Who Gives A Fish Forums

I really hope you take the advice given here seriously. I've been down the seahorse road before, and let me tell you, it was a tough ride. I had a decent amount of experience with fish, and even some time with marine tanks, but seahorses are in a whole different league. They're extremely challenging ...

I started with a single clown in a smaller tank, 10 gallons to be exact, and at the time I thought it was doing alright, but looking back I can see it wasn't truly happy. Fast forward to now, I've got three in a 29-gallon setup and the difference is like night and day - they're genuinely thriving.

I'm really sorry to hear about your loss, I can relate since I've lost a dwarf lion before and I know how special they can be. I'm currently keeping a volitans. I'd like to know more about your lion, what kind was it and what was its diet like? I recall having a fuzzy dwarf for over a year, but I ...

Yo, sounds like your nutrients are too low. SPS need some nitrates and phosphates to keep their colors poppin'. Try bumping nitrates to 5 ppm and phosphates to 0.03 ppm. Also, check your alk, bro. If it's swinging, that'll mess with your corals big time.

Everything seems off. All the LPS corals I've added - elegance, torch, and bubble corals - were fully open for the first two-three days, but then they started to recede:

1. Elegance coral: fully retracted for the past 5 days
2. Bubble coral: not fully open, very small bubbles
3. Torch coral ...

It's possible that the white things you're seeing are Mesenterial Filaments, which can be used as a defense mechanism, but stress is also a likely cause. Just keep a close eye on it to be safe. Good luck.


So that's a normal thing, I guess. I used to think it was pests, but how could every brain ...

Can anyone ID this brain coral for me? It looks a bit weird with those bug-like things coming out of its mouth - what are those things?

That's a tiny tank you've got there. It's definitely nano territory. We've got a section dedicated to Lynxo marine tanks, I'd recommend checking that out. Honestly, I think it's too small for coflakes. You might consider live sand or crushed coflakes instead, paired with some live rock. If you're ...

Honestly, it's sustainable in captivity? That's great to hear, I've always thought gonipora corals were doomed in tanks. Guess I need to rethink my stance on this.

Yeah, I see them around, not really my thing though.


So basically I've got this info that it's just a red morph of Gonipora, and it's still pretty tough to keep alive in captivity, right? No difference in survival rate compared to the common green ones.

I just get the feeling this guy is ...
