Any idea what this stuff is?

[scfurse77]

Can't figure what this stringy brown stuff is or where it's coming from? But it seems to ticking off my zoas, leather and anything else it touches? Could it be coming off my Toadstool Leather?

Hmm. /puts fingers in mouth and whistles for the #reefsquad

Just looks like brown algae. Blow it off the corals with a turkey baster and check your PO4.

My guess, its the beginning of a Cyanobacteria bloom.

It's brown, not red like cyano. I was thinking it was some sort of algae to. I'm feeding the same I've always fed. Phosphates are the same as they've always been just barely above zero

My guess is bacteria
Or a dinoflagellate

Maybe a spaghetti worm?

+1 I use one of my soft color brushes to sweep it into the current. The skimmer usually catches it and it's gone for a while.

I agree.My first guess would be dinos.
