I moved my coral to a lower part of my tank (thinking  it was getting too much PAR) any ideas!?

What is happening to my poor coral??!??

My devils hand is losing slot of polyps lately. I know that's how they reproduce but it has lost quite a bit in the last month or two. I noticed my lawnmower blenny likes to sit on top of it but he's not biting it or anything. Is this normal? 

It still looks healthy and vibrant.

Devils hand losing slot of polyps 

Corals from my LPS

Hi, woke up this morning and noticed my bounce orange coral mushroom has one brown bounce. More inspection I think one bounce also seems pale. I just cover half of my light on its side of the tank for now til I can get to it. Gonna re-scape it to create more bottom shade later today when I’m free but for now I cover the light but still have light for my Xenia. 

I’m not sure if it’s too much light or flow but I doubt its flow. This is a Fluval 13. Mostly mushrooms. My nitrates are on the low side and with 10% water change it’s almost 0. I’m looking to add fish to help feed them. My glass browns about every 3 days but my phosphate is on the low side too. I was feeding mysis to my fish which he didn’t eat much and my crab and snail ate some but I still haven’t increase nitrates. So I do have food scraps on the sand bed. I do notice 1 strand of green hair algae directly on top outta my pump nozzle just above my bouncing mushrooms so I think it’s too much light possibly even tho it’s sits at bottom. The rest of the tank is brown algae so I know it’s low light.

I do have a hermit crab and a snail but I still like to increase my bio load. I’ve got a pulsating xenia that’s also new so I have something that can eat more bio load and keep it in check. I have started amino acids for 2 days. I do notice more color on my green mushrooms but very faint. My calcium is around 400. I haven’t messed with magnesium ..yet. Ph sits about 8. I do use Brightwell for calcium and ph. Not the 2 part tho but the one for carolina grow. My water source is imagitarium Pacific Ocean water. I top off with RO, Berky filtered tap water which has no chloramines or Pacific Ocean water just depending to bring my levels back up. I use to do weekly but now it’s more like 3 or 4 weeks before I need to do a water change. 

Salinity is about 1.025. I had a fish but I didn’t like him throwing sand on my mushrooms so he’s been evicted. But my lfs tells me I need to add fish. It’s just a 10 gallon to me and I’m not too keen in keeping fish in small water volume. But I’m not motivated to keep fish that i don’t like. I can upgrade to a 40..which is usually my largest nano. I just do not want to get half body wet or have to put on a wet suit to dive each time I have to work on a reef. So nano I what I rather keep. I know it’s more work. Now ppl keep telling me I should get whatever fish I want..which I want a clown fish lol but the reef police says they need 20 gallon each. So I’m okay with no fish. But now it’s being frowned upon bc I need to have a fish for nitrates and stuff to feed my corals. My crab and snail can barely feed the new additions. I’m on the fence about it. If I get a clown I will likely have to do a bigger tank upgrade which I rather not. I pretty much have everything for an upgrade setup but i rather not. Overall my tank is too clean except the brown algae and my sand bed needs help turning. Was thinking about a diamond goby that sifts sand. I have the fine live sand so it’s not corse and difficult to clean even with vacuuming. 

My lfs keeps their bouncing mushroom in the shade underside rocks with barely much flow. These are its babies. The baby to the right has been growing. I’ve had these for about a week. 

I do tend to be up off hours and my light schedule is a bit off at times with insomnia and then I spend time watching my tanks with lights on odd hours so I have it a blackout day yesterday with only about 3 hours of light total. 

Thanks for reading reefers.. sorry for the rambles.

Help please if anyone knows? Bounce mushroom coral with 1 brown bounce ..should I be concerned? Is that a red algae in the middle? I had 3 but my hairy mushroom crushed one and my fish tore it up. Thank you and sorry for the ramble.

Rainbow hornet Zoa

I found this in India, Goa, arambol beach, near the sweet lake, on a rock. It was sticky and it was closed when I touched it and opened again. 
Is it a coral or else what?

Hi everyone, I’m brand new I corals and I just picked up some Xenia frags (don’t judge lol)

Anyways, im putting them in a cube tank and with my live rock it’s hard to get my hands around the tank to place them,
They keep falling off my live rock, and landing upside down (I’m worried this will
Damage them)

The guy I got them from said not to glue them down. Is he right? Would I be okay to glue them down?


Any other suggestions would be good, im pretty new to this and just looking to try some easy corals before i spend more money on more expensive frags.

I will add- I did turn down most water flow in my tank , at least for now until these stick to the rock. Only flow I have now is coming from my filter

New to corals,

Is there anything related to corals for freshwater? If no, why not?

Why are there no freshwater corals?

I’ve had this Hemprichii for a month now and it just doesn’t appear to be adjusting well, any advice would be appreciated. Tank is 2 years old and stable, mixed reef.

This clownfish is swimming at some corals

what is this?

is coral growing on my sea shell ? been sitting in my bathroom for years and never saw any red spots until recently

Does this not exist in real life? I mostly see grey some dirty orange/yellow and dirty cream corals

This stunning jellyfish swims calmly through the ocean. The location is covered with lots of corals.

This jellyfish swims peacefully in the sea. Many corals out there

Can someone ID this zoanthid?
