What's all this white stuff on my gbta???

[Romulax]

What's all this white stuff on my gbta? Is there a way to make it go away? I bought him bleached and he's looking better than he did. He's starting to get some color back in him but now this white curdy lookin stuff is on him.

Looks like a sponge like substance
Exposing sponge to air generally stops it in its’ tracks

Is it always like that, or only when its mouth is open?

 

[Romulax]

It's always like that. My ammonia and nitrites are at 0, my nitrate around 5 and phosphate at .03.

Is it messentrial filaments? Is it coming from the anemone ?

 

[Romulax]

Maybe? It looks more like curds than filaments though

 

[Romulax]

Does anyone have any advice on whats happening or what i should do??? It's been like this for a couple days...

 

[Paleozoic_reefer]

+1 on messentrial filaments...something is making it not happy at all! Did you change something recently or is something out of wack with your parameters?

 

[Romulax]

Not that i can think of. I thought it might be because my phosphates and nitrates were at zero, but I've been dosing both trying to keep nitrates around 5ppm and phosphates around .02 and he started getting color back and seemed to be doing better up till a couple days ago nitrates at 0 ammonia at 0. I've been trying to get my lights dialed in... would not having enough light cause that?

Looks like a melting nem to me. AKA dying.

 

[Romulax]

I wouldn't think so... he still expands and contracts. He's also still gaining color every day. And today he seems to have less of the stuff hanging out

 

[Romulax]

So his tentacles have shrank a lot more and there's even more filaments hanging out of my nem. Even though his tentacles nacre shrank, they're still getting greener. He's also starting to lose his stick but he isn't melting yet and he doesn't stink. It's there any chance of saving this thing or is it a goner?

Ciprofloxacin 250mg per 10/G of water. He needs to be treated asap or will likely die.
