Oh man, very sorry to see this! I had a bucket like that 3.5 years ago I know how painful it can be. Hope things turn around for you.

Pete polyp · Sep 30, 2015

I'm at the tail end of it. There's a few more that haven't made it into the bucket yet.

Pete polyp · Sep 30, 2015

I had a bucket full April 2014, just hang in there. It happens to everyone @ some point. It's what u do now that separates a true Reefer from a finding Nemo hobbiest.

Pete polyp · Sep 30, 2015

Yah well. I tried everything to get rid of it. Finally a friend of ours suggested uv. Now why didn't I think of that? It's doing the trick

@hybridazn EF Thanos is one of the few that's looking like it will make it

Not what I was expecting. Been there as well. Although my fair share of dinos never hurt anything just unsightly. Definitely suggest a triton test.

And I believe emerald crabs in large numbers for dinos as well as briopsis. By large numbers, I put a total of 60 in my 200g in a matter of weeks, and inside of a month, problems gone. Then my fowlr got crazy dinos and I moved them a few a time into there to until it was gone, inside of a month. And it was the long stringy bubbly almost like hair algae but definitely not hair algae type, that disintegrates kind of when you squeeze it.

EDIT: And emerald crabs are only 5.50 ea on live aquaria, gotta use the build your own pack option to get that price.

That sucks. Sorry to hear about that.

Are the rest of your corals OK?

There's not much more in this tank. A couple chalice and some zoa. It didn't have any effect on those. Except for turning my candy apple red into candy apple orange
