Bubbles on my coral

[BretCreager]

Hi we just set up a new tank, downsized from 70 to 29. Anyway one of my corals has weird bubble thibgs on it. Can anyone give me an idea what it is or what much cause it?

picture would help. if they are green, it probably is bubble algae. it is a stubborn algae, and i have been fighting it in my tank for about 8 months

Only thing different that I could think of is new lights and closer tp the surface because of the smaller tank

It could be tissue damage (from the lights) which I think is very likely, given that you have new lights and they are closer to the surface. I would move them away and keep your parameters as stable as possible.

looks like tissue irritation, like hives on a person

this cleared up after moving coral to the bottom of the tank and giving it about a week to heal. no signs of lasting issues. thanks everyone
