Hey People,

Long time reader, first time poster.

I need a little help with this one. Is this cyanobacteria on the sps? Not sure what it is? I tried blowing it off with a baster but that actually blow off a bunch of pollips... So Im thinking the sps is unable to rid itself of this....

My Tanks Stuff:

150 gallon DT with 60 gallon refuge with macro
4 x MP40s
4 EcoTech 60D modified
Nitrates @ 3ppm
Phos @ .04
Dosing Vodka 1ml a day
Dosing 2 part
Dosing trace stuff (iron & potassium)

Hopefully this image i attached shows up on this. Thanks in advance everyone.

alk is 8.5, calcium is 450 and salinity is 1.24... AS far as the skeleton, I can see it a little because when I tried to blow off the red stuff some of the pollips blew off. weird.... It kinda looks like cyano slime to me but I dont really have any cyano in the tank except for a little in the sump. And Im not sure why, if this is cyano, it would attack only this birdsnest and one other birdsnest I have. All the other sps in the tank appear fine.
