Please help!!!

Sorry for bad picture but if you focus in the middle of this Zoa, there is a green bubble or egg. Any idea what this is? A couple months ago I notice this green bubble or tiny egg on some of my live rock. I'm dying to figure this out! Anyone can help or at least point me to the right direction? Thank you so much!

Bubble algae.
If it's just one or a few remove Zoa frag of the rock and scrap the bubble off and rinse really good in a bowl of tank water before you put it back in your tank.
Reason for rinsing is that the bubble has tons of spores inside and by not rinsing you'll seed you tank and in a month from now you good a few hundred.

Thank you! I am going to do this right now. Is there anything that I can do to prevent them from popping up?

 

[Diesel]

The first prevention to all new corals in the tank is dipping and a close look for pest or other unusual objects on or around the coral.

 

[krystlemike]

Definitely will do for future purchases. Ty!

 

[Diesel]

No problem.
Show us if you have a chance a FTS.

 

[krystlemike]

Huh?

 

[Diesel]

Sorry, FTS (full tank shot)

 

[krystlemike]

Here's a couple shots, let me know, I can take more angles.

Bubble algae usually comes from high phosphates and nitrates if you feed alot cut back on the feeding.

 

[krystlemike]

We feed every 3 days. OK will do, ty so much!!!

 

[krystlemike]

Il try to do every week and monitor my levels. Ty again. They will do fine with once a week feeding?

 

[Diesel]

I don't think you feed to much, tanks looks clean and healthy.
Once a week wouldn't be enough for your fish.
I would just feed everyday but just enough that your fish will eat it in matter of seconds.
You always can test your water for PO4 (phosphate) either yourself with a good test kit or your LFS if you have one close.
Nice pics and your rock work looks cool.

 

[krystlemike]

Thank you so much! Il slow down the feeding just incase. I mostly do the cloudy water method for the corals and brine shrimp for my anemones and corals together. Like I just spray at everything I got lol.

 

[Diesel]

Sounds good keep us up to date with your tank.

HOW I FEED MY TANK IS A SMALL PINCH GIVE THEM A COUPLE SECONDS TO EAT THE FOOD AND REPEAT ONE MORE TIME DEPENDING HOW HUNGRY THE FISH ARE.tHATS HOW MY LFS INFORMED TO DO IT JUST WHAT THEY EAT IN A COUPLE SECONDS AND THATS IT.

Correct, that is some awesome advise your LFS gave you.
