Cyano. Nothing major. Just keep up on your cleaning and nutrient management

Looks like cyano, personally I would use chemiclean to get a fresh start then try to address how you got there in the first place to keep it from happening again.

I don’t remember how it got there I just added a coral and is not doing good bc of that

Usually people recommend more flow, less feeding.... There is a BRS video that recommends vibrant to help as well, but if it is getting on the coral I would personally do chemiclean in my experience it is reef, fish and invertebrate safe just make sure you add extra areation and it usually works within 48 hours.

Cyano can smother stuff if you let it. Grab some hose and just syphon it out of the tank.

i would recommend chemipure ,check phosphate,before chemiclean ..jmo..

And you can blow it off rocks and corals with a turkey baster first! I actually use one of those cheap coral feeders that you can get off of Amazon to do this -- the 18" ones are perfect for it.
