Hi guys and girls, here is a little update of my tank. After the take over, I was very excited to start the hobby, and I know it's going to be difficult. But the former owner had something wrong in the sump, so the parameters were going all the way off. I finally found the problem and solved it with a daily water change.
I am happy everything held strong through this hard time. Unfortunately, two snails have not made it.
And the candy coral is one head bleaching; the rest is doing great, they open nicely, and some of them seem to grow.
Tomorrow I am going to do the last water change, and in a couple of days, I hope everything is going in the right way again.
I have a reef aquarium with an orange Bubble Tip Anemone (Entacmaea quadricolor). The water was clear and everything seemed normal. Suddenly, within just a few minutes, the water became completely cloudy and milky white.
Just before the water turned cloudy, I noticed a white, smoke-like substance coming directly from the anemone. The anemone remained attached to the rock and its tissue appeared intact.
One additional detail: this anemone has a history of splitting and reproducing asexually, usually dividing into two anemones.
Could this have been a spawning event, mucus release, or something related to the anemone splitting? Is there a risk to the fish and corals, and what should I do immediately?
Talk about a heartbreak…. It’s been a couple months since I’ve made a post so hello again everyone! My and my wife bought a house and during the move we had to move 5, 90 gallon reef tanks. This is the before and after of my prize tank. I lost 90% of my corals. The first couple months after I almost gave up walked away this is all I have left. Thanks to a few people in the community we are SLOWLY coming back to life. When it gets tough do not give up!
