Thinking I have an outbreak of cyano. I have a reddish brown algae covering the sand, and I’m having to scrape the glass multiple times a day and it’s making the water cloudy. Any recommendations? Not sure if this related, but I had bottomed out nitrates few weeks ago. I increased my feedings to twice a day, but this cyano seems to have gotten worse. I’ve been dosing NeoNitro and got my nitrates to 4 so I’m happy with that. Nothing appearing stressed. I’ve stopped dosing coral animos daily, and temporarily stopping feeding the corals incase this is fueled from a nutrient overload. My parameters have been decent other than my low nitrates. I’ve added more snails over the weekend too. Trying to combat this as naturally as possible.
My snail seems to be freshly dead, but before I was about to take him out I noticed small red bugs. Any idea what that might be?
Who is this traveler on the snail without a ticket? 🐌
Can anyone tell me what is the pink stuff growing on my snail?
OK, this is a new one for me. I’ve seen snail eggs in patterns but not this. Friend or foe or WTH.

My snail is leaving this trail, anyone seen this before?
Day 46!
Some string type of algae is growing. Tomorrow I’ll scrub the glass and do a small water change.
How many snails do you count?
I scrubbed the rocks, & did a 3 gallon water change and added some snails. Let me know what y’all think. Just an update on the Bubble Tip anemone / Hair Algae issue.
Help me I’d snail that hitchhiked with coral. Don’t add to tank?
Hey all, just got some trochus snails and one of them has some weird tentacles coming out the side of its shell. I’m sure it’s a hitchhiker but just don’t know what it is. Any help is appreciated!
Are these tentacles normal for Trochus Snail? Or aptasia/pest? New to hobby, just added CUC yesterday. Thx
I am thinking it’s feather duster worm but growing on my snail. It does retract and disappears completely.
