Need help with my Sarcophyton leather coral
Hi everyone! I’m looking for some advice about my Sarcophyton leather coral.
It hasn’t opened or extended its polyps for about a month. The coral is still soft to the touch and moves naturally with the water flow, but green patches that look like algae are starting to grow on its surface.
I’ve noticed that a film forms on the top of the coral. I gently removed it once, but it seems to be forming again.
All my other corals nearby are doing well, but this Sarcophyton still hasn’t opened.
Has anyone experienced something similar? What could be causing this, and what would you recommend I do to help it recover?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Algae is back. Tank looks rubbish again
Are these likely copepods ? I added some 2 weeks ago and haven’t seen any during the day since adding ( thinking they’ve all been eaten) it’s the first time I’ve seen them on a night if so. Drawn to the glass which has some algae growth. Thoughts ?
My tank is full of green algae bloom can anyone help me with this it’s been 10 days and I did 20% of water change
I might have the wrong macro algae tag, where I’m from we call this Acid Rain. Love how the blenny chills in this spot🥰
Conch wave ! Making light work of the diatoms , currently in the ugly phase. Any other recommendations for CUC to add or leave as they are ? Been in a week and a lot of algae build up on the rock work. I have a tuxedo urchin and 3 turbo snails also, but don’t want to overstock (80 litres)
Need some help combating this algae unsure what is causing it but have a feeling my SIL dosed reefroids while watching my tank for me (ignore my car I just got home from work she wanted love)
Can I just come out here and appreciate the work that goes into tanks
I’ve been hobbying for 2 years now, the hobby is incredibly time consuming, I have to hold my hands up to applause the people who have hugely successful tanks, any tips to get mine looking good, I have algae and aiptasia in mine, it’s 35l
The pic of the tank is 2 months ago, algea on the rocks has gone a small bit, brown dust on the sand has gone too
Ive got this green algae that I cant seem to get under control. Parameters are normal except high Magnesium. Doing weekly 20% water changes to lower it but the algae still kicks in hard. Any suggestions?
