I saw this guys when i added my maroon clown

Its on the glass

 

[kratosxxl]

It look like star polyp. I tried to clean it but i feel like its flesh cuz it didn't clear completely

 

[kratosxxl]

Its only in DT and only on the glass

 

[kratosxxl]

i think its a glass aptasia, any idea how to remove it ?

 

[kratosxxl]

its stucked on the glass when i tried to clean it it became transparent (died) but was still on the glass and 10 min later i had 20 of them

 

[Reefstarter2]

looks like hair algae to me

 

[kratosxxl]

my nitrates around 15 so should i do WC ? and why its only on the glass in DT ?

15 is high dude, water changes are a must

15 is high dude, water changes are a must

15 isnt bad. I have kept mine between 40-80 for almost a year now to aid in my macro growth and everything is growing and acting healthy my fish, corals, inverts/anemones and especially my macro algae.

Same here everything is healthy , all corals doing great 2 fish doing great, its just this THING growing on the glass. i will do a water change 10 % today to see if it will make any difference. its just weird that its not in fuge or on the rock, only on a glass. my chateo is not really growing but its now dying either so im assuming its ok

Regarding the micro growth , i checked my tank in the night with flash light it was like new episode of ALIEN movie , i had so much stuff there i cant even take that much pictures.
the funniest thing was tiny worm (pinkish) he was moving super fast and kind of swirling making circles on the front glass.

Hair algae friend.

I doubt it will get much worse than that.

My opinion it's a glass anemone treat it like aptasia the fact that you killed it and it doubled is what aptasia does or glass anemone in my opinion.

Can someone help me as torch is not opening

 

[kratosxxl]

I tried with regular kalk. Didnt worked. Im afraid using kalk paste.

 

[Cfabia1]

Have you tried syphoning it out while you scrape it off with a razor blade? Should be easy since its on the glass

 

[kratosxxl]

No i didnt but ill try just want to make sure before making it worse

 

[OrQidz]

Sure looks like hair algae. I would try to siphon as you scrub at it, so as not to spread it further b

I'm not saying "it's bad" I'm saying "it's high"
