1.) When I bought the forestfire digitata i wasnt paying enuff attention to notice some kind of algaeish looking brown hair growing on the tip of one end. Had it for 2 months and still alive. The polyps extend well and the other two tips look happy. Wat is it and how do i cure it?
I tried blasting it with turkey blaster and brushing it with toothebrush but it seems to come back..
2.) There is a white flowerish looking polyp next to my zoas.. i even saw 1 on my frogspawn and was wondering if its harmful. Corals dnt seem to b much affected by it yet, how do i get rid of this? Its small enuff to b hard to manually take out with a twizzer.. it goes in if i touch it so its real hard to take out. Tried dipping it without success. Harmful? If so how do i get rid of them?
3 ) my hammers polyps look super healthy and puffy, but the stem/base has a skeleton on one side... thought it might be my hermit crab picking on it since it seems to be there quite a lot. Can it heal back to normal? It eats really well when i feed it and thankfully the polyps arent skeletonizing.
My water perimeters are all good says my lfs.
Nitrate 5
Nitrite 0
Ammonia 0
Calcium 450
Mag 1350
Ph 8 to 8.5
Kh 180 i think it was...
I check my water 2 to 3 times a week.
1 time i had salinity low at 1.022 for about a day or two because of too much ro water top off.
