    We just started a salt water tank and don't know what type of fish this is. And this slime looking thing growing on the rocks. Please help.

    I'm not sure on the fish, but the thing on the rock is either a sponge or a tunicate.

    I'm not positive, but I think the fish looks like it may be a orange chromis. If so, they are brackish but can live in full salt I believe.

    I like your dog coylee.


    I have no idea what that fish is, but let's get some more details about your tank and some full tank pictures.

    I think the fish is a yellow pseudochromis. I don't know what the thing on the rock is though.
