Agreed they will starve but you trade them off when your problem is gone.. if they do happen to ink it doesn’t hurt anything even if they die they don’t nuke your tank like everyone said back in the day! That was all false!
I can't agree there i did have one die/ink on me in a 180gal and it did do damage to my corals. Didn't kill any fish but i did lose some corals.
Pull off as much as you can by hand and scrub the rest outside the tank in a container of tank water if possible with a firm toothbrush and some 3% hydrogen peroxide.
+1. Maybe try running some GFO to bring this down
Ok I'll use some gfo
Tank is around seven or eight months old now, I have majestic angelfish, purple tang, Kole tang, baby clown trigger, snowflake eel, clownfish, 3 wrasses and then a bunch of astea snails, emerald crabs, some other snails, cucumber, brittle star. I feed a cube of mysis in the morning and pellets at night, also feed nori and a piece of shrimp 2 or 3 times a week.
I've heard mixed things about hydrogen peroxide will it be safe for all of my corals and fish? Also I have most of those cuc already. I'm using rodi water, I'll try some gfo to get the phosphate down. Also yeah my tanks near a window it gets a little bit of sunlight in the morning but that's it. Thanks.
Phosphates are pretty high
Ok I'll try and lower them. Thank you.
Phosphate E would be my recommendation
Do you think gfo from bulk reef supply would be fine? If not I'll just buy some of the phosphate E.
Buy both
That's interesting I didn't know that
