? Is it mean? What do I do!? Bristle wrongs are no big but I have never seen anything like this guy, though I am very new to this community! Please help a girl out!

Hi, this is my first post and my first reef tank. Its been running for 3 weeks and all is good and well. I found some interesting critter living in my rock. I've been unable to identify ot on my own but maybe some wiser person might be able to help. What I know about it's behaviour: It looks like it hides by covering itself with a stoney looking plug. It has one long feeler that seems to just sway in the water column. Not much more. Thanks for your help!😁

Thanks for your help? I’ve noticed green all over the rocks with small specs of purple. Is this coralline?

Hi, I purchased this snail and this crab at my lfs and I didn’t catch the name of them, and I can’t find them anywhere online. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Hi, I need an identification on this coral please? I found the picture on google but I can’t seem to find the name of it. Thanks.

Hi guys, I just bought my first set of live rock and when I got home I realized I got some hitchhikers. I have no idea what they are and I can’t find them on google. Can someone tell me if they’ve ever seen them before, what they’re called, what they eat, etc? Anything would help. I actually love the little guys and I want to make sure they’re safe. Also, I’m actually in the process of cycling my tank. Ammonia’s currently at 2 ppm, and salinity is at 1.022. Is this okay for them? Included picture and here’s a link to a video I took (https://streamable.com/83shb). Thanks in advance.

Was given this coral last week and I can’t figure out what it is. I think itÂ’s a type of mushroom but not entirely sure. ItÂ’s doing well in my softie tank though.Â

Hello, I’m wondering if someone can help identify this thing I noticed in my tank today. I did see this originally on one of my small purple snails and though it was part of the shell but now this thing is on the back wall of the tank. Kind of looks like a pill bug. My other snail has one on it to unless it has also moved.....
