Hello all, I have a 40 gallon salt water tank that has been established for about 2 years now. I have a tomato clownfish (been in tank 1 year) and an Oscellaris clownfish (been in tank about 6 months). The only other tank inhabitants are a chocolate chip starfish, long spine urchin, snails, and...

So I have had a small (about 2 inches) hippo tang that I got from my LFS about three months ago. He was in their tank for 1-2 months and was ich free at the time I picked him up. He spent 6 weeks in my QT tank during which he showed zero signs of any illness. Low and behold I pop him in my DT...

Hey everyone, recently I noticed some pale white spots on my domino damsel, they are really hard to see and I cant get a picture. They are about 2mm in diameter and cover his whole body. They can best be seen when the light hits him in the right way. I havent noticed him acting differently, he...

So I have identified what is on my sixline wrasse. Flukes!!! I just setup a quarantine tank (QT) to treat the fish in without disturbing the corals, inverts, etc.. I am curious if I should take out all my fish (clown, blenny, chromis, and the sixline) and place them all in the QT. My hope is...

Guys, I need help. I got a beautiful anemone around a week ago for my two black clown fish. I woke up three days ago to find that he had closed up and lost a tad of color. He lets go of his rock and floats around and shrivels up. I replaced some of the lighting , fixed up the heater, changed the...

Hi Reef Tank... Got a question since suddenly my fish started getting a "milky or chalk like whitish tone" ... They definitely look sick although it doesn't seem like ich ... My Niger Triggerfish and a Mandarin Goby both died a couple of days ago, and they both showed a white patch around the...

My flame angelfish has these whitish blotches around its mouth. I just noticed them a few minutes ago. It also has some pale, but not as noticeable, blotches on its body. Is this marine velvet? I have never encountered it before. I have a uv sterilizer which is supposed to help treat it. I will...

Hi Please help! My clownfish is staying at the bottom of the tank and not eating at all. It started doing this after my fire goby died a few days ago. Water quality is fine and also have fire shrimp in there which is doing fine. Is it ill or just upset because it lost a friend? There are no...

I got some new zoas about two weeks ago and only a few of the dozen opened up after several days. The unopened zoas seemed to be fadeding out, shrinking, and melting away. I started reading online about zoa poxs and treating it with a furan 2, a fish fungus medicine. I got some furan and put all...

I've had my two oscellaris clowns for two weeks & they seem to have acclimated to my almost-five-month-old 55g tank very well. They are eating well and generally busy scouting out amphipods and shrimp larvae. I noticed this morning that they both have a whitish color to their lips - I can't...

My foxface just gave me a scare. I had recently fed the tank thawed brine shrimp, something he really dislikes. I was busy checking all the fish - you know, nose to glass examining for ich or thinness or unusual behavior. My foxface had small brown spots near his dorsal darker color line...

My Kole tang showed up with this weird circular thing on him yesterday. He is still acting normal, eating and has good color. He has a similar thing on his head but not as bad and is a straight line not circular. I hope you guys could tell me what it is. I was hoping it would go away...
