Hi all what could be the bubbles on frogspawn it's closed and they have appeared today thansk

It looks like bubble algae, but I'm not 100%.

Pics under white light would likely help with an ID, but bubble algae is a good guess at this point.

yes white pic would be great ,looks like micro air bubbles to me
but more importantly ,with that pic frog doesn't look so good.??

I'm no expert but is that same colony as the green frogspawn above or was it a different colour before as that bottom one looks brown? So could it be bjd ( brown jelly diesese) ?
As I can't see nothing that resembles bubbles but maybe can't see the wood because the forest idk
But as I say no expert here,just see brown lol

Ok can see edge of that frogspawn was greenish but rest is brown so some algae growing on it producing bubbles ( can see some that looks like could be bubbles or/and at end of tips of tentacles so brown algae growing on nearly dead coral or bjd ?
I know my torch that got bjd didn't produce bubbles though but caught it quick and gave witch hazel dip straight away but binned it as just fell to bits but maybe I'm way off point
Good luck

That coral is not looking good. I see bubbles all the way around it.
Need a pic in white as everyone else stated.
Might as well post parameters too.

If it’s green it’s bubble algae if it’s clear then it’s air bubbles. Alternatively if you take it out of the water and they go away it’s air bubbles.

This is with white lights on the rest of it looks fine it's just that one head and the bubbles

 

[twiggy]

should i dip it to be sure

IDK, still can't see much of anything in that blurry pic. All I can see is the head is almost dead.

 

[DE FISH]

That looks dead :/

 

[fishguy242]

rest looks fine, air bubbles or not ,i would just take that branch out...

 

[twiggy]

It might crumble with bone cutters. Only remove if something is actually wrong with it.
