What is "ringing" my hammer and torch??

I just noticed this on my corals over night.

Looks like some sort of dinoflagellate to me. Blow it off with a turkey baster.

That coral or one of your other corals is renewing its zooxanthellae. This golden-brown stuff on your frogspawn are their remains.

My bubble coral spits this stuff out in large quantities about ones every 3 weeks.

Nothing to be alarmed about imo.

good to know, I was able to just blast it off and it was happy.

Definitely some form of dinoflagellate. Watch your nutrient input...right now its no biggie but if you aren't careful they can proliferate. Blow it off with a turkey baster as stated, but do watch your nutrients.....particularly in a 24 g tank as they can accumulate quickly.

sorry,

warning.


heavy noob warning ahead.

what do you mean by nutrients? Something is definitly going on with my tank because she is getting a tint of green from her normal Clear self.
I am about to make a post about protein skimmer because its had a heavy hand in it.
