What is this?

[Roy 9121]

Anyone know what this is, and what i can do about it?

What exactly are you asking about? I see some RBT tentacles on the right, a frog spawn, and what looks to be either clove polyps or possibly majano anemones.

I'm talking about the brown stuff all over the star polyps

Does it blow off or brush off easily? If so get some airline tubing and siphon it off. What are parameters and lighting schedule and setup?

 

[Roy 9121]

Not sure what my parameters are, going to test tonight. I am running LEDs at about 10 hrs a day.

cyano. if its a new coral, the coral should slough of the outer skin and the stuff will go a way.
Looks like daisy polyps.

No sweat. check that link. Its pretty good. The shorter tentacles are oft called daisy polyps.

If those are the ones that the purple mat will peel off the rock easily its a daisy. really cool too... Ive been looking for some for years. Normal GSP and branching GSP has a grey brown mat and long tentacles.
The daisy I have now have no mat at all. weird, but have really big "flowers".

I'm not sure you would want this until i get this problem solved.

Lol. I think it's just cyano.
It blows Off with a turkey Baster?
Is that rock new?

No it's not new rock. Isn't cyano usually more red, or purple. This looks like dirt.

 

[saltyfilmfolks]

Lotsa colors. Wait till you see lime green. Is it a low flow area? I like that Daisy's to move.

It is a little low flow, think i need one more power head.

 

[saltyfilmfolks]

Yea flow, good Ph, good feeding, good light will all help. Its not just about nutrints really. Cyano likes high c02, high nutrients high dissolved solids and light.
your not feeding aminos?

 

[Roy 9121]

No aminos
