Red slime and zoas

[Kapachuka3]

Seems there’s a lot of red slime on some of my live rocks and it’s bothering my zoas, cause there not opening up a lot, is this true, and what eats red slime? Maybe an urchin??

Looks like red velvet algae or maybe thick cyano.
A large turkey baster will suck that up and u spray it in a bucket or down the toilet.

Look at increasing over all flow and filtration.

Cool thanks, my aquarium store is having a sale and was wondering what eats this stuff? Feels like having something else eat this would be easier.

Unfortunatly its a by product of bad water and nothing will want to eat it.
