Can anyone help me ID this? Really hoping its not majano or aptaisia.

Can't give a really accurate ID from that pic. Could be just about anything with tentacles.

Algae?

Colonial hydroids. Bad. They spread fast, ugly, and can sting corals.

Ding ding ding.
I believe we have a winner. I googled it, and that's in fact what they look like. How do we get rid of them?

And they have spread, quick.

Ok so how do I get rid of these? Any ideas?

Take the rock out and cut the rock out from under them. You can also cover them with kalk paste if it's a small enough area.

That's what I was reading. If it's on 3 small spots (willing to do at different times because kalk can affect pH), can I apply the kalk paste while in the tank if I turn the flow off?

That's what it said to do in a different forum, just want a second opinion.

Yes, but keep an eye on your ph, in a small tank like the nanocube parameters can drift out of range very quickly.

One more thing, you should double check you frag plugs, if they are clean, you could temporarily move your livestock to brandons tank while you work on yours, the fish could hang out in a critter keeper for a few days (like you saw in my tank width that anemone) that way you don't have to catch them to move back to your tank. Just in case you overdo it if you decide to work inside the tank.

That's a really good idea - thanks. That will keep my babies safe from Brandon's hag ocellaris too. I'd rather be safe than sorry.. I just don't know how I'll EVER catch my goby. Lmfao. I need him to come out!



LET THE GAMES BEGIN.. when Brandon gets home of course.

Haha, yea, let him do all the work! Catching fish is stressful enough not pregnant!

Thanks I appreciate the help. This forum is full of comedians. They should change the name to chcagocomedians.com where the windy city d***heads show their true colors.
