*Welcome to Reef2Reef @verde1933 !* I would agree with investing in some test kits.How are you currently measuring salinity? Your corals look really happy to me.As far as feeding goes,I feed once or twice per day.I try to make sure the fish get plenty eat and that they leave a little excess for the inverts.

Found this today while cleaning my tank. I'm new to this hobby. What is it? Should I remove it ?

 

[verde1933]

Not the fish. Lol. The stuff growing from the sand

 

[Zero Nitrates]

Some macro algae. You could manually take it out or a yellow tang would like that for a snack.

 

[DeniseAndy]

remove it before it get too bad. The green algae, not the fish.

 

[verde1933]

What is this ? Good or bad? I'm still new at this

 

[McMullen]

That's a keeper worm. Also called a don't handle with bare hands worm

[McMullen]

@verde1933, I was waiting for someone to say for sure. The worm is either bristle or fire worm.

Welcome

So I've heard that toadstool leathers will shed. Just verifying that this is what is taking place. Just started today. It's been in my tank for approximately 4 months. Everything else in the tank is doing great.

 

[Tahoe61]

Yes looks like a normal shedding event. It may take days to return to the polyp extension you're using to seeing.

What are those bubbles under the rock ?

 

[verde1933]

Tank is officially six months old

 

[Zero Nitrates]

Bubble algae.
Very carefully take it out without popping them. Popping them will cause more.
Or you can get some emerald crabs. They will eat the bubble algae.
I use both methods.

 

[verde1933]

Found this on my rock. What is it ?

Found this on my rock. What is it ?

Well that certainly seems to be the question. I'm sorry bud, I don't have the answer to that. I hope you uncover this conundrum soon. Nevertheless, your beautiful reef has very intricate aesthetic appeal. I like it very much!
Sorry that I'm unable to help.

Did u get another Kole tang or is that an old picture? And that looks like aptasia to me which is a bad. Kill it before it spreads or attacks. There is several ways of doing it can even do it with a laser if u want Google aptasia and see which way will work best for u.
